Fourth Place - Second Qual Round

Third Place - Third Qual Round

Scottish Cup - Playoff Round

 

If the Scottish Cup is Runner Up/5th place then it will be

 

Runner Up/Fifth Place - Second Qual

Fourth Place - Third Qual

Third Place - Playoff Round

 

Any ideas when the actual dates will be announced? So at the worst cast scenario (getting IN to Europe wise) if we finish 5th and there is (for example) an OF Final we will go in at the 'Flamurtari stage' next season?

Runner Up/Fifth Place - Flamurtari

Fourth Place - Steaua Bucharest

Third Place - ?????????

 

Tough call really when you look at the respective teams and rounds from last year. If we finish 5th we could get another Flamurtari and win comfortably or we could do a Falkirk and lose to an FC Vaduz.

 

4th place and we will likely face a St Bucharest and find the going tough, but with Paw Broon in charge - you never know.

 

3rd place and you can probably accept the best we will get is one home and away tie to glamour opposition.

 

On that basis I would probably rather Motherwell finished 5th - assuming that is good enough to get a Europa league place. Best tactics are to go for 3rd/4th and we will hopefully finish no lower than 5th.

 

Would love a Spanish or Italian tie. Fingers crossed. A real glamour tie against Roma, Juventus or Valencia - at least that way we would be guaranteed a home crowd of 5092 :lol:

Yup, I wouldnt expect us to drop below 4th for a while now. Aberdeen arent helping our case against Dundee at the moment though 2-0 down already, United could put a few away today and if they were to see us off next week they are looking quite comfortable in 3rd... anything can happen though. I love the business end of the season!

 

2-1 now good stuff

The Hearts game was the biggest of the season, but now the Dundee United game completely eclipses that. The Dundee United game is huge. If offered, I'd take a point now, but at the same time 3 points are very much a possibility!

We will know Sunday if 5th place will get the last place in Europe.

 

Info taken from from the top man for stats over at the Hearts Kickback board.

 

ONE match has a huge say in whether or not 5th in the SPL (possibly Hibs) get into Europe;

 

The Active Nations Scottish Cup

Semi Final

DUNDEE UNITED v RAITH ROVERS

 

If Dundee Utd win, 5th will enter Europe (unless Ross County win the Scottish Cup)

If Raith Rovers win, a First division side WILL qualify for the Europa League

 

So fingers crossed for a United win tomorrow :wacko:

I don't think that's right. I'm sure it has to be a Celtic-Utd final. I reckon Gordon Smith tried to make that the case, but was blocked by FIFA/UEFA. Could be wrong though.

 

 

Hmm! Now that I think of it the year Gretna got into europe as runners up Hearts never made the champions league.
