On a Scottish level, I'm hoping that both Rangers and Celtic make it through to the group stages of the Champions League, with at least one of them qualifying for the knockout stages. On a related note, Rangers are seeded in the 2nd qualifying round and both Rangers (if they get through) and Celtic are seeded in the 3rd qualifying round. That should in theory ensure their passage - but there's some very dangerous teams potentially awaiting them. If they do both make it into the Group stages, then Celtic are in Pot 3 and Rangers are in pot 4 -

In the UEFA cup, we desperately need for Aberdeen to get into the Group stages (and beyond that, with luck) and for Dunfermline to at least make the First round proper - though ideally both teams would make it into the Group stages. Dunfermline are seeded in the 2nd round, but both teams are unseeded in the 1st round proper. There's not many easy teams at all in the seeded half of the 1st round - Aberdeen's best hope would be drawing one of the English teams or possibly one of the weaker Spanish teams - or even Bayern Munich, just to raise the game a bit.

Irritatingly, no team from Scotland has bothered to enter the Inter-Toto cup - even though they would've faced either a Bosnian team or an Andorran team in the 2nd round and Trabzonspor or an Croatian/Albanian team in the 3rd round.
