Not really, just the logistics of the draw. If Aberdeen win vs sporting they assume their seeding, much like we did when we beat Maribor

 

[VGM]

Hope we avoid spurs

 

[brain]

Sporting Lisbon are seeded. If Aberdeen beat a seeded team, they take their place for the draw. AC Milan aren't seeded because they've haven't earned enough coefficient points in the last 5 years to be seeded. Not controversial.

Sure the same happened with us against Maribor

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

Probably been answered before, but why are the draws all happening before the next round of games have been played?

 

[Gazza no8]

Spurs , Galatasaray , Standard , Apoel are the teams we could possibly get

 

[waltersgotstyle]

Looks like a tough ask this year

 

[MarkD87]

That's a tough group.
Hope to avoid Spurs, it'd also be good to avoid Galatasarsay.

 

[sregnar]

It’s 1pm

 

[Rab_bear]

1 Galatasaray (TUR) / Hajduk Split (CRO)
2 Shkëndija (MKD) / Tottenham (ENG)
3 Standard Liège (BEL) / Vojvodina (SRB)
4 APOEL (CYP) / Zrinjski (BIH)

Possible opponents

 

[Mols9]

Tough group of teams. Hope for a home draw.

 

[coplandrearl36]

Spurs , Galatasaray , Standard , Apoel are the teams we could possibly get

Have the mini groups been announced

Ok see it now.

I’m not a fan of seeded / unseeded teams, however it’s only when you see something like this you can see how far AC have fallen in recent years, especially with the Italian coefficient under their belt.

Fingers crossed we get through our tie on Thursday and can continue to repair the damage to our co-efficient. It’ll not be an easy game, but we’ve been to far more difficult places in the last 2 years and got results.

 

[Delboy Trotter]

Looks to be tougher this year for us given the mini group we have

That said, Standard or APOEL I’d fancy our chances

 

[Hugo Baws]

Anyone at home. Apart from Spurs there is some hellish travelling there.

 

[ssblue]

Anyone at home. Apart from Spurs there is some hellish travelling there.

Aye Liege would be a horrendous 90 minute flight.

 

[jierobinson92]

Home tie gives us a great chance, I’m sure we have to be one of the hardest ties for a seeded team to get, doubt many of they teams would fancy a play off one legged tie at Ibrox, send them on

 

[Gaz030191]

Probably been answered before, but why are the draws all happening before the next round of games have been played?

I actually don't know, but I've always assumed it's to give teams more time to prepare for whatever team they have visiting.

As the draw has been made, the second the Willem game is Over, rangers would be able to start looking on the next game as we'd know the opponents rather than wait for a draw. Which on a non pandemic year allows etc time for travel arrangements, stadium security for fans etc.

 

[Hugo Baws]

Aye Liege would be a horrendous 90 minute flight.

Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Cyprus smart arse

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

That's a tough group.
Hope to avoid Spurs, it'd also be good to avoid Galatasarsay.

They finished 6th last year.

At home we could take them.

 

[High Society]

Home tie gives us a great chance, I’m sure we have to be one of the hardest ties for a seeded team to get, doubt many of they teams would fancy a play off one legged tie at Ibrox, send them on

i’m always more worried about winning my next game than possible opponents.....

 

[TamS-RFC]

I genuinely believe if we drew spurs we could beat them.

Folk need to remember teams will be looking at us as a team they'd hope not to get

 

[Stevethebluenose90]

Anyone at home except Spurs please.

 

[ssblue]

Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Cyprus smart arse

Touchy.

So apart from Spurs AND Liege then.

 

[Rooster]

Spurs would be a huge ask, especially if they get Bale in.
Galatasary would also be best avoided.
Tough section

 

[Bangersbc]

i’m always more worried about winning my next game than possible opponents.....

Quite right!

I was just glad the other Scots scraped through last night. I don't give two hoots for their clubs or fans, but Motherwell going out would have hit our coefficient in a year where it already seems like it could be a low scoring year. Aberdeen are stuffed in the next round, but 'Well could just scrape through in Isreal and I really hope they can if i'm honest. Even found myself celebrating Carson's penalty saves last night! Haha

Willem are a good team. And there would be no shame in going out to them. They deserve respect from the fans and we can't assume we will progress. That said, I hope the team show them no respect and treat them like the spfl fodder are just now and play our game how we like it.

 

[George Agdgdgwngo]

Hope we get Spurs. We always rise to the occasion against the big teams. Reckon we could get to them.

 

[hunter1rfc]

Avoid all of those away from home imo hopefully

 

[Hugo Baws]

Touchy.

So apart from Spurs AND Liege then.

No sarcasm .

Anyone apart from Spurs.

In fact any of them at Home, Spurs included.

 

[First Touch In Europe]

Spurs , Galatasaray , Standard , Apoel are the teams we could possibly get

That's not yet true.

 

[Wazza]

Aye Liege would be a horrendous 90 minute flight.

Istanbul is probably a more relaxing trip than Liège as well now by plane. Split not that hard either.

 

[Partickger]

To be fair, we’ve benefitted from knocking a seed out and taking their draw. Let’s face it, the sheep aren’t getting past Sporting Lisbon!

 

[Partickger]

1 Galatasaray (TUR) / Hajduk Split (CRO)
2 Shkëndija (MKD) / Tottenham (ENG)
3 Standard Liège (BEL) / Vojvodina (SRB)
4 APOEL (CYP) / Zrinjski (BIH)

Possible opponents

3 or 4 at home would be easier than our game next week.

 

[AdiCR2]

Aye Liege would be a horrendous 90 minute flight.

Ha, its just as quick flying to Belgium than it is driving to Easter Road for the team bus.

 

[bobally]

Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Cyprus smart arse

Glasgow to Split is around 2.5 hours max. Not exactly a chore to get there. I would love a game v Hajduk

 

[Grampian Bear]

I dont care who we get as long as we get past Willem II and get there , I'd be happy with any of them at home but is it much of an advantage without the crowd.
A "battle of Britain" tie against Spurs would be exciting although would be disappointing if we did draw them way and us fans didn't get the chance to visit their new stadium.

 

[Modfella]

Would these be one or two leg ties?

 

[VGM]

Would these be one or two leg ties?

One

 

[Tugay83]

Probably been answered before, but why are the draws all happening before the next round of games have been played?

Think it's just to give teams time to prepare for the potential trip.

 

[sregnar]

Would these be one or two leg ties?

For the 394737272 time. 1 leg

 

[ScottXC]

Is Spurs season getting recorded for their show?........

 

[Bakubear]

Is Spurs season getting recorded for their show?........

Think i read "The Special One" was happy that finished ?
Did enjoy the program but yet to watch the Man City game

 

[Keyser_Soze]

Id take any at home.

Who do the other Scottish teams possibly face?

 

[ssblue]

For the 394737272 time. 1 leg

You sure?

 

[Wade Wilson]

1 Galatasaray (TUR) / Hajduk Split (CRO)
2 Shkëndija (MKD) / Tottenham (ENG)
3 Standard Liège (BEL) / Vojvodina (SRB)
4 APOEL (CYP) / Zrinjski (BIH)

Possible opponents

Not the easiest grouping, but anyone from 3/4 would be welcome.

Then again, if we can get an actual home tie for a change, I'd take anyone.

 

[Wade Wilson]

Id take any at home.

Who do the other Scottish teams possibly face?

Mhanks

Dynamo Brest (BLR)
Red Star Belgrade (SRB)
Ludogorets (BUL)
Sarajevo (BIH) / Budućnost Podgorica (MNE)
Ararat-Armenia (ARM) / Celje (SVN)

Sheep

LASK (AUT) / Dunajská Streda (SVK)
Rijeka (CRO) / Kolos Kovalivka (UKR)
Rosenborg (NOR) / Alanyaspor (TUR)

Motherwell


Basel (SUI) / Anorthosis (CYP)
Viktoria Plzeň (CZE) / SønderjyskE (DEN)
Beşiktaş (TUR) / Rio Ave (POR)

 

[Edmond Dantes]

We can take spurs in a one off game

 

[kMac1]

To be fair, we’ve benefitted from knocking a seed out and taking their draw. Let’s face it, the sheep aren’t getting past Sporting Lisbon!

Sporting have 8 players in quarantine plus their manager and coach I believe. Had to cancel their friendly fixtures at the weekend. Could be a massive leveller for the sheep.
