6 teams need to come through qualifiers. 4 through the "Champions Route" and 2 from the "League Route". These teams are subject to change, but the teams in Black are confirmed. I think there is some doubt about Shakhtars participation (and Dynamo Kyiv's is the qualifiers) but as it stands, UEFA expect them to compete. I dont think anyone will be playing games in Ukraine anyway, so probably a neutral venue if they are involved.
Looking at that, I'd love a group with:
Barcelona (No-where near the team they used to be. We'd better them).
Dortmund (For the Haaland).
Rangers (Huge games and a good trip).
 
First Round Qualifying draw complete. Games to take place 5/6 July and 12/13 July.

None of these expected to make it through to the group stages, but some have in recent seasons (ie Sheriff, Maribor, Malmö, Ferencvaros).

Pynuik v CFR Cluj
Maribor v Shakhtyor Soligorsk
Ludogorets Razgrad v Sutjeska Niksic
Dudelange v Tirana
Tobol v Ferencvaros
Malmö v (Vikingur/Levadia/Inter Club d'Escaldes/La Fiorita)
Balkani v Zalgiris
HJK v RFS
Bodo Glimt v KI
The New Saints v Linfield
Shamrock Rovers v Hibernians
Lech Poznan v Qarabag
Shkupi v Lincoln Red Imps
Zrinjski v Sheriff
Slovan Bratislava v Dinamo Batumi

Second Round Draw takes place tomorrow, and there will be some (slightly) more familiar names added.

Never fails to amaze me how a club side from Lincoln of all places, manages to get to the First Round Qualifying draw of the CL every season????
 
I'd love Rangers if they get there as I'm a Rangers fan from my childhood but in truth I'd rather get Celtic and smack 10 past them :-)
