Steven Gerrard was handed a nightmare Europa League draw as he attempts to scoop a £4m windfall from UEFA.

The rookie Sevco boss will face FK Shkupi of Macedonia in the first round with the first leg scheduled to be played at Ibrox.

Like Sevco, Shkupi were formed in the last decade and have no European pedigree.

Should Sevco manage to get through that test NK Osijek (no relation to Easyjet) are their likely second round opponents with the Croatian side reaching the play-off round of the Europa League last season.

Home and away wins against PSV Eindhoven were the stand out results from that run which was ended by FK Austria Wien who reached the group phase on the away goals rule at the expense of Osijek.

Elsewhere in the Europa League qualifiers Hibs have a first round tie against Runavik from the Faroe Isles while Aberdeen face Burnley in a second round tie.
