: Hearts and their 3 goal cushion is enough to eventually see us through to the Third qualifying round...where we (and Maccabi Haifa) will be drawn against any of the following seeded teams...
: : AC Milan (ITA) : Liverpool FC (ENG) : Arsenal FC (ENG) : Valencia CF (ESP) : AFC Ajax (NED) : LOSC Lille Métropole (FRA) : SL Benfica (POR) : NK Gorica (SLO) / FC Steaua Bucuresti (ROU) : PFC CSKA Moskva (RUS) : AEK Athens FC (GRE) : FHK Liepajas Metalurgs (LAT) / FC Dynamo Kyiv (UKR) : PFC Levski Sofia (BUL) / FC Sioni Bolnisi (GEO) : FC Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR) : Galatasaray SK (TUR) : Hamburger SV (GER) : FC Slovan Liberec (CZE)
: : I would be hopeful of qualifying if we drew any team underneath Benfica...antyhing above would almost certainly mean UEFA Cup for the balance of the season for us...but then...if we lost to anyone under Benfica...then we may as well have drawn to Liverpool or Arsenal and get 50,000 to Murrayfield instead of 30,000...
: PS...did you know they don't allow the Champion's League theme tune to be played before qualifying matches...???
