Is there any danger we could get St Johnstone?

Draw for round after is 19th July . Understandable since it`s on 5th and 12th August . League starts on 31st July ( 1st August for us I suppose ) .

Have last 2 weeks of July as holidays, with nothing yet booked, so hopeful of a good Euro trip option, pandemic permitting (have had both vaccines ).

Not relevant to us any more, but Villarreal completely blew it against Real Madrid in the last five minutes of their La Liga game this evening. Conceded two late goals to lose 2-1 and drop out of the Europa League places in Spain. This means that there almost certainly won't be automatic group stage European football for St Johnstone (and similarly wouldn't have been for us had we won today).

Not much consolation for us obviously, but maybe just a little.

[Green Man]

While I’d obviously have preferred to be looking at the Europa League ties, the ECL at least gives us a wider range of potential opponents, and the opportunity to pore over the closing stages of far flung European leagues to see who else has qualified.

How many rounds from the group are we now and are we likely to be seeded at all?

I could be wrong but I don’t think today’s draw effects what happens in Europe for us now.

We enter at the 2nd qualifying round, there's then the 3rd qualifying round and the play off round and then the group stages.

Haven’t been following this too closely, so excuse my ignorance but this is for Europa league yeah? Should we get knocked out here, no scope for ECL?

We would have to win three rounds to make the group stage, 2nd, 3rd and play off.

We will be seeded in the 2nd round draw.

After watching that today I don't think I'll be having any sleepless nights thinking about our forthcoming Euro adventure.

Same... :(

[hibee62]

Thanks all, so best we can hope for is a round or two, but unlikely to make the groups. The best thing to come from third is probably a bye in the league cup!

So no difference as far as Europe is concerned between us finishing 3rd and the Sheep finishing 4th?
Unless we are seeded and the Sheep are not. (Cue jokes about seeding sheep.)

Thanks Billy that is very clear.
2nd round should be easy enough but ramping up after that.
Suspect if we reach the play off round we would meet a big team dropping from a tournament above so unlikely to make it over the final hurdle.
However, as always fingers crossed that the draw is kind and we take our chance if there is one to reach the group stages.

Not being seeded in Q3 could play into our favour here.

Assuming the play off is drawn before Q3 is finished then we'd have the higher coefficient of our opponents in Q3 in the draw for the play-off which would increase the likelihood of being seeded.

Would still require an upset in the form of us beating a seeded team in Q3, but it would not be impossible - there are some big upsets every year in the qualifying rounds.

below are the teams we could play in Q3 - to be seeded in the play-off we would likely need to draw one of the teams with a coefficient of 17 or higher.

There’s a couple of very winnable games in the teams higher up that list. It looks to me as if the playoff round will be at a similar level to the 3rd round of the Europa League in the old set up where we played Molde last time around.

With some decent luck in the draws there’s no reason we can’t be looking to make the group stage

Hope Chelsea absolutely pump Villa today so there's no chance of St Johnstone getting group stage football.
