    ELTIC’S Champions League rivals Nomme Kalju look set to travel to Scotland without their manager and star player because they face a mad dash to Paris to collect a fast track UK visa.

    The treble treble winners are huge favourites to see off the challenge of the Estonian minnows in the second qualifying round.


    And the Baltic nation’s preparations have been disrupted through red tape before the first leg against the Hoops at Parkhead on Wednesday.

    The club’s manager Roman Kozhukhovskyi and key defender Andriy Markovych are both Ukrainians and have struggled to get UK visas on time for the game.


    They are now both expected not to be on the club’s flight to Scotland today as they concentrate on trying to get the visa.

    The duo will have to travel to the UK Embassy in Paris to get a fast track visa to travel to Glasgow, which has cost the club an estimated £1,500 in travel costs and visa fees.


    Nomme Kalju president Kuno Tehvasaid: “We can’t afford to hope the ordinary route to get a visa is processed in time.

    “Both Kozhukhovskyi and Markovych will travel instead to Paris where they will quickly get a visa, which is a solution to the issue.”

    Why does being Ukrainian harm you getting a visa?

    Is it perhaps just the case that the rest of the team are EU-nationals and require no visa to travel to the UK?

    It could be due to political instability in Ukraine, I suppose.

    Usual feeling of slight apprehension that I always have when we play a team that no one's heard of and sounds like a starter up the Indians.

    Hopefully bury the tie on Wednesday.

    Agree with the sentiment that this is certainly an easier task than Sarajevo, but hate playing teams who are half way through their leage campaign.

    That being said, there are definate weaknesses in this side. They're 12 points off the pace domestically and have conceeded 17 in 20 games. Their away form is quite decent but seem to slip up at home alot, even getting beat at home by that macedonian outfit.

    Ive watched a few of their highlights and seem to be a bit tricky up top, at the same time being a bit of a shambles st the back, conceeding a penalty a piece in each of their last euro legs.

    We should absolutely get through this.

    They conceded 74% possession in the home leg against Shkendija. That's the level we're talking about here.

    Scored from their 2 shots on target as well..

    Skendija had 25 shots at goal in the return. 45 over both legs..

    Nomme Kalju had 13 over both and only 4 on target. Scoring twice..

    We'll hammer them..

    Sitting 4th in their league after 20 games as well. 9 points off the top having played a game more than the leaders..

    We should be battering them first leg.

    Don’t normally buy into the big heidedness over European ties but anything other than a tie killing result on Wednesday is a * poor result.

    Also, why does every side we come up against always have * dramas. It’s like we attract this * :56:

    I know it's only one game but going off their match last week they'd genuinely struggle in the 2nd tier.

    And their star player managed 3 appearances for St Mirren before being released ffs.
