There is much Scottish interest in this week's draw for the league phase of the 2025/26 Europa League.
Celtic entered the competition on Tuesday night after they failed to qualify for the Champions League. Kairat Almaty prevailed on penalties after misses by Adam Idah, Luke McCowan and Daizen Maeda from the spot.
Meanwhile, Rangers have also drop into the Europa League, much like Celtic, with Club Brugge winning their UCL play-off tie 9-1 on aggregate.
Aberdeen had the chance to make the Europa League draw too, but will instead play in the Conference League after their defeat to FCSB over two legs.
