Today 3 of our clubs were involved in the final Europa League qualifiers , Celtic who were this week knocked out of the Champions League , Dundee Utd our national cup winners and Motherwell who have already saw off 2 teams to get here.
First Celtic , they will meet Dutch side Utrecht , a tough game for NeiL Lennon's side , the first leg will be at Parkhead with the return a week later , Celtic will hope their defence is sorted before taking on the dangerous Dutch.
Dundee Utd have been given a hard one but it could have been worse , AEK Athens are Utd's opponents , The greeks have already played Rangers in pre-season and emerged 1-0 winners , The first leg is at Tannadice so it will be crucial for Utd to take a lead over to hostile Athens.
Last but not least Motherwell , they really won a watch by drawing Odense Bk from Denmark , it could have Man City or Fenerbache for the Fir Park men , I'm sure Craig Brown will be quietly confident in his team as they have a real chance of making the Europa League out-right
As mentioned before if we get 2 out of 3 Scottish teams going through this round then we really have done well , the above 2 legs will take place on the 19th and 26th of August.
