Hibs won't get any further clues over their potential UEFA Conference League opponents until the morning of the draw, as European football's governing body hold off on allocating 'groups' until just a few hours ahead of the ceremony in Switzerland. David Gray's men, who finished fifth in the Scottish Premiership, will be seeded in the second qualifying round of the competition after Celtic's Scottish Cup win delivered a late-season European windfall. SPFL rivals Motherwell, who finished fourth after beating Hibs on the final day of the league campaign at Easter Road, will be unseeded as a result of their lesser UEFA coefficient. And that could make a massive difference when the mammoth 86-team draw is made next Wednesday. Gray's side – the first Hibs team to secure back-to-back seasons of European football in 50 years – will be looking to make a strong start in the competition. The team will be hoping to make a deep run in the tournament and bring some silverware back to Easter Road.
