LochendBilly 8,410 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 2nd and I would fancy us over 2 legs after that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchieshearercaldow 22,123 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I’ll say 3rd because we are not the finished article yet, as long as we don’t end up bottom, we’ve exceeded our expectations already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzalivesforever 1,987 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 7 points at home and we're in with a great chance imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersInCanada 7,775 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We go into it with the intention of finishing top. All 4 teams can take points off each other. I am happy to finish 2nd and move into the play offs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee-irvine 53 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 The Russians are about the same level as Maribor as shown in last years CL. Villarreal might rotate a bit so I think could end up being second with a bit of fortune. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Traive 22,723 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 First for me. All the games are too close to call (eg Spartak v Villarreal result could be absolutely anything) so we focus on ourselves, one game at a time. I trust SG and Gary Mac to do their homework and set us up with the best chance. Don’t think of it as a group, it is six individual matches to prepare for, fight and win. How do you think the other three teams will feel about facing the famous nine hombres? We are Rangers FFS Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueshoff 11,756 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Depends on if we are playing 11 v 11 ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
raging blue 1972 894 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Between 7 and 10 points I think - thing is looking at the group 7 could get you 2nd and 10 might not - I'll go for 2nd place Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,723 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Not a lot to fear when you look at some of the other teams we could have got. Why not first? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalfollower 1,543 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Well we’ve had 4 wins and 4 draws so far from 8. I’d say 8 points could get us a 2nd place finish. I think Villarreal are nailed on group winners and the Home form of us and the other 2 will see who gets 2nd. couldve been worse Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKnight87 17,281 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I think 2nd is possible. The home form will be vital need 7 out of 9. Anything away is a bonus and we have a team that has shown it can dig out results on the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I may get hammered for this but do you know what I don’t actually give a shite how we do.... we are there!!! It’s a platform we can build from here. I know for a given that one thing is for sure we won’t be embarrassed by anyone under this manager.

Thern85 28 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I think we'll advance from the group. Our europlay has been solid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoopsLaud 4,184 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Going for a pessimistic 3rd, dont think we are quite there yet. Hopefully new signings will see this opinion revised in the next 2 months. Obviously injuries and suspensions will be a huge factor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol loyal 6,248 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Just being in the groups stages again is an incredible achievement and anything else is a bonus. Having said that despite it being a tough group I don’t see any reason we couldn’t get 2nd if we’re at our best! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchammer 245 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Just so happy to have made the group stages. Might be third. Would love us to do better but being there is a start. Anything else is a bonus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 After what we've been through, will settle for 100 percent from every player, a boost for our prestige as a club and some money in the bank. Europa league is a huge bonus, domestic success is our priority Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McWeedy 28 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 It’s a tricky draw but we have a chance in all those ties. My big regret is that is that if we had the foresight to invest in a $2m flashing light show ahead of the games it would have made it significantly easier to get through the group. ?

KingKirk 25,618 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 The Russians are they still throwing money at there clubs. No seen spartak playing in years. Shocked to see them 3rd seeds tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Heart and Hand 8,949 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Second if not first. We will have had time to settle as a squad and none of those teams will have a crowd like ours behind them Tough games but i can see us winning our fair share Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebovril 110 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Villerreal are playing the night troops will probably Have a wee look on the net Might be able to gauge how good they are Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
denya 1,661 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 This game is on espn here so I will watch to see how they play. I do know Carlos Bacca best playing days are past. Will see what the other players are like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
