For pride more than anything given we can't actually get the good European spot anymore. Edit: Next Wednesday rather. 2nd? 3rd is still there. A massive ask though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 3rd will be shite for you regardless, as the winners of the Scottish Cup get the best remaining European spot. In terms of Europe you'll, effectively, be finishing 4th this season regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I said good European spot, I wasn't referring to the Champions League spot. I was referring to the (essentially) direct entry to the Europa Conference League group stages, that goes to the cup winners, unless the cup is won by either of the top two; neither of whom are still in the competition obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Livi deserved a draw over the 90 mins. Hard place to win though. Thomas again a handful upfront. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought McGeouch was very good defensively but at times even more negative than Campbell on the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there much more money in the ECP then the Europa? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of Europe you'll, effectively, be finishing 4th this season regardless. 3rd obviously won’t be shite, don’t know why you would say that. 3rd would prove that we are the third best team in the country, and get us more prize money than finishing fourth. It’s extremely unlikely that we will be third, given that we would have to get at least a point at Ibrox, and other results go our way, but it is a remote possibility. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there much more money in the ECP then the Europa? It's more that it'll be guaranteed ECL group football (still with the chance of EL groups). It'll be significantly more money than getting to the 3rd qualifying round of the EL, that's for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah true. Of course there's still the chance we can get into said ECL groups. We'll have to win three qualifying rounds. The playoff has the potential to be the calibre of team that usually knocks us out of the Europa League qualifiers. Absolute nonsense that the Cup winners get that spot, but we knew that going into this season, and bottled it last week regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
