I suppose it's a decent pre-season workout but really, neither Gibraltar or Kosovo are even actual countries. Well, you could say, neither is Scotland! But I agree, you would have thought that after our exploits last season we might have had to play one round less at least. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roma Espanyol Wolves Eintracht etc Surely we are going to be seeded for that round? Have we not amassed points from our campaign last year? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the QR2 draw yesterday we scraped in as 47th seed out of 47. Note that the draw for QR3 (July 22th) takes place before QR2 is played (ist leg July 25th). #MuchoEitherOr&Ifs 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland has been a footballing nation since association football came into being. Scotland is a nation. Always has been. Anyway, the list posted by buster is rather daunting. The only team out of that lot I'd give us any chance against is Espanyol. Although we were quite lucky in last year's draw, so something more like that is entirely possible - but teams will know we're a tough nut to crack this time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given an improved Co-eff place in the table, Scotland's Cup winners will go in at EL QR2 in 2020/21. Access points depend on national co-eff place, not the individual club numbers. Access List for this season (includes Scotland's co-eff 26th place) https://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/AccessList2019.html Our improved position at the end of season 2018/19 is now 20th and this will be used to deteremine access points for 20/21. https://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method5/crank2019.html Edited June 20, 2019 by buster. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooponthewing 1,139 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Aye Buster, I had said in a previous post that we were Q1 but there seemed to be some confusion? Anyway, only a few more weeks ⚽️ ?⚪️? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,583 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 The confusion emanated from the ill-informed gutter press. Another reason people should stop buying the red tops. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
