Not 100% sure.Quote:

Some potentially epic trips in the Europa League. Might be a few tankings mind.
I don't expect Hibs to do anything in Europe realistically, and I almost don't care either, I'm just delighted that we've got trips to look forward to and, like everyone, I'm hoping for straightforward journeys.
Bring it on!
Why not? Hearts should have qualified from the group phase but failed to beat the bottom team, Petrocub, at Tynecastle. The team that pipped them had 7 point from 6 games with a -3 gial difference. 24 teams out of 36 go through to the knockout phase. Not unrealistic to think we could get through (assuming Celtic win the cup).Quote:

Please Celtic do not mess this up!!
It's possible, and I hope we do, but I don't expect we will.Quote:

“ There will be UEFA competition football in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean next season!
Promoted Santa Clara from the Azores islands, which are 1,500km from Lisbon, have finished fifth in the Primeira Liga and will now go into the UEFA Conference League qualifying rounds!”
Would be an interesting away day.
Had a Quick Look on sky scanner and looks like a hell of a place to get to.
Azores airlines from Lisbon, Porto and Faro amongst others.Quote:

Some of the seeded Europa league teams, not many good or glamorous fixtures there by the looks of it.
Think we could give Noah a game. That 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 formation's vulnerable.Quote:

Na no benefit at allQuote:

Wouldn't bother really - no point as we are getting pumped anyway [emoji6]Quote:

If we beat a seeded team in the Europa 2nd round qualifier do we take their seeding in the next round?
Definitely if it’s Braga, the rest still to be confirmedQuote:

If you beat a team with a higher coefficient, you carry forward their coefficient to the next round. While their coefficient may have made them a seed in the earlier round, it won't necessarily be high enough to make them a seed in the later round. That's why it's not yet possible to say exactly which clubs we could beat to be seeded in Q3.Quote:
