Yeah I think so however I did hear the guy doing the draw saying some ties may be swapped and it won't be concrete until the official draw is up tomorrow.

Could we maybe open a new thread for people travelling to Romania for this one. Adding flight/accommodation prices and advice from whatever you can find on it.

Astra's European matches last season consisted of Beating Lyon on Away Goals Losing to Salzburg 7-2 AGG Losing to Celtic 3-2 AGG Losing to Zagreb 5-2 AGG

2 Nights in Guirgui for between £35-50

Another important bit of info, You don't need a Visa to get in which is handy.

Don't know how accurate this is but the 1 hour journey from Bucharest airport to Guirgui is £3 by bus, £15 by train and £20 by taxi....

That's a poor draw, Think we will struggle against them. Astra play in Bucharest?

They still haven't announced the groups.

It just happens to be that every team from those nations are playing unseeded sides from round 2 meaning even if they win they still can't play us because they can't take the seed.

West Ham are seeded for round 1, if they play Newport and new port win then Newport would then be seeded for round 2 because West Ham are already seeded for round 2 If Valetta who are seeded for round 1 play Newport and new port win they are both still unseeded for round 2 meaning we cant play either.

None of those teams are playing seeded sides that are in the 2nd round. If any of the teams from those nations win they will be unseeded for the 2nd round like us.

Looking at the draw from Round 1 we can no longer play anyone from Wales as well as Austria, Liechtenstein, Israel, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Russia, Italy, Ukraine, France, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Macedonia, Ireland, Malta, Armenia, Gibraltar,

Saints v Alashkert from Armenia

Aberdeen v Shkendija from Macedonia.

Celtic to play STJARNAN? Never heard of them before.

As a supporter of Scottish teams in Europe i'd like them to progress. I was just saying those places would be good to go to.

If I was a saints fan i'd be hoping for Iceland and for Dons the Faroes

Starting to get exciting!

I think your right about consecutive matches. Might be worth having a look at Wyness too, I seem to recall him having a great length of stay in the team too.

I didn't even know this was on, Why would they hold the U20 World Cup at the same time as the U21 Euro Championships? I'd have thought Germany and Portugal would have players available for both of these tournaments but due to clashing had to have 2 different squads completely.

West Ham are in round 1 I think

Yeah they are all unseeded, Out of the 51 unseeded teams last season only 8 of them beat the seeded side so the chances of us playing any of those sides are quite slim I think.

Last Season Aberdeen won 8-0 on AGG in the 1st Round. They are seeded again this year so I think they'll be ok.

I think he'll end up at lower end premier side, if the money was right though I would like to see him back here.

Looks to me like we can eliminate the following seeded sides from Round 1 as they will be unseeded for Round 2 regardless of who they beat.
