Crues to face Ludogorets in the first round qualifier of Champions League
Tough challenge ahead for Stephen Baxter's side
Crusaders have been handed a tough opener in their Champions League first round qualifier.
They will face Bulgarian champions, Ludogorets, who have topped their league every season since 2011.
It is a vital money spinner for the Crues because even if they go out at the first stage they will still pocket an estimated £700,000.
Stephen Baxter's side will travel to Bulgaria for the first leg on either July 10 or 11 with the return tie at Seaview a week later.
The Europa League draw's tomorrow with Coleraine, Glenavon and Cliftonville all in the hat.
