Updated projected pots for Conference League

7-8 points done the job this season. I don’t think it’s remotely beyond our ability to get through the groups (although let’s confirm getting there first 😂 )

Totally brilliant mate 🤣 Call me crazy, but I’ve just gone and booked hotel for the final tonight based on that. Going to get expensive closer to the date ..

If Hibs get AC/DC in the draw then, totally sorted home and away. Can use my bus pass to both.

Heard someone say after the game today we can’t finish any lower than fourth now.

Am I right in saying that’s not correct, I know the numbers get complicated slightly by the fact teams all play each other but I think we could still technically finish 5th?

Not sure about technically but there's no chance United are finishing above us now. We're effectively 7 points ahead of them with 3 games to play, they're not winning all 3 games.

I think you’re correct that we can still finish 5th.

Hibs pick up 0 points take us to 56pts
Aberdeen beat old firm takes them to 59pts
Dundee United win all three games = 59pts

Yup, pretty much this. And one of the games they play the Sheep…a nice head to head where one or both will lose points. :agree:

I second this. My favourite light reading these last few weeks :)

Today’s the first day it feels really close to happening for me.

How does the draw work? There’s only 6 pots but you also play 6 games.

Nice one bingo70.

Trips to Rome (Lazio), Vienna (Rapid) & Pamplona (Osasuna) would be tremendous.

After today, I'm getting a wee bit excited, but not carried away.

If Hibs manage to get stages in Europe - reckon tickets will be gold dust for home and away games. Important to get a Season ticket to at least get a chance to see the games.

You play one team from each pot including your own

Now take the same situation but we both need the point to qualify. Our own co-owners would be willing us to loose.

Easy draw no 😂

Forgive my naivety but what’s the script if we finish third? Is it Europa League playoff qualifier and at the minimum group stage Conference League football?

And how would Aberdeen winning the cup affect that?

I'm still confused as to what happens in that scenario or what happens If we finish outside the top 3? I'm sure it's been explained to me several times 😅

You are correct.

If Aberdeen win the cup we’d go into the Europa league 2nd qualifying round.
If we lose in the qualifiers you drop into the next stage of the conference qualifiers.

So if we finish 3rd and Aberdeen win the cup, we’d still have two chances to try and get group stage football. Europa league and then down to the conference league?

If we finish third and Celtic win the cup we have one attempt to get into the Europa league but if we lose we drop down to the conference league group stages?

Spot on, aye.

If Aberdeen win the Cup we'd need to win Europa League second qualifying round, third qualifying round and then the play off round. So six games. Lose any of those and you drop down into the relevant Conference League qualification stage.

Celtic win the Cup we enter at the Europa League play-off round. So a two leg tie. Lose that and it's Conference League group stages.

Yep.
In the example where Aberdeen win the cup we’d have -
2nd Q round
3rd Q round
Playoff

To get to group stages.

But say we got beat in the Europa league 3rd qualifying round, we’d go into the conference league playoff.

My understanding if we finish 5th.

We go into the Conference League qualifying stages, the lower rated European competition.

Likely have to play in three ties. 2 qualifying rounds and a play-off round. My hunch is that if we finish 5th it is highly unlikely we will get through to the League phase proper as in the play-off round we will come across a biggie, it was Aston Villa last time we tried to get to the League stage. If we lose this play-off round we are out. If we manage to get through to the Conference League phase we have 6 European games until Christmas.

Finish 4th we are in the Europa League. A couple of qualifying rounds and a play-off round. Highly unlikely to get through, with no fall into the Conference League if we lose any tie.

So we have to finish 3rd and Celtic win the cup for guaranteed European games until Christmas. In doing this we qualify for the Europa League and straight into a play-off round. Win this, we are in the Europa League phase proper with 8 games against some serious opposition. We may be out of our depth. Lose the Europa League play-off round we drop into the Conference League the 6 games until Christmas. Conference League games are more winable with a chance of a knock out tie over two legs after Christmas. Do this we can fill in the corners at Easter Road and install a helipad. :greengrin

3rd place (Aberdeen win cup) - 2nd qualifying round Europa league
3rd Place (Celtic win cup) Europa play off

4th place - 2nd qualifying round Europa league
Unless Aberdeen win the cup and come 5th. Then 4th would be 2nd qualifying round of Conference league
