This will never be allowed to happen.

I'm predicting a "fast track visa" situation will happen.

If we do progress due to an admin/visa error then it's truly the season of Karma..

I'm probably too cynical after the years of bad shit coming our way...

It would be good for the players to have a free week before the scum game...but I just don't see it being allowed..

Would the Russians not just retaliate by refusing/delaying our visas for the away leg ? 

The game would already have been forfeited by then.

I’d gladly gift Rangers the ticket money for this to happen 

I can’t see the Russians not getting a visa but was going to say the same thing and ask others, would they allow the club to keep their ticket money ?

I would.

It would be a sore one for the away fans who have booked and would have no issue with my cash going to them towards flights, hotels etc

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

Bloody snowflakes that don’t like getting a bye. 

If the can’t get their visa then that’s their fault not ours. So roll on a bye and into the group stages. 

[Strathaven_Loyal 125]

In most cases I’d prefer to go through on merit, but in this instance with the game against the bheasts on the Sunday after the trip to Russia this would be a god send. 

[6superbarry6 14,159]

Surely they’d only be forfeiting the first leg and not the tie so we’d be awarded a 3-0 win,not that I can see it happening anyway

You just woke up mate?? Late night last night  ?

[shaka 1,674]

It's not our fault.  They should've shown a bit more belief in themselves and applied in advance for U.K. visas.  Now they're worrying about fast tracking their applications even quicker.  If their visas are issued quicker than normal folk applying at the same time, using the same processes, then that is a disgrace!

[Jb85 1,783]

Hahahahaha if it happened then we beat them on the Sunday they would think conspiracies hahahahaha

[Creampuff 22,628]

Genuinely not convinced they’ll be here. 

They still haven’t filed the appropriate paperwork for a process which takes 5 days. Even if it gets approved within 48 hours they’ve not got a huge amount of time to get the players in Glasgow before the game.

I've not read any of the links or that tbh but would they not just record the first leg as a 3-0 win , why would they be kicked out the tournament completely , or am I being a mongo (happens a lot)

I just assumed the first leg would go down as a 3-0 win , has this ever happened before ?

[.Williamson. 82,220]

That'd be class and if we beat the taigs it'd be clear that the footballing world is out to get them

[Bydo 3,215]

This is the sort of thing that would definitely have happened to us under Whyte/Green/Llambias etc.

You dont show up for the first leg your out, or you would have clubs who don’t fancy the trip just not showing and taking the 3-0 defeat.

Good point I hadn't thought about that mate 

[Broxi 11,484]

Shite way to go through but if it means we aren't in Russia 3 days before on Old Firm match I'd take it 

[bigblueyonder 11,156]

Hard to believe someone at Ufa never thought after the first leg that getting visas in case we went through might have been a good idea.

UEFA rules state that the team responsible for a match not taking place are disqualified.

Rules are rules tbh and the gate money will be worth the hit if we are guaranteed group stage money. 

I would love this to happen. It would mean no long trip before the celtic game aswell.

Would you be saying rules are rules if the first leg had been in Ufa and it was us that were unable to get Russian visas in time and were getting put out that way.
