The exact format, dates and times of the Europa League Qualifying draw have now been confirmed and laid out in a Daily Record report.
Rangers, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock will find out their opponents for Qualifying Round 1 and their potential opposition for Qualifying Round 2, next week.
It had previously been thought that Rangers would find out all these details at the same time.
However, it’s now clear that the draws for QR1 and QR2 will take place on separate days.
At 2:30 pm on Tuesday 18 June, the first round draw will commence at UEFA HQ in Nyon.
Then, club representatives will reconvene on Wednesday 19 June at 1 pm for the second round draw.
Regardless of who the Gers draw in QR1, the two legs of that tie will take place on Thursday 11 July and Thursday 18 July.
As they are seeded for both draws, Steven Gerrard’s team have some protection. Even though big clubs like Roma, Wolves and Eintracht Frankfurt enter at the second stage, they Gers cannot be drawn against them.
