The south Londoners play their first away tie tonight when they take a slender 1-0 lead to Norway to tackle Fredrikstad FK in the second leg of their Conference League playoff.

Despite being kicked out of the Europa League - a spot they earned after winning last season's FA Cup - for breaking multi-club ownership rules, Glasner (above) is aware that playing in Europe's third-tier competition is still historic for the Eagles. The Austrian spent Tuesday playing mini-golf with his wife and daughter at Battersea Park.
