The club should stick 500K on Aberdeen to win 6M as a saver then.

Those odds will be to win in 90 min. Don't know about Betfair, but on Bet365 Aberdeen are 11/2 to win the trophy.

For our Jambo friends the thread title refers to a large continental land mass east of here.

I take it even if Aberdeen win the cup, do we still get ECL group stage football til Xmas if we go out in the EL Qualifiers? Sorry if already covered.

Nope, we need to qualify.

I remember there was a reply on a thread showing the potential Europa league play of opponents. Anybody got an updated version. Last update had no easy ties to say the least.

Potentially this?

Only a couple on that list to avoid are Braga & PAOK.

The rest of them, when at our best, we would have a decent chance. Particularly early in the season.

Im ever the optimist with Hibs but even I don’t see us beating the majority of the seeded teams over 2 legs. Judging by the lack of green ticks, none ore locked in yet for certain so hopefully an easier team or two make it in.

[DIXIHIBS]

Obviously be great to see Hibs in Europa league group but very tough games even if we can qualify. Maybe conference more realistic and get a couple of wins and a chance of getting through to next stage? Hopefully a couple of decent trips for the fans.

Aye, good shout, so we did.

Just Braga to avoid then.

And Salzburg
And Young Boys
And Midtylland
And Legia
And Sparta
And Anderlecht
And Dynamo
And Sherrif

IMO of course…they almost all have recent champions league experience in at least the playoff round.

That is it yes! Cheers!

Aye tough fixtures there but exciting times, providing Celtic do the business as expected.

Utrecht are a handy side too. 4th in the Eredivise currently.

There are no easy ties at this level really.

That looks a tough list when you consider in the last few years at the same stage Aberdeen were knocked out by BK Hacken of Sweden and Hearts were papped out with a whimper by the bottom side in Switzerland at the time.

If Aberdeen win the cup, we might only get one tie. Is that correct?

No.

If Aberdeen win the cup, we still get a Europa league play off tie, if we lose that we drop down to a conference league qualifying round.

We’ll definitely get two ties in Europe as a minimum now.

Decent wee graphic of what we get if Aberdeen win the cup.

That’s a tough path from QR2! Two, two legged ties won just to earn what is already guaranteed for the SC winner spot.

I’m guessing one of them likely to be against a team from a really low ranking though.

It is tough. Also stars a month earlier which isn't great for players at start of season.

Wish we were in the League Cup groups..








Not

Nice graphic.

Next question(s) - are we seeded for these, and what is the standard of potential opponent for each?

At a complete guess; seeded for the first game against relatively beatable teams, then unseeded going forward and our most probable route would be W-L-L and out.

Knowing our luck we'll get somebody of the level of Aston Vila in the 2nd round.

So just to clear up, do we still have to play a qualifier before going into the Europa? And if we get beat in that we go into the Conference? Just trying to work it all out. Obviously that's assuming Celtic see off Aberdeen in the SC.

It’s making me laugh the frequency these questions are being asked.

Can a message be pinned to a thread, maybe change the title to reflect the routes.

If celtic win we go into the EL playoff. If we progress we are in the EL groups. If we don’t we are in the ECL groups.

If sheep win we have three EL two legged ties to win. If we win them we are in the EL groups. If we lose any of they ties, we go into the next round of two legged ties in the ECL where we can either be put out at any stage or make it into the groups.

So if we lose our initial EL tie we would have two ECL two legged ties to negotiate before reaching the groups.
Etc.

Celtic winning the cup is worth £5m extra revenue and about £4m profit. Guaranteed 4 ties in Europe so 4 away trips.

Absolutely massive. Football is a funny game so let hope for no surprises.
