The Dons and Groningen drew 0-0 at Pittodrie last night, with the second leg due to take place in the Netherlands next week.

Motherwell, who lost a two-goal lead against Icelandic side Stjarnan to draw 2-2, could come up against former Dundee United defender Barry Douglas and Lech Poznan - but the Polish side trail 1-0 to Estonian club JK Nomme Kalju.

Kalju defeated Fram of Iceland 3-2 on aggregate in the first qualifying round.

St Johnstone, who recorded a respectable 1-1 draw away to Luzern in Switzerland, have been handed a tie against the winners of the match between Georgian club Zestafoni and Spartak Trnava of Slovakia, which is tied at 0-0 after the first leg.

Trnava defeated Hibernians of Malta 9-2 on aggregate prior to facing Zestafoni.
