Last season Dnipro won their group against teams like Real Zaragoza, Club Brugge KV and FC Utrecht and therein lies the task for us. They have a squad packed with Ukrainian internationals who romped away with a FIFA World Cup qualifying group that included Denmark, who humbled England recently, and Greece who won the 2004 UEFA European Championship. So we are under no illusions that it's going to be a tough game.

Yes, we've got a few Scotland internationals who play regularly but their last game was still in front of just 1,500 people, ... So, OK, you're playing international football against decent players but European football is about the night, the occasion, t

I have to say I am a bit surprised at how quickly Gary has returned but that is all credit to him. He has shown a determination from day one to get himself back, that was evident when I went to see him in hospital the night he suffered his injury. I've already said that everyone in the squad will likely participate at some stage over the next three or four weeks, I'm pretty sure of that, so to have another body available certainly does help us.
