ABERDEEN face a mouthwatering Battle of Britain showdown with English rivals Burnley in the Europa League next season.

The Pittodrie club, second in the Ladbrokes Premiership for the fourth year running last season, were drawn to play the Turf Moor outfit in the second qualifying round of the competition this afternoon.

Derek McInnes's side will take on Sean Dyche's team at home on July 26 and then travel to Lancashire for the rematch on August 2.

Burnley secured a European place for the first time in 51 years last season when they finished seventh in the Premier League.
