Wolves kick off their new season tonight when they make their long-awaited return to European football.
The Wanderers host Crusaders at Molineux in a Europa League second round qualifying tie – the first time in 39 years the club have played in European competition.
It is a reward for Wolves going from the Championship to Europe in two years after last season’s seventh placed Premier League finish.
They last played in Europe when they beat PSV Eindhoven 1-0 in October 1980 and now talkSPORT will have full coverage of their comeback.
