Heart of Midlothian have been drawn against Austrian side Sturm Graz in the second round of UEFA Champions League qualifying.

The Edinburgh club are returning to the continent's premier club competition for the first time in 20 years, having secured a runners-up finish in the Scottish Premiership — despite suffering a final-day defeat at the hands of reigning champions Celtic.

Sturm Graz arrive in the tie having also finished second in their own domestic campaign, behind LASK in the Austrian top flight.

The first leg is scheduled to take place at Sturm Graz's ground on 21/22 July, with Hearts hosting the return fixture the following midweek.

Ahead of that double-header, Hearts are expected to be operating under new management. Head coach Derek McInnes appears set to depart for Rangers, and the club are understood to be working to appoint a successor within days.
