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 ÂŁ700,000.
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.
