5:30pm kick off in Sweden next week. The Breidablik v Austria Vienna match doesn't kick off until 8pm giving our management team the chance to see our opponents in action.

Olsson only on the bench for Hacken.

Mason Hancock, 18 y/o Centre Back

Two Half Times involving other Swedish teams... Hammarby 0 Maribor 0 Elfsberg 3 Milsami 0

Squad list now up on UEFA website. Confirms that Gallagher is suspended for Thursday night. https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaconferenceleague/clubs/50122--aberdeen/

Yellow card suspensions are where the bookings didn't result in a sending off so I don't see 52.03 or 52.05 applying in this case.

This doesn't really clear it up as 52.05 doesn't say that red card suspensions expire at end of season.

So Champions League (Non Champions Path) Q3 Losers go to the Europa League Group Stage but the Champions League (Champions Path) Q3 losers only go to the Europa League Play Off Round....WTAF?!?!?!

No.

How many out of contract at Motherwell? 26 out of contract at Killie, I reckon that takes some beating and probably explains them going down.

Here's a dilemma... Providing we get through QR2 we will definitely be in the Play Off Round Draw so what would we prefer in QR3? 1) Drawn against one of the "easier" seeded teams (likes of Dundalk, Santa Clara, Pacos de Ferreira, Suduva Marijampole etc) and not be seeded in the PO Round 2) Drawn against one of the "harder" seeded teams (likes of Basel, Gent, Anderlecht, Astana, LASK, Feyenoord, Qarabag, FCSB etc) and should we somehow win we'd be seeded in the PO round. Seeded teams in the PO Round include the likes of Spurs, Roma & Villareal

Now confirmed that we won't be seeded for QR3, but we will be seeded for QR2.

If Chelsea qualify for the Champions League through the league does that affect things in any way? If St. Johnstone do get bumped up to the PO round I'd guess they would take (Edited) Belgian 3rd place spot and be Priority 1 for the draw where they would play a Priority 4 or 3 team.

With a favourable draw it is not beyond the realm of possibility that St. Johnstone could make the Europa League Group Stage. It's possible that they could face 2 Danish teams - Brondby or Midtjylland in the Qualifying round and Randers in the Play Off Round.

Wolfsberger need to play either Hartberg or Austria Wien still to decide the N5 place. Hartberg is the only one of those 3 that wouldn't push us down a place.
