der Berliner 3,286 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) The goal Garner scored at Firhill essentially confirmed that we will be back in Europe next season, even though 3rd place ain't cast into stone just yet. But since the Yahoos and Aberdeen will fight it out for the SFA Cup, the fourth placed team will also play in Europe. To wet the appetite for silverware, the Light Blues will enjoy the scenic route to silverware, which starts on June 29th. Here are the qualification rounds and possible dates: 19/06/17: First and second qualifying round draws 29/06/17: First qualifying round, first leg 06/07/17: First qualifying round, second leg 13/07/17: Second qualifying round, first leg 20/07/17: Second qualifying round, second leg 14/07/17: Third qualifying round draw 27/07/17: Third qualifying round, first leg 03/08/17: Third qualifying round, second leg 04/08/17: Play-off draw 17/08/17: Play-off round, first leg 24/08/17: Play-off round, second leg Edited May 10, 2017 by der Berliner Dates changed 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Cannot wait for that first away trip! It's been the biggest loss to me of the six years. Pre season friendly trips are good but it's not the same 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Cannot wait for that first away trip! It's been the biggest loss to me of the six years. Pre season friendly trips are good but it's not the same Completely agree! It's the loss of Euro ties that I've missed the most. Being in the prem league again was a great milestone, but Europe is what gets the juices flowing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,677 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Perplexing that Garner is our greatest aerial threat though i'm not complaining if he keeps doing that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Europa League: Second qualifying round, second leg is on 20 July. The Third Qualifying Round draw is on the 14th of July. dB has the dates round the wrong way. Edited May 9, 2017 by BrahimHemdani 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,677 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I'm guessing Pedro grasps the vital importance of this. I read a few years or so ago that a run into the Europa league group stage even if finishing last in the group was worth an average minimum £8 million or so thus i'm guessing it's worth even more now. Enough to propel us comfortably ahead of the rest at this point while Ashley still bleeds us dry on other fronts. It's probably more money than the value of the entire squad right now. We really need it and it's going to be my entire focus and probably obsession until we get into a group. Anything further than the group stage would be a nice bonus but getting into the group at all is a win and could cement the reputation of Pedro which can only help all concerned. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
