St Mirren secure European football for next season

St Mirren have qualified for European football for the first time in 37 years.

The Buddies secured a place in the second qualifying round of Europa Conference League, skipping the first round of qualifiers because of how many coefficient points Scotland has.

Dundee’s 5-2 loss against Rangers on Tuesday guaranteed St Mirren would take the final European spot.

The draw for the UEFA Conference League second qualifying round will take place on 19th June.

The second qualifying round matches will be played on 25th July and 1st August.

A total of 102 teams will be involved in the second qualifying round.

The draw will be split into the Champions Path and the Main Path. St Mirren will be in the Main Path alongside 87 other clubs.

The Champions Path features the 14 losing clubs of the Champions League first qualifying round.

The 88 clubs in the Main Path will be split into seeded and unseeded pots. It’s expected that St Mirren will be in the seeded pot, again because of coefficient points Scotland has gathered up.
