Motherwell

Motherwell and Hibernian enter the UEFA Europa Conference League in the second qualifying round, with seeding and the draw mechanics set to shape their path toward the group stage. Both clubs now wait on UEFA’s Nyon draw and subsequent groupings to learn their potential opponents.

Hearts cling to a slender lead in the Scottish Premiership, but European dreams diverge wildly: Rangers could waltz into Champions League group stage glory, while leaders face qualifiers. Post-split fireworks loom.
