Bad Robot 21,512 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Two massive matches before this run but some context for the EL matches which are doable if we’re on our game both matches plus two tough ones for the Prague teams which may help our Scottish coefficient: 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 CR3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rlm 414 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 No 8 hr journeys to Azerbaijan which is a relief, although tough draw we got a chance!, great ground to visit aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyal72 12,092 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Decent draw in terms of progressing in the competition. Must admit to not having seen much of Benfica lately. But if we're at our best, we win. That's my opinion against most teams 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco 1,574 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Could be better, could be worse for us in terms of the individual game, but a great draw overall considering the Czech sides. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just ok with Benfica but we do need to maintain our trajectory and if we do so we can win our league games and this tie but the players will need to put in the hard graft and guile and all under the leadership of Phil and his staff 🙏 kelvd1873 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDak 814 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Yeah, I know historically Benfica are a good team but I'm not sure what level they're at now and whether we're in with a chance. But it's at least not Liverpool or Milan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
