'Brann are Norway's second force'published at 18:38 British Summer Time 8 August
St Mirren v Brann (19:45)
Former Scottish striker David Weatherston, who ended his career in Norway, on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast: "Brann have shown in the last two years that they're pretty much the second best team in Norway behind Bodo/Glimt.
"They play really exciting football, super offensive, high press, quick transitions.
"They've got a lot of talented players. Bard Finne, a Norway international, plays up front. Felix Horn Myhre is a super-talented midfielder and definitely one that's got a big future.
"Brann are much more suited to European football, the style they play. They beat Go Ahead Eagles from the Netherlands last week, which was quite an even game, but they definitely deserved to win the home leg, which was enough for them.
"That was off the back of a pretty unlucky penalty defeat to AZ Alkmaar in the play-offs last year.
"Brann are coming in with a little bit of experience in the last two years in Europe. They won the cup last year as well, so definitely a tougher opposition for St Mirren."
