Blackburn set to face MyPa

Blackburn have been drawn to face Finnish side MyPa in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Cup, with a place in the draw for the first round proper at stake.

Mark Hughes' side reached this stage of the competition by beating Lithuanian side FK Vetra 6-0 on aggregate in the Intertoto Cup.

MyPa are fourth in their domestic top flight and have conquered Motherwell and Dundee United in past European campaigns.

Tennent's Scottish Cup runners-up Dunfermline take on BK Hacken of Sweden as they prepare for life outside the Scottish top flight.

Eircom League side Drogheda's reward for beating San Marino side Libertas in the first qualifying round is a tie against Swedish club Helsingborgs, where former Celtic, Barcelona and Manchester United star Henrik Larsson plays his football.

The ties will be played on August 16 and 30.
