Venue is likely to be changed as Union’s stadium seems to be mostly standing which isn’t allowed by UEFA.

Rumours on Twitter that it’ll be moved to either Leuven (another 10k capacity stadium) or Heysel (50k capacity).

Hope to fuck it’s the latter otherwise the allocation will be utterly shite

Aye hopefully the National Stadium.

I'm just waiting for the fucking date so I can book. I can't really take 3 days off so booking now is not really an option. Will probably end up getting fleeced for the Day Trip

Any reason why it won't be the Tuesday?

This team topped their league, playing everyone in the league twice - before their mad split where the top 4 play each other twice to decide the title (where they then finished 2nd). 

I’d expect us to win, but they’re a decent outfit.

Morelos and Roofe were badly missed in that away tie last year, really hope Colak is on it straight away.

Morelos missed some important games for us last season.

My only worry is us being up to speed in time, there's no doubt if we are on it we'll do the business with a bit to spare, we've got Gio now so we should be confident we won't see last season's shit show.

It probably will be but it could be played on the Wednesday - there's no fixed date yet. To be safe I'd have to book Tuesday to Thursday at the moment.

[GersInCanada 7,775]

If we get any kind of a result in Belgium then we can go through at Ibrox hopefully with a bit of ease.

[Moody Blue 9,516]

Got to be happy with that outcome but they will be no mugs for sure so we better have a better application of ourselves than 12m ago.

Great draw.

Be lucky if it’s 10 minutes. They usually roll out some random European player no cunt gives a fuck for and ask him in his own language how he’s doing

Few away tickets then 

[MarzM 1,260]

Just checking. Is it just these 2 games and then straight into the CL. Or is there another round after this?

They got promoted the season before, last year was a return to glory for them then they fucked it right at the death due to Belgium's championship play-off system. They literally led the league for 90% of the season then Brugge pipped them to the title. 

Denis Undav was great for them, on loan from Brighton, scored so many goals but he is back at Brighton now I think

That Undav scored 45 in 68 games for them.   Glad he is with Brighton.

Shame we sold Bassey.

Was calling out for him to score and generate the headline:-

Leuven and Shirley

Aye, it’s confirmed as Leuven here:

Bit of a shame, would have been nice to visit Heysel.

Do Union have a decent support? Hopefully our allocation is more than the minimum.

Only holds 10,000 so our allocation 500.

After having 45 minutes to beat a 10 man Malmö at Ibrox last season and failing miserably we can't take anything for granted.

We are rarely at our best this early in the season.

[BlueThunder 8,454]

Very concerning that a number of folk on here seem to already think we are through. This will be a very tough tie and there is every chance we could get a shock.
