Hearts' UEFA Cup Opponents Drawn

Last updated : 25 August 2006 By Gadgey

Hearts today drew Slavia Prague in the final qualifying round of the UEFA cup. The ties are at Murrayfield first on September 14th, and the return game in the Czech Republic two weeks later, 28th September.

Due to the way last nights results went, Hearts found themselves unseeded due to their lower co-efficiency. This meant Hearts could have faced any of five teams which included Blackburn Rovers, Fenerbahce, Spartak Moscow and German giants Schalke 04.

Not the best and nowhere near the worst draw for Hearts. If Hearts can manage to keep 11 players on the park this time round, there is no reason why we cannot qualify for the UEFA cup group stages.
