Draw: €190,000
Group winner: €1,000,000
Runner-up: €500,000
• qualification for the round of 32: €500,000 

• qualification for the round of 16: €1,000,000

• qualification for the quarter-finals: €1,500,000

• qualification for the semi-finals: €2,400,000

• qualification for the final: €4,500,000

• The UEFA Europa League winners can expect to collect an additional €4,000,000
The two clubs that qualify for the 2018 UEFA Super Cup can each expect to receive €3,500,000, with the winners receiving an additional €1,000,000
 
Between that and gate/television money it's imperative we do well here. There's millions of pounds to be made.
 

8 games before the groups is just horrendous 
 

Friendly reminder that the mob from Croatia who we will play in the second round beat PSV home and away last season.

You obviously don’t when you are saying to me I said a season ago that I wanted the manager who’s guided a team above us twice past two years, to get us second, a year ago to have 1 year consolidation and Dave King to come good with his investment promises and progress from that and eventually stop 10 in a row - that’s the context that you’ve left out 
past month or two you’ve turned into a complete wank on here - dunno if like dan deacon your sperm count is non existant or your stressed at work but you’ve turned into a total wank - maybe get the old you back one day 

Brenda will jump ship to the EPL if we hit the ground running and it just all clicks into place. They really are nothing special and have taken advantage of the bizarre situation we've been in.
We were the top scorers in the league last season and although we finished 12 points from 1st, I can see things becoming very tasty if we are clear at the top come Christmas.
Let's fucking do this.

I just hope we afford him the patience he deserves. He needs at least one or two seasons to learn his trade. He needs bad results, he needs bad press, he needs to build his team over a couple of seasons.
Then, hopefully he delivers us years of success.

Rangers news: Steven Gerrard reveals why he turned to football management
After hanging up his boots following an illustrious playing career, the Liverpool legend could have moved into the TV studio and chatted about teams winning three points rather than worry about winning them himself.
But having joined Liverpool at the age of eight, gone full-time at 16 and been made captain of the Anfield giants at just 23, Gerrard has been immersed in football his whole life.
And he relishes the stress and worry of delivering results, trying to land trophies and silverware.
In his early 30s, the notion of becoming a manager grew stronger.
Now he is taking his first steps in management as the Rangers boss, but the 38-year-old has been preparing for this role for years.
Asked when knew he wanted to go into management, Gerrard said: “Probably around 32 or 33, while I was still playing, because I love the game. 
“Football has been a big part of my life. From 16 to 36 it was all that I knew – full-time football, being around top players, top managers. That’s where the education began.
“Towards the end of my career I knew I wouldn’t really be able to just walk away and go into anything else, because football is all I know.
“This is what I’ve craved since I came out of a playing kit. 
“I craved that responsibility, that pressure, that three crucial points at the weekend. The highlights of staying in cup competitions.
“Looking back at my playing career now, I feel as if I should have maybe played on for one more year.
“Not for the lifestyle in America, for the actual buzz of playing football. 
“I went there because I knew my Liverpool days were coming to an end and I knew emotionally I would have found that tough, because I used to love every single day going in and representing that club.
“So, I’d have played on for football reasons, but my wife got pregnant while I was out there in the MLS and it just made sense to come back home.”
Gerrard has already secured seven signings for Rangers. Allan McGregor has returned to the club and will compete with Wes Foderingham for the No 1 spot, while Scott Arfield has joined on a free and Jamie Murphy’s loan deal was made permanent.
Liverpool youngster Ovie Ejaria has arrived on loan while defenders Connor Goldson, Jon Flanagan and Nikola Katic are also new faces.
The Gers have also been linked with a loan move for 21-year-old Roma striker Umar Sadiq.
Having been handed the captaincy at Anfield in his early 20s, Gerrard grew into the role as team leader and believes he will be similar in management.
He said: “There wasn’t a stand-out moment. I just had that feeling. I think when I became Liverpool captain at 23, I accrued the responsibility of being a leader. And I really like that man-management side of it.
“It wasn’t natural at the beginning at 23. I probably became captain a bit too soon. 
“I took over from Sami Hyypia and there were a lot of older players around the squad, I had to grow into the role.
“Management is something that I will try and grow into, mould into and improve. I don’t want to stand still.”
Gerrard has picked up bits from managers he’s worked under at club and country and will use that as he embarks on his Rangers career.
He said: “I had been speaking to them many times, bending their ear, with many questions on how they find their roles. Trying to take things they do and try and use them as well.
“I’ll take the best things I like, the impact they’ve had on players and try and use them in my favour going forward.
“I’m also very lucky to have the responsibility and get this role so soon. I started my coaching badges in my early 30s and I’m nearly over the line to become qualified.
“Now it’s just about experience – getting that experience, growing and improving. 
“And that’s the reason why I’ve chosen the staff around me as well because I know they’ll be a great support for me.
“Whether you are a football manager or player, you learn from the good and bad.”

The man certainly has his feet on the ground and his head held high. 
WATP

I hated it when he rattled on about pitch geography.
The pitch is a fucking rectangle! Geography lesson over.

I hated that The Apprentice bullshit he would come out with.
 

If SG proves to be gold this season with the players he has brought in and brought the best out of our current players from last season, the really decent players will then be lining up to join Rangers.  They will definitely want a piece of this pie regardless of Scottish Football being utterly tragic.  
Rangers has the potential to make Scottish football interesting again.  

Wise words, i like the way the bigger picture is shaping up around the club

Bunch of stupid Fochabers 

You tell the bastard mate get stuck right intae him

The OP now has the second worst post in this thread.
That was awful. Truly awful.

Best player on the pitch at Easter Road, hope he stays fit for the foreseeable future. 

Some of the comments in this thread are embarrassingly premature - probably like their authors ?
