Motherwell obviously in the draw but it is interesting to see that the lowest ranking we could be in the 3rd round is 32nd seeds if we go by coefficient (not sure whether that would see us being seeded)

Wonder why they dont draw both rounds now rather than only knowing a couple of weeks prior to the game. At least we would know who we are likely to play and whether home or away first. 2 weeks notice for a European game isnt good enough IMO.

that would mean drawing three rounds today, which wouldnt be possible.

for the second round it is just one or, but imagine the confusion if it came out as ;

... or ... or ... vs ... or ... or ...

Motherwell off to Iceland for their Euro jaunts... Breidablik with a co-efficient of 1.083. Looks like the Mothers will be in the next round
