Obviously no fans allowed in ground but allowed to travel to Belfast or Porto?

10 teams will come in from the Europa League Playoffs to finish off the group stage.

The biggest teams in the EL right now are AZ, Fenerbachce, Celtic and Galatasaray. There could be some bigger teams drop in from the CL 3rd round like Dinamo Zagreb, Olympiacos, Benfica, Monaco, PSV, Spartak Moscow, or Rangers but that would require them to lose both the CL 3rd round tie and the EL playoff tie which is unlikely.

The group stage of the Conference League will be pretty trash, but you'll have the 8 3rd place teams from the Europa League group stage drop in for the knockout round. Let's face it, Spurs should really control this event unless they decide the games aren't worth it.

Bohs looking very tired now.

Their captain Keith Buckley (29yrs) is a painter & decorator.

Molde with a strong away result at Trabzonspor sees them in pole to face Roma in the next round. Aberdeen, Hibs, Dundalk and Shamrock all very much in their ties.

Two matches played yesterday

Rosenborg play Rennes in one of the more interesting playoff ties. Shakhter (not that one) play the winner of Spartak Trnava - Maccabi Tel-Aviv.

Molde equalise in the 98th minute against Trabzonspor to make it 1-1 on the night, 4-4 on aggregate. Previously that would've flipped the tie and sent Molde through on away goals, but now it's off the extra time instead.

I miss away goals. I really think it works in knockout football.

Molde lose on penalties with a player formerly of arch-rivals Rosenborg scoring the winner. Ouch.

Will post the full list and playoff draw tomorrow.

Tranbzonspor lucky to beat Molde and be facing Roma as per my posts above. Had the away goals rule not been cut Molde would've won the tie.

Not a great night for most of the British and Irish clubs. Larne, Dundalk, Hibs, Linfield, TNS and Bohemians all drop out. Aberdeen and Shamrock Rovers make it through to the playoff round.
