Gooseman 889 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Due to the abject failure of Scottish football in Europe of the last while, when we win the cup we go in to the second qualifying round. Out of the possible countries below, who would we want and who do we want to avoid. N.B I have taken us out of this list as we cant play ourselves! A total of 66 teams are expected to play in the second qualifying round: 17 teams which enter in this round, and the 49 winners of the first qualifying round.

The Godfather 70,782 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Bit early for this mate. I know you are confident but if our last 2 games are anything to go by the cup is certainly no certainty. Things like this come back to bite you on the arse, I’ll wait till the full time whistle before looking into all of the Europa stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have played one or two good matches out of the last 5 or 6. We turned up for the big one at Hampden, and people think we won the fucking cup. We won the semi final. FFS shut the fuck up till we win it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realist's I'd say. If we play to our capabilities we can beat anyone in Scotland on our day but Hibs have a decent record against us. Let's save all the European and Hibsit talk until we beat them and we can spend all summer having fun with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was very confident before the scum game ( check my previous posts) and am super confident for this. I am now back to the feeling that we had before we went into admin, i.e we should beat everyone we play in Scotland. We play better against the "bigger" teams in general.

Dutchy 1,200 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm confident that we'll beat hivs in the final as well, but it's probably better to wait until that happens before talking about who we can face. As well as the fact that all those 4th placed positions in the other leagues are not settled yet either. A wee bit early to speculate just yet.
