Celtic drawn against LASK as other Scottish sides discover opponents

Celtic have been drawn against Austrian champions LASK in the Champions League play-off round.

Should they lose, the Edinburgh side will face Paide Linnameeskond of Estonia or Rapid Vienna of Austria in the Conference League play-off round.

If Rangers lose, they will meet Jablonec of Czech Republic or RFS of Latvia.

Motherwell will take on Freiburg of Germany should they defeat Finland's HJK Helsinki.

What could full season of O'Neill at Celtic look like?

Celtic are at home to LASK in the first leg on 18 and 19 August, with the return game the following week.

LASK won their domestic title for the second time last season - their first since 1965 - and, like Martin O'Neill's side, qualified directly for the play-off round.

Given they could have faced Viking Stavanger, Celje, Ararat-Armenia, Kairat Almaty, Levski Sofia, AGF Aarhus or Sabah instead, it is probably the toughest draw Celtic could have been given.

Dietmar Kuhbauer's side have a lower coefficient than Celje, but the Austrian league is ranked much higher than Slovenia's.
