Hearts face tough tie with Dinamo Zagreb



Hearts will face a tricky tie against Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb to reach the Europa League proper.



Dinamo took their place in the draw after dropping out of the Champions League when they lost 3-2 on aggregate to Austrian outfit Red Bull Salzburg.



Hearts manager Csaba Laszlo said: "They are a very famous club. But with the right preparation it is a game I believe we can win."



The Jambos will travel to Zagreb's Maksimir Stadium for the first leg on August 20, with the return match a week later.



The Tynecastle side had been unseeded for the draw and avoided Everton, Germany's Werder Bremen, Dutch side Heerenveen or Litex Lovech of Bulgaria.



Hearts are the last-remaining Scottish side in Europa League qualifying.



Falkirk lost in the second round, while Aberdeen and Motherwell were knocked out on Thursday.



The Dons suffered an 8-1 aggregate defeat to Sigma Olomouc, the worst by a Scottish side in Europe since 1960.



Motherwell lost 6-1 on aggregate to Steau Bucharest, while the Bairns were knocked out in the previous round by Vaduz, the Liechtenstein-based side who had been relegated from the Swiss top flight.
