Dundalk went through the Champions Path, like Celtic, so the standard of opposition was similar. Motherwell & Dons had to face also-rans from bigger leagues.

Even Riga and Ferencvaros are more difficult than the run they've had though. I assume they've been unseeded the whole time as well?

Riga aren't a good side, Celtic were brutal. Ferencvaros, on the other hand, seem to be an emerging yet lowly-seeded side. 

I agree there is an element of 'luck of the draw', Celtic could've played a much weaker side than the Hungarians at that stage and Aberdeen were on a hiding to nothing.

KÍ dish out an absolute scudding to Dinamo Tblisi. The countries are only four places apart in the coefficient but it's a minter of a result for the Georgians.

Scottish connection to this result as KÍ player Odmar Færø has played for Keith, Forfar & Banks O'Dee.

Shows the value to small clubs of making the EL group stages and the importance of the luck of the draw ! Unusual position for LOI team to be hot favourites for a European game so guaranteed the Faroese will win LOL

That penalty shoot out was absolutely ridiculous.

Rio Aves were seconds away from what I’m guessing would have been one of their most famous victories of all time when one of their players deliberately slaps the ball in the box. Penalty Milan which is scored and goes to shoot out.

Both teams score all their penalties, during the knock outs Aves have a chance to win it but their player hits the post, watches the ball trundle along the line, hit the other post and go out.

Milan keeper misses his penalty, Aves handed the chance to win it - but their keeper skies it [emoji23]

Aves get ANOTHER chance to win it and the boy smacks the bar.

Milan eventually prevail. Heartbreak for Aves and for the guy who hand balled it in the box.

Taxi for Lennon

Another taxi enroute for Lennon I think.

Watching Molde v Arsenal - the Molde striker slid in for a shot on goal and got the post right between the legs. Even I was crossing my legs 😳
