And then you're landing in Edinburgh. Edinburgh to London ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brubear 2,920 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 13 minutes ago, Bad Robot said: Yes the flight time is about 7 hours or 5 from Moscow and surely they won’t do a training session after a flight You could be right even an early morning flight with a 2 hour time difference in their favour they would get to hotel in Glasgow at noon at best. They could then get say 6 hours sleep and then have an evening training session, but as you say not ideal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on commercial flights with the Rangers team a number of times in the past. Not that I was guest of honour or anything, I just happened to be on the same flight! I don't think clubs just charter flights willy nilly if they can get away with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it's a surreal feeling waiting on the baggage carousel with Andy Goram to one side of you and Mark Hateley to the other, all resplendent in their club ties and blazers. That being said this was always at major European destinations like Amsterdam and Athens so maybe they would make alternative arrangements for something more remote.

Hopefully they do for this one, on the way back at least. Would of happily went through on a forfeit tbh, due to the old firm a few days later/ the amount I spend on a European night at Ibrox with taxis, drink etc. It's good for the fans that have booked up for the away leg already, though. Imagine booking up for a place like Ufa, and either being £££s out of pocket, or having to take a pointless trip there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to Russia in the past which is how I know about having to change at Frankfurt. Really knocked it out of me by the time I was home, can't imagine playing an old firm after that trek. The visa was no hassle though, I dropped off my passport at the Embassy in Edinburgh first thing in the morning and collected it after lunch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

miracle 7,799 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Didn't we play Vladivostok under Souness which is almost as far East as Japan? The tie was played in Germany if I remember correctly, how on earth that's a European tie even by UEFA standards is anyone's guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withdrawing an individuals media access doesn't have the same purpose as outright banning an entire media outlet. If McLaughlin wants to attend Ibrox he can pay his way in (like some of his colleagues do). I was trying for flippant ( hence the ) but being a good pendant you responded pedantically Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can somewhere in Russia be as Far East as Japan if Japan is a group of islands in the sea? ? do you maybe mean China? theres bits of Kazakhstan which are bordering China to be fair.
