Hibs discover potential Europa Conference League opponents as play-off draw prepares to take place

UEFA have announced the list of teams that Hibs can draw in Monday's Europa Conference League playoff round.

The Easter Road side still have to get past Rijeka with the first leg taking place next Thursday, but will already know who they'd be playing in the final qualifying round if they make it.

Jack Ross' men saw off Santa Coloma in the second qualifying round but things look like they might get a bit harder when the playoff comes around.

They could face off against a former player in Ofir Marciano at Feyenoord, or against a former Celtic player in Vakoun Issouf Bayo at KAA Gent.

There is the potential for slightly 'easier' ties if the likes of Bohemian or KuPS get through their fixtures, and Hibs will probably hope not to get Astana.

A trip to Kazakhstan isn't high on anyone's list at this time of year when they'd need to be back in Edinburgh for a Premiership fixtures three days later.

The full list of potential opponents

1 KuPS Kuopio (FIN) / FC Astana (KAZ)
2 Bohemian FC (IRL) / PAOK FC (GRE)
3 FC Luzern (SUI) / Feyenoord (NED)
4 RFS (LVA) / KAA Gent (BEL)
