    No.
    Teams from same association cannot be drawn together in qualifiers.
    Hope they get Derry City

    This would be superb. A chance to go back to Seville, its a beautiful city, and their fans seemed like good *. With the possibility of a wee trip to Belgium and the chance to sort that * 1-0 defeat (against 10 * men) we had under MON, still * me off that happened :38:

    Although that's also because I got that * I woke up on a * park bench to discover some wee * had dipped my wallet the * :56:

    I think I most of these teams will be dreading playing us in qualifiers with the level of confidence in our team, away trip to Glasgow is never easy.

    For the first time ever I actually expect us to do very well in these games. No long pre-season tours, a great manager and a confident & good spirited squad will make a * of a lot of difference this year. Still want an easy draw though :giggle1:

    Last year we had a defensive injury crisis and Aston Villa * us about with the Sinclair transfer in between qualifiers, this year we have a team that has gelled together and should be confident from going unbeaten all year domestically. Hopefully with another 2-3 quality signings it should be smooth sailing this Summer!

    Nice summary :50:

    Really good news for us going forward. Stuff like this might now be as glamorous as a big win or a new signing but a big coefficient jump would be a tremendous boost to our European chances.

    They struggled against the sheep in both ties by all accounts. The sheep only lost a last minute goal away that I saw due to a howler from Lewis..

    We were the better team against them when we were pish under Ronny. Now we've got a proper structure, way of playing and quality and pace going forward... they've no chance of doing us over 2 legs for me..

    I'm no saying this will be easy as the timing of the qualifiers, location's, some well in to season's and just general banana skin's make it dodgy... but I just fancy us against any of the unseededs this year to be honest..

    We're a different animal and with a couple of quality additions, should be even better..

    Unfortunately UEFA changed their mind about the bonus points for historical success. This bonus will now only count towards deciding financial distribution. The changes will certainly help us against teams from bigger nations who don't feature in Europe each season, though. Just not to the extent described above. Villarreal would be on 44 points, Celtic on 39.

    If you open link on my opening post look at 2nd rd qualifiers.
    We are on seeded side so teams on other side are our possible opponents in 2nd rd

    Hard to believe the next game is only about 6 weeks away. Really is a quick turnaround.

    I'd love us to get Dundalk.
