It's the picturesque city of Bruges for Killie as they make their return to the European stage.
The reward for Kilmarnock 's fourth placed finish last season is a tasty Euro tie with Cercle Bruges.
Derek McInnes ' side were one of the surprise stories of the season as they booked a return to continental competition. And they now face a trip to Bruges after the Europa League second qualifying round draw drew them with the Belgians. Kille knew beforehand that they could only play one of five seeded sides from Group 1. These also included Ajax , Molde FK , SK Rapid Wien and Trabzonspor .
Killie will now face Cercle at home on Thursday 25 July after coming out of the hat first before the return leg at Jan Breydel Stadium a week later. Cercle finished fifth in the Belgian pro League last season, then fourth in the championship playoff round, securing their spot in the qualifiers. They feature former Ross County loanee Kazeem Olaigbe in their squad.
