A Scottish team other than Celtic or Rangers hasn't been in the group stages of a European competition since the 2007-08 season.
It's high time that changed - and this summer it could.
Hibs and Aberdeen are currently involved in a dogfight for third place in the Premiership.
The winners of the Scottish Cup claim our sole Europa League spot and enter into the third round.
But if one of the Glasgow giants clinch the famous trophy in May that spot will then go to the side in that 'best of the rest' position and they need to win just one tie for a guaranteed group stage spot - either in the Europa League or by dropping into the all new Europa Conference.
Two places in UEFA's brand new tournament - both starting in the second qualifying round - are also up for grabs.
They'll go to third and fourth originally but, again, depending on the identity of the Cup winner it could move down to fourth and fifth.
Put simply, any side in the top six remains with a shout at Europe - with Livingston and St Johnstone likely to battle to avoid being the one team left out in sixth.
And here are the vital qualifying dates for those sides.
Europa League qualifiers
Third qualifying round - 5 and 12 August
Play-offs - 19 and 26 August
Europa Conference qualifiers
Second qualifying round - 22 and 29 July
Third qualifying round - 5 and 12 August
