We were dreadful but somehow we're through.

Will be delighted if the midget’s of Denmark are as wasteful tomorrow night, don’t think iv seen a team as bad in front of goal at that level. Too only score one goal over the two legs with the chances they had was criminal

Who would the Huns want to play new round.

Much of a muchness. Plzen got to the same stage of the Europa as us last season and only lost to a decent Lazio team so I’d rather have had Servette but if we want to mix with the big boys these are the teams we need to be beating.

What a thing of beauty the Panathinaikos strip is

The team wearing it is absolutely honking though

Tbh Rangers were absolutely honking last night, so was the England wannabe kit we were wearing.

What are you expecting? A smooth silky performance in those conditions?  It was our second competitive match. Personally I had low expectations of progression to the next round when the draw was made.

I was expecting the Greeks to beat rangers comfortably. Rangers got the job done and I assume will have more matches under their belt come the next round

I had low expectations as well but am glad we're through. In fairness we've had better teams that have gone out early. Greece away, particularly early in the competition, is always going to be tough but we were poor last night, could easily have been three or four down in the first 20 minutes except for some poor finishing and Butland's heroics.

Only the one.  First leg against Plzen is at Ibrox on Tuesday!

I read it's going to be the largest number of Hibs fans at ER in 40 years, feeling like I should bet on a 1st minute Danish goal now 😆.

I hope those in attendance get an AEK Athens 2001 styled atmosphere and this time we go through.

Taking the wee man tonight; hope the atmosphere keeps him going with it being a bedtime kick-off 😄

Class. As I get aulder I think it’s no about the winning or losing, it’s who you’re watching the game with 👍🏼

Great to see United through and all the best to hibs tonight 

[RanelaghScot]

As a Hibs fan you never know whether to laugh or cry at times....

No disgrace in the result, we were up against a quality team and it took three wonder goals over the two legs to put us out. Great effort by the team over the two legs and a lot of positives to take into the season.

But FFS....talk about a glorious failure....there's a part of me that would've almost preferred the Aston Villa pumping we got a couple of years back, at least there were no hopes and dreams smashed by earth shattering despair...

[scotlad]

It's the hope that kills you. As a Partick Thistle and Scotland fan, I can relate! 😂

[Toepoke]

Some goal to win it, but a real sickener. Just after the Danes had subbed their keeper for penalties too!

 

[Diamond Scot]

Really good effort by Hibs. Tonight was a classic example of what happens when you get tired legs and minds. Last 20 mins of normal time and then extra time Hibs just didnt have the composure to build attacks which came purely from team mates not having the legs to keep movement off the ball going. Then in the few moments when things broke for them they repeatedly made tired decisions.

Really good showing though and makes a difference from some years gone past.

Do they drop into the Conference league play offs now?

Aye, away to Partizan Belgrade next week. You'd think the Conference would be easier 😬

Unlucky for Hibs last night. It would have been terrific if they'd got though against tough opposition. 

Getting Partizan Belgrade next is reminiscent of Rangers, if we'd not scraped through we'd have been up against Beşiktaş or Shakhtar Donetsk, both of whom are bigger names than Plezn.

Most of the teams in the Conference are going to be beatable but then again you might get the odd anomaly like Chelsea last year.

Enjoyed the match despite the result. Pity about the great chance going nowhere near goal just before they scored again. Got home about half 12 and wee man still up at 7 today 🙃

So true, been thinking about that the last couple of Scotland trips most of us are in sniper’s alley now ☹️
