I know we ain't secured European football yet if at all for next season but let us have a bit of fun but no cheating!!

 

Who would beat us First Round in continental competition then go on and win said trophy??

 

Which beaten team in initial question from same country as above winning side had also knocked us out First Round and were again losing finalists a few years earlier??

Nah, mind blank on this one.

Will look forward to seeing the answer.

 

On a separate point, seeing as you bring up Europe and assuming Celtic beat Hearts, then we would be seeded for QR1 and QR2.

 

SevCo and Killie would be seeded in QR1, Killie unseeded in QR2 and SevCo looking to just miss out on seeding in QR2.

 

There are 8 seeding spots left and we know the following 4 countries will return a higher co-efficient: -

 

EL23 (*) Cro 5.475

EL23 (*) Den 5.405 - 7.500

EL23 (*) Den 5.405

EL3 Sui 5.380 - 18.000

 

That leaves 4 spots.

 

We would definitely take one of the spots if Celtic beat Hearts

EL13 * Sco 4.425 - 5.500

 

If the better teams on paper from Isreal, Slovakia and Romania qualify, it would push SevCo out of the seeding.

 

CW Rom 4.000 - 12.500

CW * Slo 3.750 - 18.500

EL2 * Isr 3.725 - 12.000

EL2 * Rom 3.500 - 23.000

 

There's also a Bulgarian qualifier from QR1 that is seeded to be above SevCo

EL2 Bul 3.500 - 27.000

 

In summary, if all the results are as expected, SevCo get pushed down to the 2nd highest co-efficient unseeded side in QR2.

They need two results unexpected out of the 6 available to get seeded in QR2

 

The 6 teams that can push SevCo out of QR2 seeding: -

 

Ludogorets Razgrad - Bulgaria - 27.00

FCSB Romania - 23.00

NK Maribor Slovakia - 18.50

Astra Giurgiu - Romania - 12.50

Hapoel Beer-Sheva Israel - 12.00

Aberdeen - Scotland 5.50 (Celtic beat Hearts)

 

 

Still some teams to be finalised but we would be seeded to draw one of these teams so far in QR1.

 

Levadia Tallinn Est 3.250

Dunajska Streda Svk 3.125

MFK Ruzomberok Svk 3.125

Torshavn Far 3.000

Chikhura Sachkhere Geo 3.000

Debrecen Hun 3.000

Torpedo Kutaisi Geo 2.750

Milsami Orhei Mol 2.750

Honvéd Budapest Hun 2.500

Flora Tallinn Est 2.500

FK Liepaja Lat 2.500

Cliftonville Nir 2.500

Hibernians FC Mlt 2.500

KR Reykjavik Isl 2.500

Balzan FC Mlt 2.250

Shamrock Rovers Irl 2.250

Siroki Brijeg Bos 2.250

Connah's Quay Wal 1.750

Runavik Far 1.750

St. Patrick's Athletic Irl 1.750

Petrocub Hîncesti Mol 1.550

Inter Turku Fin 1.455

RoPS Rovaniemi Fin 1.455

KuPS Kuopio Fin 1.455

Breidablik Isl 1.450

Stumbras Kaunas Lit 1.350

KI Klaksvik Far 1.250

RFS Riga Lat 1.125

Gzira United Mlt 1.025

Trans Narva Est 1.000

Not Siroki Brijeg again though maybe Balzan of Malta or Chikhura Sachkhere in Georgia for some fun within said sun!!

We play Conah’s Quay in a friendly at the end of June.

I imagine that will be cancelled should we draw them on 19th June.

At least all the Kazak teams are also seeded so no chance of treking to the far east (until the next round at least)

The thing which always gets me about Europe nowadays is that there seems to be a new country entered into the qualifying each season like Kosovo and Gibraltar a year or two ago.  Still can't believe we played Kairat Almaty who were in CENTRAL ASIA!!

Israeli clubs have played in European competition for decades (well they couldn't play in Asian competitions for obvious reasons)

 

Also the vast majority of the former USSR (and now modern day Russia) is in Asia...it has a Pacific Coast and borders China and North Korea! Kazakhstan I think has been granted access to European competition through "grandfather rights" as being part of the former USSR. Doesn't make it right though...

Suppose we should be thankful FC Luch Vladivostok don't play in the Russian Premier League at the moment

What was the answer?

Eintracht Frankfort beat us 2-1 on aggregate First Round of UEFA Cup Season 1979-80 then overcame Borussia Monchengladbach 3-3 in Final on away goals rule.  Seven years earlier Monchengladbach had beat us 9-5 on aggregate First Round of UEFA Cup but lost two legged Final 3-2 to Liverpool.
