FCSB, formerly known as Steaua Bucharest (no be any small club o) lost to Shkendija in di second round of Champions League qualifying last season. Dem slick finish 11th for Europa League table, after dem no fit score against Rangers. Chai!

Hibernian and Dundee United dey waka together in di Conference League draw. Hibernian go face Partizan Belgrade, while Dundee United dey align with Rapid Vienna. Dem both need to carry their A-game, because one don’t play am anyhow for European football.

If Hibs sabi carry dem win, dem go face losers of Legia Warsaw and AEK Larnaca, while Dundee United fit meet winners of AIK Stockholm or FC Gyor. Both Scottish teams go start at home for di first leg on 21 August, praying for better European experience.
