First Team
Saints to learn European opponent on Monday
16th June 2017
Friday 16th June
The draw for the Europa League qualifiers will be made on Monday (19th June) lunchtime, with St. Johnstone and Rangers both seeded for the First Round.
Part of the UEFA process on Monday ahead of the draw will be to split the first round teams into ‘groups’ and so our list of potential opponents will be narrowed down considerably to half a dozen or so ahead of the draw itself, which you'll be able to watch via UEFA's website. The draw is due to take place at 12pm GMT.
Whether Saints will be playing home or away in the first leg is the luck of the draw, and once the draw has been made we should know within an hour if there are any clashes with other ties that would require the home and away legs to be switched around.
There has been no official word that the first round will be regionalised, so a full list of Saints' potential opponents are listed below:
