Charlie Mulgrew admits he suffered a memory blank after Dundee United landed Bosnia and Herzegovina's Tuzla City or Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in the Europa Conference League.
The Tannadice stalwart was alerted by text message that his club had gone into the hat in Nyon yesterday and he's set about doing a crash course on both clubs ahead of the third qualifying round. As all eyes turn to see who United face next month, Mulgrew insists he's determined his side make an impact during their first European adventure after an absence of nine years.
He said: "Someone texted me after the draw and said something about AZ Alkmaar and I replied back, 'what are you talking about?' I honestly forgot the draw was taking place on Monday. It's brilliant that we are in this draw as it's been too long for a club of Dundee United 's stature not to be meeting clubs in Europe. Someone showed me a list of potential opponents a few days ago and it was clear whoever we were paired with, it wouldn't be an easy tie and so it's proved.
