The Saints have been paired with the draw's lowest seeds, with the first leg of their first qualifying round at Park Hall tonight (7pm).

They then head to San Marino for the return leg next Tuesday. Harrison said: "Playing at this stage of the competition again gives us a good opportunity.

"We could go into the second round with a win or two under our belts and some momentum, which was the case last season. We are massive favourites."
