Europa group stages

[cushynumber 25,178]

the main thing is getting to the groups. Anything after that is a bonus.

I meant Malmo ?

[The Monk 3,208]

I think we'd be quite a surprise package and not a side many will want to draw but pressure is off a little bit really as making the group itself was our biggest challenge. 

Europa League always has some bizarre results so wouldnt dismiss us in any group, remember Southampton and Inter Milan failing to qualify from a group whilst Hapeol Beer Shiva (?) And Bratislava went through iirc.

Glamour ties are all very well but I want a group that gives us the best chance of making the knock out stages.

[Prso's headband 35,712]

I’d like an English team and two not so glamorous ties to give us a great chance of going through

[Muz333 361]

I want the easiest possible group as don’t forget there’s a bonus €570,000 per win and €190,000 per draw in the groups. Then if we finish runners up that’s another €500,000 and again another €500,000 for reaching the last 32. Throw in ticket sales which we’d sell out without the need for glamour ties, TV deals and we could look to really bolster our January transfer budget.

Would love an AC Milan draw alongside Arsenal/Chelsea. 

Atmosphere will be electric whoever we play. Begging we beat the Russians again or at least get a draw.

lol.

I'm only going to start dreaming and getting over excited about 5pm next Thursday. It will be so good if we make it. So good. 

[RossS1873 1,684]

Some really good teams in pots 1 2 and 3. Would make for interesting groups as (should we get there of course) I think us and Red Star would be the teams in pot 4 the rest would want to avoid.

[A.T.G 10,773]

This thread gives me the fear

[stuart1994 4,329]

Think I’d rather have a shite winnable group than a shit hot group with big names.

I know we still have a big game ahead of us next week but if we do go into the group stages then how do the co-efficient points work as to what pot we would enter as UFA are currently down to go into pot 4. I know for this stage we took Maribors points which would take us into pot 3. What pot would we be in? 

You revert to your own coefficient for the group draw so we are pot 4 regardless of who we beat in qualifiers. Would be too complicated otherwise.

Ajax, Marsielle and Leipzig 

[plumbGER 24,518]

A big IF at the moment but if we qualify i would like some teams with decent pedigree but with a chance of getting something off of.

It will be great taking my boy along to see some decent standard European teams and of course watching Rangers competing with them under the floodlights.

Be a far cry from the only day he has ever slammed his seat up and asked to leave early, when Allys team succumbed to Annan Afuckingthletic at Ibrox.

He is now seeing what a real Rangers team looks like and is loving every minute of it.

I pity your boy if he does not remember at least a Champions League team with some quality, at least a lot of us had the pleasure of the 9iar team romping about the place like they owned the gaff.

Also Anderlecht and Genk wont happen...both from Belgium.

[B1872 20,875]

Arsenal, Milan and Malmo would be class. The scum to get Chelsea would be good also so they get their cunts kicked in on and off the field. ??

Nope mate, not old enough to remember that.

He started getting really into football properly and Rangers daft when Jelavic rolled that ball over the line at Hampden, he would have been about 5 or 6.

He remembers the Rugby park Kilmarnock destruction to win the league but has had to keep watching it on youtube to give him the belief we could come back again.

That we are looking like doing it this season is a miracle tbh just hope we can continue as we have began this season.

[BillySastard 238]

This is stage 1 of getting back to normal if it happens.

Title number 55 and being back in the Champions League might not be as far away as it seemed at the end of last season.

It is going to be one of the great stories of our club through our history if we do get 55 for the gaffer this year, I am a bear through and through but even I had doubts the team would gel so well so early. It makes it even sweeter that Brenda seems to be fucking the tims up like he did to Liverpool.

[Wil198 17]

Seems like a lot of our fans would prefer a nice destination with their mates rather than what's best for our club.

We're not ready for some of the best in Europe. Let's get an easy group and protect our confidence.

Yes mate it will be truly remarkable and in my near 40 years it will be the best and most emotional yet, hands down.

I don't pay particular attention to them but recently it is obvious that Rodgers is losing it and blaming everybody he can to deflect from his own shortcomings, I really think Steven Gerrard has unnerved him and has the mental edge over him even if he has a substantially weaker budget to compete. This mental edge seems evident in the 2 teams early season performances and results imo.
