B1872 20,441 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Easiest tie possible for me. Someone like Molde or Maccabi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 34,990 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Hopefully we get a semi easy tie with not much travelling. The next round is in between the league being full throttle at that point and the last thing I’d want is us going to Russia or the like whilst that mob sit in the house Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
molesmole 990 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Nice Western Europe or Even English Tie, Less Travelling and more Glamour. We done what we needed to and got through the Groups and with a game to spare which is amazing. Our Euro adventures have been amazing 👏 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanFerguson2013 393 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 On balance we would like an easier team in the next round followed by an English Premier team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Shaw 30,135 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Anybody everybody, some good teams in the draw but we’re also a good team and anything can happen in the knockout rounds. If we get beat it’s not the end of the world and we can then concentrate on bagging the domestic treble. 👊🏼 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIRB_72 3,928 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 So after looking at who can finish first and second in the groups and what CL teams you can get depending on what place we finish in I think it would be massively beneficial for us to finish first. Right now it feels like we can beat anyone but I'd much rather get the "easiest" tie as possible in the last 32. Beat Lech Poznan and hopefully Spurs beat Royal Antwerp, Leverkusen beat Slavia Prague and AZ beat Rijeka. If that happens we could be looking at Young Boys, Molde, Slavia Prague, PSV/Granada, AZ, Braga, AC Milan, Maccabi/Sivasspor, Antwerp, Woflsburger, Red Star, Krasnodar, Salzburg, Dynamo Kiev & Olympiakos. Now in all honesty out of that list there are only three or four (max) that would be a tough draw. If we finish second there is much more potential for us to face sides from the top 4 or 5 leagues!

I looked at this last night and posted that there is a huge advantage in terms of the draw if we win the group, never mind the money. Get it done Rangers.

Rum Ham 2,051 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Man U pumped Leipzig 5-0 not long ago. If it was a knockout tie over two legs they would have went through with a 4 goal margin. That's against a team who are 1 point behind in the Bundesliga, and finished two places above a team that strolled it against us. They blow hot and cold and are one to definitely avoid imo.

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 To be the best we have to play the best - it can only be good for us, our ambition is not the Europa league every year but the Champions League every year.

Hopefully Braga beat Zorya tonight, we win and the scum get a draw as that would put us back ahead of Ukraine. Then it's us trying to outscore DK and Shakhtar. If those results occurred tonight and we were to draw Molde/Tel Aviv and Kiev get Spurs/United and Shakhtar draw AC Milan. I think we would be in a good position to steal that 11th spot. Can only hope! I love a bit of conjecture when it comes to European draws and coefficients 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only hope! The journey's not that bad mate. Done Kiev before fairly recently and it's a quality city. Easily one of the best I've been to. From memory it was only about 3 hours from London and it was a canter. No difference than to maybe Lisbon or Malaga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't want to play in those freezing conditions. I think it was a November time I was there so in the winter and it wasn't too bad but aye there's always a risk of it being snow and minus 10 or something but I think we'd cope.

Jimbob1983 3 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Easiest tie possible please. We can play a prestige tie in the later rounds when hopefully fans are allowed in to cheer us on, Gdansk will be rocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some probably will tbh mate. Every single season when the qualifiers are announced you get folk in our support saying "don't care about Europe this year" etc etc. Some of my best ever times as a Rangers supporter is these European nights and that's before getting started on the prestige and additional income etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
