The full draw is outlined below.
Celtic begin their Scottish Premiership title defence on Monday evening when Dundee head for Glasgow.
They return to action at Celtic Park a little less than three months after clinching their latest crown in a dramatic final-day showdown with Hearts.
Meanwhile, Shamrock Rovers will face Norway’s Lillestrom for a place in the Europa League if they can overcome Albanian side Egnatia over the coming days.
Stephen Bradley’s side are in the third qualifying round of the competition, and must beat Egnatia over two legs – starting on Tuesday at Tallaght Stadium – to progress.
Shelbourne and Bohemians are in Conference League action, facing heavyweights Ajax and FC Midtjylland next respectively.
Should Shels produce a seismic shock, they would face Switzerland’s Sion or Noah of Armenia in the play-offs. Derry City’s conquerors Riejka of Croatia or Finland’s Ilves are Bohs potential opponents should they overcome Midtjylland.
