Motherwell's reward for progress in Europe is a tie with Odense of Denmark

Motherwell avoided trips to Manchester City or Villareal in the draw that paired them with Odense of Denmark.

While it is not the glamour tie we were all looking for it is maybe the best chance of the seeded teams we have of making any progress to the group stages.

Once again we are away first which will give the players the chance to keep the tie alive ahead of the return at Fir Park and see what happens then.

The club will be hoping there is porgress to the group stages as this is not the money winning tie they were looking for.

Hopefully this does not prevent the club releasing money for Craig Brown to add to his squad before we make the trip to Denmark.

Odense have a couple of players we know well over here with Roy Carroll in goal and former Man Utd man Eric Djemba Djemba in their squad.
