Motherwell
were paired with our old foes Havnar Botfelag in Wednesday’s Uefa Conference
draw.
The reward
for a superb league performance last season is a trip to the Faroe Islands for
the second leg of the tie. Kick-off times
will be confirmed by 26 June for the 23 & 30 July matches.
Motherwell
were unseeded and were grouped against Copenhagen, Helsinki, Mostar, Caernarfon
and HB (the lowest seed in that group).
It is a favourable draw but it means another unseeded test in Q3 if we
progress.
The draw
for the next round takes place on 20 July, ahead of the Q2 matches.
The teams
last met in the Uefa Cup in 1994 when, under the charge of Alex McLeish, goals
from Stevie Kirk (3), Billy Davies, Alex Burns, Tommy Coyne and Paul McGrillen
delivered a 7-1 aggregate win. A loss to
Dortmund followed.
HB are well
into the current season and sit sixth in the ten team league. Motherwell will have to make the best of
pre-season training to compete.
