beararse 6,475 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Surely you want to play against the best. Just because we got an absolute spanking this season doesn’t mean it will happen again next time round. CL qualification might also help persuade a better.l calibre of player with several offers on the table to choose Rangers.

Can't have them raking in that and us missing out. Bad Robot, The No.9 and beararse 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is in the 3rd round @Bronzy As it stands (assuming highest seeds go through): Union SG (potentially Antwerp or Genk depending on league finish) Sturm Graz Dnipro (potentially Zorya depending on league finish) Backa Topola Servette (or potentially Lugano depending on league finish) and Panathinaikos are unseeded in the second round and could replace Union SG or Dnipro in that list if they beat them.

Ross-Gazza genius 1,930 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Psv started the season well and then hit a run of poor results before going on a run again but the damage was pretty much done. There's rumours that veerman and Simons will be leaving them this season so they might be going through a transition along with a new manager. 8 minutes ago, The Godfather said: Will be basically a new team this time around so we need to hope we hit the ground running from the off.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Our coefficient means that we are a seeded team for the qualifiers so every chance of making the group stages again. A kinder draw than last season with the goal of finishing 3rd and the parachute into the knockout stages of the Europa does not seem like an impossible dream.
