AllyMcCoistLoyal 6 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I imagine when we're back in Europe the Scottish coefficient will be low, meaning we'll be starting out in the lower qualifying phases. Doubt Ryanair can take 20000 to downtown Liechtenstein haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblueoysterbar 19,705 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Getting a bit ahead of yourself there, mate. Could have to wait 3, 4, 5 or 6 years for this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbo 588 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I can see us playing an Irish or Welsh team in an early qualifier considering how low the co-efficient is likely to be.Then again a repeat of playing Shelbourne in 1998 would be good Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamie 4,849 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 If we win a cup in div1 will we be able to play in Europe?If the accounts filed in march are for this year.Then next march accounts is for year 2Does that mean our accounts filed march in div1 will be year 3? If so, and if we win a cup in div1 could we potentially play in Europe on our first year back in the SPL? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be unrealistic to try and win the Scottish cup when were in division 1.Agreed although not having to deal with Europe in our first season back in the top flight might be a blessing if we are able to put together a squad strong enough to win the title.In four of our past five title wins we've been out of Europe by Christmas which probably contributed to us winning the title. During Celtic's 3 in a row spell under Strachan we did well in Europe every season of that three in a row but never won the league Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

During Celtic's 3 in a row spell under Strachan we did well in Europe every season of that three in a row but never won the league Aye that's a good point. There is a definite correlation between doing well in Europe and losing the title, not just in Scotland but in most big leagues in Europe. I want to see us fully focused on the league by the time we get back up there. Being in 4 competitions is just not what we need to be frank, it might be financially beneficial but I'd rather we did as well as we can in the SPL.

Obviously depends on the country but I reckon 15-20k folk will make the journey no matter where it is.No chance.It’ll be against a small team with next to no tickets, in the middle of nowhere.Wonder if they’ll start the Travel Club from scratch!
