Hearts will face Austrian club Sturm Graz in the second round of Champions League qualifying.
Meanwhile, Motherwell have been drawn against Havnar Boltfelag of the Faroe Islands, while Hibernian take on the winners of tie between Vllaznia of Albania and Malisheva of Kosovo, in the same stage of the Conference League.
Hearts will be playing in the qualifiers of Europe’s top club competition for the first time in 20 years after finishing runners-up in the Scottish Premiership following a final-day defeat by reigning champions Celtic.
Sturm Graz also finished second in their domestic league behind LASK.
The Austrian club will host the first leg on 21/22 July, with the reverse fixture the following midweek.
By that time Hearts will likely be under new management, with head coach Derek McInnes seemingly poised to switch to Rangers and the Edinburgh club expected to choose a replacement within days.
