  Implications stemming from the inclusion of non-perturbative, confinining
effects, as contained in the Stochastic Vacuum Model of Dosch and Simonov, are
considered in the context of a, hypothetical, quark-quark `scattering process'
in the Regge kinematical region. In a computation wherein the non-perturbative
input enters as a correction to established perturbative results, a careful
treatment of infrared divergencies is shown to imply the presence of an
effective propagator associated with the existence of a linear term in the
static potential. An equivalent statement is to say that the modified gluonic
propagator receives contribution from a tachyonic ghost state, an occurence
which is fully consistent with earlier such suggestions made in the context of
low energy QCD phenomenology.
