Well the 2014 Scottish Cup Winners (that's for DfT :)) are in Lucerne for this evenings Europa League qualifying round - against FC Luzerne as you might guess. Come of Saints :) Back to McDiarmid with a win would be nice. A few good results and we might find ourselves in a group with an English club - then we'll see...

Be OK if it was Man City though, the Dundee guys say they were a pushover.

I hope St Johnstone make it through, be good for them to have a wee run.

If they get in a group with an English team they will, however, get humped. Properly humped.

Scottish football is appalling sadly.

Judging from one of my photos the Man City players were busy doing something other than playing football when we hammered them last week
13-07-2014 - Dundee v Man City- 09347.jpg

PS: friendly results don't matter a damn - we were much fitter than City, we've been back since the second week in June and look the fittest I've ever seen at this stage of pre-season - City had been back for ten days - was shocked at how out of condition Nasri looked though - he obviously had a good summer.

Looks like going to need a hell of a turn around from Celtic to have a scottish team in the CL proper this season

Beaten soundly by Legia Warsaw 4-1

Very bad night for Celtic. It's a shame as they need CL football. I hope they can turn the deficit over and the away goal could be crucial. What happens if they don't win. No European football. Not a good prospect

And hoping for a good result by St Johnstone tonight against Spartak Trnava (3rd in Slovakian League last season)

I'm leaving shortly for hopefully another famous European evening at McDiarmid Park........only just recovered from the drama of the 5-4 penalty shoot out win a week ago!!! Rumours that Stevie May is injured......although we may just be saving him for the second leg again!!

They drop down into the play off round of the Europa League

Shame Legia missed their penalties :(

Not an entirely unexpected result. Either ship out the new man or back him and punt players to let him build his own team. Either way it looks highly unlikely there will be any European football.

With the lack of competition for them in their domestic league they will struggle in the CL

Will stroll to the title but fail to get through the CL qualifying - the standard is only going to drop further

So after last nights results it's looking very likely that Scotland will have no representative teams left in Europe before the season even starts - they have reached the levels of the Welsh and Irish League - will it only get worse ?
