If Celtic beat Motherwell next week in the cup.

How good a feeling would this be!

How's all likely to be digging out the passports?

**Mixu62** · 10-05-2018 03:02 AM

Mathematically we can still get 3rd if we pump sevco 6-0. Just play all strikers on Sunday?!!

**Big_Franck** · 10-05-2018 06:29 AM

Can't wait for our European trip. Hopefully get another scandinavian team.

***PatHead*** · 10-05-2018 06:55 AM

Hopefully digging out our passports for the 12th or 19th of July. Hope Motherwell get gunned.

Anyone know if its regionalised for the first round draw? I know Tommy Wright and the Saints chairman were moaning a couple of seasons back as they had a 6000 mile round-trip. Don't know if anythings changed since?

I dont think it is. Certainly not according to the wikipedia entry for 18-19 europa league qualification. Could be anywhere from Ireland to Armenia.

It's not regionalised.

Are these the dates? Don’t want to jinx it but I’ll need to apply for the time off sooner rather than later

Hopefully get somewhere hot. Croatia, Greece, Cyprus etc would be good.

**Michael** · 10-05-2018 09:41 AM

Bit premature. Would be typical if Motherwell won it now.

I think it’s Slim to no chance. Celtic will want two trebles on the bounce more than Motherwell want the cup.

Plus Celtc are a better team

**Glory Lurker** · 10-05-2018 04:08 PM

Cup Final's well spoiled for me now. Obviously want Celtc to win now, but can't see myself watching it and cheering them on. Expect I'll go out between 3 and 5 and just hope I come back in to the right result.

Stick a wedge on it then. Will pay for a holiday anyway!

Agreed. Mince 👎

**jodjam** · 10-05-2018 07:18 PM

And the added benefit of not playing in League Cup group stages

**Albanian Hibs** · 10-05-2018 07:41 PM

I will be on holiday 3rd to 17th July 🙄

If Motherwell get a result it will be the upset of the decade IMHO.

Yes, as per Uefa site.

**Big_Franck** · 15-05-2018 08:20 AM

Provided Celtc win the cup on Saturday it looks like we'll be seeded for the 1st Qualifying round if this guy's info is correct. I'm sure he's done these kind of lists before and they've been accurate.

https://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/seedel2018.html

Our UEFA coefficient is 3725 according to this (we are 267th in the list) which would mean we'd be seeded for the 1st round.

Should give us a decent chance of getting to Qualifying round 2, where teams like Sevilla, Burnley, Lech Poznan and probably AC Milan and RB Leipzig will be possible opponents.

Fancy our chances against Burnley 😁

100% going no matter where it is, been saving since September, the wife wants to come but I'll see how shes been behaving nearer the time.

**~~Captain Trips~~** · 15-05-2018 08:40 AM

I'm keeping the powder dry on this. Celtic really should win but Motherwell are a danger on the day and them winning would not surprise me.

I don't like it but I hope Celtic do it.

**Dunfyhibee** · 15-05-2018 08:41 AM

IF Celtic win the cup, does being seeded mean we will be away in the first leg?

**Mick O'Rourke** · 15-05-2018 08:57 AM

Stranger things have happened in Cup Finals.
Favourites losing.
Celtic V Plastic Whistle springs to mind.
However,the chance to "sweep the board" 2 seasons running could be no more incentive for Celtic.
Any other circumstance i would wish the underdog good luck.
But not this time.

Some line up of possible opponents that is.

A few days Sunning in Seville would be good (if i could go)
Av been tae Burnley !
It had good boozers though and if i remember correctly Hibs/Hearts select used to play them pre season back in the day.
Well back ! 50s/60s/
