Motherwell will play in next season's Europa League after being awarded a Fair Play place by the Scottish Football Association.
Scottish Premier League rivals St Mirren were also in the running.
Well finished second behind Celtic in the Scottish Fair Play League, but the Glasgow club had already qualified for the Champions League.
The Fir Park side will enter the Europa League at the first qualifying round on 2 and 9 July.
It will be the second year running that Motherwell have played in European competition, having qualified for the Uefa Cup last season after finishing third.

This time, they were seventh but have benefitted from Scotland finishing third in the Uefa Fair Play system behind Norway and Denmark.
One club from each country has won a slot in the new Europa League format, which replaces the Uefa Cup, thanks to them leading the rankings based on a points system correlating to the number of red and yellow cards administered to each club and national side in Uefa over a 12-month period.
Scottish FA chief executive Gordon Smith said: "My congratulations go to Motherwell and I wish them all the best for their European adventure next season.
"Getting into Europe shows what can be achieved when the game is played in the right manner.
"It is a lesson to everyone who plays the game and the whole country can be proud of this achievement.
"It is now down to all six of our teams who play in Europe next season to do well and to keep on pushing our co-efficient in the right direction.
"We can all look forward to the year ahead with a real sense of excitement."
