As it stands at this moment in time, we will be unseeded for the UEFA Europa Conference League Third Qualifying Round (Main Path). This is two rounds before the group stage.

As I understand it (and I can't really make head nor tail of it), if Sellick pull off a cup win over Inverness CT, then we take the cup winner's berth in the Europa League (UEFA Cup in auld money) and go into the play-off round as a "priority one" team, which means we can draw either a team which loses in the Champions League third qualifying round, or one of the teams from the main path of the third qualifying round.

If we win that, then we're in the group stage. And if we lose that, then we drop into the Conference League group stage.

It's that simple.
