Dutch clubs line up for Europa league play-offs

Two Eastern Europeans, a Belgian and a Scottish club are the play-off opponents for the four Dutch football squads hoping for a place in the group stage of the Europa league.


PSV will travel to Russia to play FC Sibir Novosibirsk, while AZ takes on FK Aktobe in Kazakstan.
Rotterdam’s Feyenoord will meet closer-to-home AA Gent. FC Utrecht has what experts say is the toughest draw, against Glasgow Celtic.
The first legs will be played on 19 August, with the returns to follow a week later.
The 37 play-off winners will join holders Club Atlético de Madrid and the ten defeated sides from the Champions League play-offs in the group stage which kicks off on 16 September. The group stage draw takes place in Monaco on 27 August.
