Brutal. 

Braga probably the best one to get there. 

Hearts beat Braga to qualify for the old-style UEFA Cup groups in 2004/05.

I would be reasonably happy with any of those except Zenit. There's no redeeming feature to playing them. Hard to get to (visa at short notice, etc) and guaranteed an absolute pumping, based on what they did to Celtic last season. There's arguments against all of the others. Olympiacos have a massive pedigree, but they were a bit of a mess last year (e.g. Asteras drew with them twice) and that's why they're now in the Europa.

The best opponent, in the sense of the lowest ranked team according to UEFA, would be Trencin from Slovakia, who are facing Feyenoord.

The winner of Hibs-Molde will be paired up with either:

 

Dinamo Minsk/Zenit

Olympiacos/Luzern

Genk/Lech Poznan

Zorya Luhansk/Braga

Trencin/Feyenoord

'Mon the Dinamo Minsk.

Probably a forlorn hope. They lost 2-1 at home to Derry City this season (won 3-2 on aggregate) and only beat Runavik 4-1 over two games last year. Stevie Mallan scored four against them by himself FFS.

Some seriously dodgy stuff going on here. How did bookmaker Marathon Bet know who we'd draw an hour before the draw was made, and why did they promptly delete the tweet?

There was only five pairings Hibs could draw, so the innocent explanation is that they had were writing tweets to save in their drafts but accidentally tweeted one.
