Not long now until we find out who we've got in the third qualifying round for the Europa League.  I'm sure someone on here will be able to tell me if this is accurate or not, but according to today's Herald the teams we could draw are:

 

Larissa (Greece)

Elfsborg (Sweden)

Young Boys Berne (Switzerland)

Gent (Belgium)

Valerenga (Norway)

Legia Warsaw (Poland)

IFK Gothenburg (Sweden)

Sturm Graz (Austria)

Derry City (Ireland)

Hajduk Split (Croatia)

 

I'm not sure if this is just some of the teams we could get or if it will definitely be one of those listed above. There are some tricky ties in there I have to say. Wouldn't be a very exciting tie, but I'd have to go for Derry City out of that lot.

Correct

 

Are you completely sure about that?

 

I'm almost positive that the centenary book says it was the SFA who decided?

 

Where's Al when you need him? i'm sure he'll remember reading the papers about it back then

We're in group 5?

This mean we can only draw the following?

 

IF Elfsborg (SWE) - Haladás FC (HUN)

SK Sigma Olomouc (CZE) - Fram Reykjavík (ISL)

FBK Kaunas (LTU) - FK Sevojno (SRB)

HNK Hajduk Split (CRO)

FK Rabotnicki (MKD) - Crusaders FC (NIR)

 

Hadjuk Split 

 

Ouch ya fucker, dinnae fancy that one.

FBK Kaunas, chance to put one over Romanov

FK Rabotnicki (MKD) - Crusaders FC (NIR)

 

 

Without saying we'll get a sniff of getting through, that could have been worse.

Just back off my holidays Dave

By rights AFC should have represented Scotland in the inaugural competition, but it was by invitation back then and the SFA gave the invite to the HIV's despite them having only finished fifth in the league a distant fifteen points behind us

Elfsborg 3 - Haladas 0

Sigma Olomouc 1 - Fram Rejkavik 1

FBK Kaunas 0 - Sevojno 0

Rabotniki - 1 Crusaders 1

 

By the looks of it the only team we can rule out is Haladas.

 

(They're going to win 4-0 at home now aren't they??)

Olomouc or Crusaders is the way forward, followed by Odense!

I reckon it's curtains if we draw Hajduk, Elfsborg or Kaunus.

No Olomouc please! I don't want my favourite retreat invaded!

I'd be happy if it wasn't them too, I'd be gutted to miss a trip like that.

I take it the draw will be live on the uefa website? There's no mention or link to it from the bbc fitba 'europe' section, only a mention of celtic and some other teams waiting for their CL draw.

 

I'm surprised there's no mention of it, since there are some EPL teams entering at this stage aren't there?
