    I hope Dundee Utd win the Scottish cup and if they do it should be the following for Europa League 2014-2015 qualification

    EL 1st Rd qualifier - Motherwell (3rd placed in league)
    EL 2nd Rd qualifier - Dundee Utd (Cup winners)
    El 2nd Rd qualifier - Aberdeen (League runner up)

    Don't think Motherwell will make it past the first round but Aberdeen and Dundee Utd may do a little better than 3rd round.

    if they are entering the first round, I would be shocked if motherwell dont get past atleast one round, they havent done well the last two season but they were up against teams with a much bigger budget.

    Wouldn't mind seeing st johnstone in the europa league again after they beat rosenburg last year

    Hopefully next season the other European qualifiers can actually win through a few rounds and maybe even one of them reach the Europa League Group stages. To be fair if the teams are Aberdeen, Dundee United and Motherwell then that really is the next best 3 teams in the league after us so it will be interesting to see how they do.

    I think Dundee Utd and Aberdeen are by far the best of the rest of the SPFL. Motherwell have always been * and constanly overachieve in the league. I like to see Dundee Utd and Aberdeen in Europe next season, maybe there is some chance of getting into the Europa League group stages. As for Motherwell, I think the will probably get beat by some team from the Faroe Islands in the first round.

    That was the crowd for the Dinamo x RB Salzburg game last night. Won't be an intimidating place to go.
