Coleraine coach Oran Kearney who masterminded the Miracle of Maribor last week will not after all get his dream Europa League pairing against AC Milan. At least, not yet.
The draw for the second qualifying round takes place this morning at the House of European Football, Nyon, Switzerland (1100 UK time), and the Bannsiders have a realistic chance of meeting beatable opposition.
They have been placed in the draw’s Main Path, Group 3 with the potential of meeting any one of three seeded clubs. Motherwell (who ironically would not have been seeded had Coleraine not defeated Maribor), Copenhagen and English-based, Welsh club, The New Saints (TNS).
