Motherwell will soon be able to start planning for their Europa Conference League adventure this summer.
The Steelmen and their fans are waiting with eager anticipation for the new season which will begin at the second qualifying round in UEFA's newest competition.
It was secured via a fifth place finish in last season's Premiership campaign, with the new one getting underway next month too.
But all eyes are on Europe for now as crowds at Fir Park get set to welcome continental football back to ML1 for the first time since 2020, and a first in front of fans in eight years.
Here's all you need to know about what might await Motherwell in the Europa Conference League.
When are the matches?
Motherwell's campaign will begin on the 21st of July with the second leg a week later on the 28th of July.
When is the draw?
It takes place on Wednesday, 15th of June, a day after the competition's first qualifying round draw.
They'll already know their potential third round opponents by time action kicks off, with that draw taking place on the 18th of July.
Where to watch the draw?
Information on this isn't currently available but routinely, most UEFA draws for this competition have been streamed via their dedicated Europa Conference League section of their website.
Who's a favourable tie?
Graham Alexander's men are seeded for this round but he will be keen to emphasise that tough assignments still potentially lie in wait for his team.
That said, there are some in the unseeded section that could put Motherwell as favourites to reach the third round.
Racing Union of Luxembourg have never been in a second qualifying round tie before, and have lost their three first round qualifiers across European competitions by an aggregate score of 17-3.
FK Makedonija Gjorče Petrov, KF Vllaznia Shkodër and St Patrick's Athletic have the lowest club coefficient ranking of any of the teams 'Well can land.
There are also potential trips to Gibraltar and Faroe Islands depending on how the first round qualifiers go.
Who's a tricky tie?
The cliché every game is difficult trope could be applied but there are some noticeably harder tasks on offer for Motherwell, potentially.
AIK are currently second in Sweden's top flight after seven wins from their first 11 matches, and would be a tough ask for Alexander's team.
Lillestrom meanwhile currently lead Norway's Eliteserien and would provide another strong foe. Viking, two places behind them, are the unseeded side with the highest coefficient ranking.
Then there's Konyaspor of Turkey after their third-placed finish in the Super Lig and three of Poland's top four are also potential landing spots.
Win in any of these scenarios though, and the Fir Park club could potentially welcome big European clubs like Anderlecht, Basel and AZ Alkmaar to ML1.
