Aston Villa to meet Hibs in Europa Conference League playoff

Aston Villa will meet Hibs in their Europa Conference League playoff.

Hibs reach the tie after overcoming Luzern of Switzerland in their qualifier.

A 2-2 draw in Switzerland on Thursday night saw the Scots win the tie 5-3 on aggregate.

"It isn't great for the heartstrings is it, when we conceded to make it 2-1. I just thank Martin Boyle for keeping me alive with that goal," Hibs manager Lee Johnson told BBC Scotland.

"Let's make no mistake, they're a really top side; they've got some fantastic ball manipulators.

"They move it, they're busy, they're bright, but when we broke over the two legs, we looked really dangerous."
