That's almost as good as Hearts' special relationship with the Champions League

Or the Betfred Cup, which they have won* loads of times since 1962

*sorry, I mis-spoke. I meant "haven't won"

Your coefficient doesn't affect what round you enter at, just how you're treated in the draw.

They have the highest coefficient in the competition by an absolute mile.

Think it is a bit ridiculous though. I would be a bit miffed if I supported them.

Wonder how many supporters of the other teams are looking at us and thinking, hope we get them in the draw.

Aalkmar or bucharest would be ideal as both ties are winnable, with a bit of luck, and both have a high enough co-efficient so that we would then be seeded for the play-off round.

Drawing either of those teams is probably our best feasible chance of making the group stages, as I don't fancy going into the play-off round unseeded.

Rapid Vienne or Molde could potentially be a slightly easier game, but would leave us unseeded if we progressed to the play-offs.

The 5 minute count down has started to the draw. What an exciting time to be a Hibs fan.

I've just had a look at Sevillas squad. Just wow. Correa, Banega, Ben Yedder just off the top of my head some of the best players in Europe.

[Since90+2]

Got a feeling it's going to be Rapid Vienna.

Countdown is on

40 seconds away

Aye, but players like Mercado looked a bit dodgy at the back for Argentina in the WC. Martin Boyle will tear him a new one!

You forgot N'Zonzi, Navas, Correa and Muriel as well

[Leith Green]

Take it home or away leg will be established today ?

Think about it in a Scottish context though. If we finished 2nd and Celtic finished 4th, would you think it was right that they skipped a couple of qualifiers and went in to the competition later than us?

Aye. As someone else said though the exact dates are subject to change if for example Celtic are due to play AEK Athens and Sevco get Olympiacos on the same Thursday. You'd think they'd want to keep those animals apart.

If Celtic play AEK it will be in the Champions League and not played on a Thursday!

[Diclonius]

Molde. Decent.

[Bam]

First out of the pot! Molde

[SteveHFC]

Molde or Albania in the next round.

Winnable tie.

[Hibernian Verse]

Superb!

[Springbank]

Are we actually getting a wee bit spawny, here?

Mon the Hibees!

[marinello59]

Great draw.

That's what the fans of Tripolis are thinking.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Molde will be half way through their season. Very tough.

[Frazerbob]

£10 pints!

[Albanian Hibs]

'Mon the Albanian team 😀

Good point. Focus needs to be on Thursday now.

[Fergus52]

Definitely one of the easier ties we could have faced, but also means we will definitely be unseeded for the play off round now, so if we get through we will likely have to play besiktas, zenit, olympiakos, fiorentina or a team like that.

[Ozyhibby]

Fantastic. Still be difficult beating the Greek team but it gives us a chance. Always said the draw will need to be kind but we have a chance.

I'm surprised at the positive reaction to be honest.

Don't know too much about them but we've not exactly done well against teams like that recently.

Will they not be pretty comparable to the likes of Malmo? (realise they're different countries)
