Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes believes his team can cause a major upset by knocking Burnley out of the Europa League.
The Dons have landed a mouthwatering draw against Sean Dyche's Premier League big guns in the second qualifying round.
McInnes knows his Pittodrie outfit will be major outsiders to topple a Clarets line-up which has had its coffers filled with £120m after ending last season's top-flight campaign in seventh place.
But he is refusing to count the Reds out of a contest which will see them welcome Burnley to the Granite City on July 26 before heading to Turf Moor for the August 2 return.
McInnes, quoted on his club's Twitter page, said: "It's a fantastic draw. We'll be playing against a team that has done exceptionally well in what is regarded as the best league in the world.
"It should be a fabulous contest. There are favourites in every tie and they are seeded for a good reason.
"We know we will be big underdogs for this one but, rest assured, we'll be doing all we possibly can to cause an upset.
"There will be a terrific atmosphere at Pittodrie and I wouldn't be surprised if it's a sell-out."
Aberdeen have featured in Europa League qualifiers over the past four seasons but have yet to reach the group stage of the competition.
Neil Lennon, meanwhile, is refusing to look too far ahead after Wednesday's draw in Nyon.
Hibernian have been drawn against NSI Runavik of the Faroe Islands in the first round of qualifying, with a potential meeting with Asteras Tripolis for the winners.
In Lennon's first games in charge at Easter Road back in 2016, Hibs were knocked out of the second qualifying round by Brondby on penalties.
The manager expects a better showing from his players next season, though, after an impressive return to the Ladbrokes Premiership saw them finish fourth.
"Against Brondby a few years ago it was my first game in charge and we hadn't had much time to prepare, where as with these matches the squad is more settled and we have the experience of those ties to call upon," he told the club's website.
"We'll be up against a side midway through their league season so they'll obviously be well prepared, so it's important we get our work in over the coming weeks to get the fitness levels up and try to get a bit of sharpness for the game."
Lennon does not expect their progression through to the second round of qualifying to be a simple one, however, and has urged his players to focus when their campaign starts on July 12.
"We can't afford to be complacent," he said. "There are always surprises at this time of the season in Europe – lack of sharpness or focus, playing in tough conditions, or a lack of knowledge on the opposition.
"We need to concentrate on the first set of fixtures and get the job done before any thoughts of what comes after.
"The first leg is at home and hopefully we'll see another good turnout at Easter Road; our attendances last season were excellent and we need more of the same for the game against Runavik."
