All British clash in final qualifying round

There is an all British clash in the Europa League final qualifying round after Hearts were paired with Tottenham. The group stages beckon for the winners of the qualifying matches, but at least one of the British teams will definitely bow out. Hearts host Harry Redknapp's Tottenham in the first leg on 18th August, before the return leg at White Hart Lane seven days later. Elsewhere, both Celtic and Stoke face trips to Switzerland as they were drawn to play Sion and FC Thun, respectively. Rangers drop into the Europa League after their UEFA Champions League defeat in midweek, and they face another side who tasted defeat on Wednesday in the shape of Slovenia's Maribor. Fulham's already lengthy Europa League journey continues as they face a tricky looking task against Ukraine's Dnipro. Championship side Birmingham come up against Portuguese opposition as they will take on Nacional over two legs. Irish side Shamrock Rovers look to have a daunting task on their hands as they will face Serbian giants Partizan Belgrade.
