Their opponents beat Partizan 9-2 on aggregate to set up the tie and will host the first leg on August 6 in Poland, due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Philippe Clement's side will return to Glasgow on August 13, with the home tie at Hampden Park due to their Ibrox stadium not being ready for the start of the season.
