Honestly i would take AC just for the glamour tie. 

They'd be obvious favourites but we have a chance over 2 legs and if we went out it wouldnt be the end of the world. 

[Broxi 11,484]

Freiburg, Qarabag, Sporting or Sparta Prague please

[Inigo 32,534]

Probably take Freiburg. Not too much travel and we'd have a decent shout on paper.

Qarabag, Freiburg, Marseilles and Sparta are probably the more winnable of the potential ties.

[bluenoz 30,844]

None of this glamour tie pish. For financial reasons and to keep the dream of Dublin alive, the easiest tie, please. A trip to Baku to play Qarabağ.

[Tiger Shaw 30,475]

Roma would be mental 

[6superbarry6 14,159]

Milan the obvious ones to avoid, Sporting and Benfica look tough as well would fancy our chances against the rest

Keep the glamour ties for later rounds we go through to quarters we are pretty much guaranteed a glamour tie anyway 

[bluenoz 30,844]

Hibs away in SC sandwiched in between ties. 

[The Specky Forum Organiser 64,734]

Qarabag or Prague please

[ForeverAndEver 71,508]

Sporting are the one I don’t want at all.

[MarzM 1,248]

I don't want Qarabag. That away trip game before Hibs in the cup? Fuck that!

[STEPPS BOY 73,925]

Milan or Roma.

Freiburg please and let us put Marseille to the sword in the final which will tick many boxes 🙏 

[JackAlex93 11,278]

Hopefully avoid Qarabag for obvious reasons

[Bad Robot 21,151]

Two massive matches before this run but some context for the EL matches:

02 March Motherwell (H) SPFL Sat 3pm

07 March Benfica (A) EL Thus tbc

10 March Hivs (A) SC Sun 5:30pm 

14 March Benfica (H) EL Thus tbc

17 March Dundee (A) SPFL Sun 12pm

*getting moved to a Wednesday might do us a favour as gives us another day’s rest for the SC.
