Very much unseeded. The seedings are mostly based on a club's indivdual performance with a 20% baseline from the country rankings.

I don’t know why but that’s quite a disappointing list imo. Only a small handful of teams in there I’d be excited about going away to so the chances of drawing them for an away tie are slim.
Hopefully some movement in other leagues. Mallorca qualifying would be nice, Hibs away in Magaluf :greengrin
Based on those pots it would be possible to get
Lazio
Panathenaikos
Poznan
Bournemouth
Brondby
Some ties in there
if you are wondering about where we finish and what it brings us - get yer head round this !

So that means 3rd in league (Celtic win cup) =
Europa League play off game, if we lose that entry to Conference league group stage
3rd in league Dons win cup =
Europa LeagueEL-Q2 round, if we lose that entry to Conference league Q3 round
4th in league cup winners irrelevant =
Europa LeagueEL-Q2 round, if we lose that entry to Conference league Q3 round
5th in league cup winner Celtic =
Entry to Conference league Q2 round
I THINK!!!!
Some possible doings as well. La2io and Bournemouth would give me the fear to be honest. If we make the group stages of either competition the downside will be the strain playing these games will put on our squad, there's no doubt St Mirren, Killie and Hearts all suffered as a result. I've already seen folk talking about some of our players looking 'leggy' in the last few games and that's on the back of a season with no European football and no long run in either cup.
It is what it is though and doings and knackered players aside, it would be great to see this club finally make a European group stage.
Drawing an Israeli club might be interesting. 👀
Not exact but nearly. :greengrin
4th in league, cup winner isn't irrelevant.
If we are 4th and the Dons are 3rd, the ranking is Celtc - Huns - Dons - Us - Utd, whoever wins the cup.
If we are 4th, the Dons win the cup and United are 3rd (unlikely), then the ranking is Celtc - Huns - Dons - Utd - Us
If we are 4th, Celtc win the cup and United are 3rd, it's Celtc - Huns - Utd - Us - Dons
If we are 5th the cup winner is irrelevant.
The international team have been playing in Hungary but we're still waiting to hear where the Scotland game in September will be played. There's also been no fans at their games, although the SFA are trying to get some Scotland fans to the game, wherever it's played. Hearts played Dynamo Minsk in Azerbaijan. Not many countries are pally with Belarus at the moment so options are limited.
I'd love to get back to Minsk.....one of my favourite Scotland away trips ever.
If Bournemouth and Hibs both qualify, I'm assuming there will be changes that need to be made re BKFC?
Judging by what happened with Man City/Girona and Man City/Nice this year, it looks like Foley and Caswell would need to resign from our board, we couldn't transfer players between the two clubs and we couldn't share data through player databases, etc.
