Sign Tony Watt from Motherwell if we get Barca

A know 😂, they wheel out that result like some kind of trophy, would be good to actually have the chance to shove that back down their throats.

[Blue Viking 702]

Would love to get Barcelona.

[BuffaloUSAGers 1,228]

Barca seventh and plunging in La Liga. May be playing their last Champions League game for a while. Rangers should never fear a seventh place La Liga team.

[STEPPS BOY 73,790]

Folk thinking we’d beat Barca 

[VanVeenRangers 2,529]

I would love to draw Barca. At least 25,000 bears in the Nou Camp.

As before Sheriff all day long.

Maybe keen to avoid that part of the world in mid Feb

Barcelona really are shite.

They still have some really talented young players in De Jong, Gavi, Pedri, Fati etc... however they are not performing due to the multiple other factors at play. They are also surrounded by some absolute dross (relative to Barca's level) like Lenglet, Dost, Braithwaite etc... Their confidence is all incredibly low and all those add up to what is a terrible team.

Not to mention they have been trying to replicate Tika-Taka with a far inferior group of players, never mind the fact that Tika-Taka as a system is outdated, it was replaced with the German style high pressing, high energy, quick interplay and counter attacking football. Xavi might have had success as a manager playing that way but it ignores the fact it was in the Qatari league where he wouldn't have come up against a style of play like that. 

I honestly wouldn't be scared of them if we go into it with some semblance of our best form and a squad not decimated by the African Nations.

Course they would be heavy favorites coming in if we got them. 

But they are struggling right now and vulnerable. Weakest side they've had in years. 

Have a go at them and see what happens over 2 legs.

Depending on what fixtures they have either side of the games they will be focusing on getting into the top 4 to get champions league next season so they could be an ideal team to get

[joe_1991 17]

Barca won't be playing champions League football for a long time. 1.4 billion in debt and best player is Depay. 

Would be great to play them we have a chance and they are still a big club /prize scalp for us 

[STEPPS BOY 73,790]

Congratulations to Sevilla on winning Europa league.

[Assegai 7,566]

Do we have a final list now?

Them and Dortmund are the two I want to avoid the most.

Sevilla would be brilliant weather wise.

Chance to see Haaland at Ibrox.

As @Rangers_no1 says, EL winners get a CL spot so probably Barca’s best chance to get in, given how they’re playing in la liga

When’s the last time Barcelona played in the uefa cup?

When the tarriers knocked them out in 2004

[Brackley Bluenose 4,479]

Would not want to be playing Dortmund, thinking about Goldson defending against Haaland has made me break out in a sweat.

Tarriers beat them in the uefa cup in 2004, so it certainly wasn’t that long ago. 1-0 on agg.
