Dundee United’s European dream became a difficult to stomach humbling in Moscow as the Dinamo millionaires put on the afterburners to cruise home.

Peter Houston was left trying to piece together his shattered pride. But hey-ho, onwards to another European draw for Scottish clubs.

There are some scary names in continental football staring back at Hearts and Motherwell in Nyon today.

Fans of the clubs are weighing up the positives of getting an impossible tie in a sunny location, or an impossible location and a winnable tie.

It is Sell Out Saturday this weekend, with clubs desperate to shift all their tickets and show solidarity after a crazy summer for Scottish football. If you can get along to a game this weekend, you should definitely do so.
