Celtic, Motherwell, Dundee United find out Europa League opponents

Celtic, Motherwell and Dundee United have learnt their opponents for the third round of qualifying for the 2012/13 Europa League.

The Hoops will take on either Finnish side HJK Helsinki or Icelandic team KR Reykjavik for the chance to qualify for the group stage proper whilst the Well are up against Greek side Panathinaikos.

Celtic will play host (most likely to HJK who won the first leg 7-0) in the first leg on July 31 or August 1 with the return match a week later as Motherwell take on Pana at Fir Park.

Dundee United are set to face Russian club Dynamo Moscow in their qualifiers as St Johnstone find themselves 2-0 down after the first leg against Turkish club Eskisehirspor in the second round of qualifying.

The return bout is next week at McDiarmid Park with the winner taking on France's Marseille.
