The third qualifying round marks the return of the FA Cup runners-up to European competition 37 years after they last competed in the UEFA Cup.On that occasion they were knocked out in the first round on away goals by Ajax, and the Potters have again drawn one of Europe's bigger names.Manager Pulis said: "It's a fantastic draw for us and an occasion that every single one of us are looking forward to."Hajduk Split are a hugely renowned football club with great tradition in European competitions, and it's also a lovely city for our supporters to go out and visit."The draw has only just been made but already my phone hasn't stopped ringing - you can sense the excitement building. It would be absolutely fantastic to get a full house at the Britannia Stadium and get the place rocking as we host European football here for the first ever time."
