The Paisley club would qualify for the final Europa League play-off round if they were to go on and win the Scottish Cup. Each season the Scottish FA publishes licensing awards, with St Mirren receiving an overall 'gold' rating, while other top flight sides classified 'silver' have been granted the Uefa licence. Livingston last played in Europe 18 years ago and would qualify for the new Conference League if they finish fifth and Hibernian win the cup. St Mirren have been absent from European competition for 34 years after their 1987 Scottish Cup victory. Losers from the Europa League play-offs drop into the group phase of the inaugural Conference League.
