Scottish giants Celtic will ease into the European Champions League in the second qualifying round after being drawn on Monday against either Estonia's Flora Tallinn or Lincoln of Gibraltar.

Celtic, European champions in 1967, have lost in the final playoff round for the past two seasons.

Former champions Red Star Belgrage of Serbia, European winners in 1991, will face either Maltese side Valletta or B36 Torshavn of the Faroe Islands.

Danish club FC Copenhagen meet Northern Ireland champions Crusaders, while Norwegian outfit Rosenborg are drawn against Swedish outfit Norrkoping.
