Hearts head coach Vrancken said ahead of the game with Nordsjaelland: “I am looking forward to it. We fought hard for it and we really wanted to compete in the league phase. When you are wanting to play at the top of the league domestically, Europe is part of it. We want to play this schedule so we will not complain about it. A full Tynecastle with all our fans supporting us, it will be an amazing night.

“We have to believe and be brave. Nordsjaelland are a very good side. When you see the teams we are competing against, it’s a difficult draw, because in pot five and six you can have the smaller teams where you can almost be sure you get the three points. We took the strongest teams. It will be a really difficult game for sure. I am looking forward to us showing ourselves in Europe.”
