This afternoon’s game is not about playing well or looking the part for the new season. It is only about getting a result that helps us into the second round. All of the pretty football and developmental signs we hope to see can wait.
Last year we started the same competitive journey a little closer, in Ireland. More memorably, a year earlier, things kicked off in Gibraltar. Ronny’s two campaigns both began in Iceland. Although the game in Gibraltar was an anxious occasion, early European qualification games have only helped prepare the squad in recent seasons.
If we are to see these four qualification rounds through, we will have eight games in eight weeks. Each an opportunity to pick up injuries and suspensions. Let’s hope we come through today unscathed in both respects.
Here we go again!

Question
What’s the difference between getting a verbal abuse because of the colour of your skin & getting a hard time for acting in an obnoxious & provocative manner after being sent off for an egregiously reckless challenge on an opponent at your opponents ground?
Answer
None according to Show Racism the Red Card (Scotland).
Truth is that acting like an erse in a deliberate attempt to goad fans when you happen to be black does not exempt you from getting stick. Neither does it mean that deliberately provoking that response when you’re black – that subsequent abuse is because you are black.
I’d take a score draw in this game and if we snatch a win it will be narrow judging by Alashkert’s previous results .
Looking forward to the combination of Edouard and Dembele which we’ve seen previews of and were reminded of how well the two linked when briefly paired last season.
Scott Allan on the bench but very likely to return to Hibs when he comes home.

Pretty in pink playing well. Looks like they will have a few chances.
