If they can finish off the tie they will advance to the third qualifying round where they’ll either meet Slovenian side Maribor, who’ve eliminated Hibs, Celtic and Rangers from Europe in recent years, or Bulgarian outfit Levski Sofia.

The first leg takes place on 28 July, with the return fixture coming exactly one week later.
