Quick look on Transfermarket has their entire squad valued at 24m; Rangers at about 120m. So should have more quality.

However, they've already played at least 4 competitive matches as their league has already started. That's a massive advantage for them.

Can't except much from a newly assembled squad like Rangers has, so be very tight.

Im afraid thats not how games are won. Ask the Hungarian and Swedish champions how they did against a team from Klaksvík, Faroe Islands (population 5000). There are no easy games and we should treat this like we did the semi against Leipzig.

Watched the highlights. Genk absolutely bombarded Servette, bit of a hit and run from the latter. Massive stroke of luck with their first equaliser. 

The Swiss do seem a tough nut to crack; well organised and can counter quickly. If we do our job right we should progress but so early in season with a team that not gelled yet, it's a banana skin for sure.

They've only lost 3 games since February, think this'll be a tougher tie than most of us are expecting. 

Think the way have been playing any team at this level is going to be a tough task.

They look decent in defence with a very low block, both of their goals were very fortunate. Their first one especially with a massive defelction but the Genk defence also made a cunt of the second as well.

Genk must be feeling sorry for themselves today for missing so many chances, they missed a few later on. Hopefully the atmosphere at Ibrox is too much for them.

Their No.99’s penalty was woeful.

Genk underestimated them and us. There captain was talking about already looking past us in the qualifiers 

Just like that baldy c and his teammates last season, it was a joy to Baldy C lose it at Ibrox in the return, trying to pick fights with Lundstram and others.

Lot of diving going on - by both teams.  

Servette will be a tough nut to crack , let's not forget they were a man down for over 120 minutes of football away to a decent team .

Yes, they are no mugs so organised to play with 10 men from the first five minutes and go 120minutes shows a real team spirit. They look a decent well structured team and all the players do their job well.

True, 11 vs 11, they may be more open, and with 10 men behind the ball a lot, Genk DID open them up quite easily. This will be no easy tie, but I am confident, that with a cauldron atmosphere, us on the front foot from the off and the quality we have, we will win this tie. Early goal imo, 3-0. No early goal, 2-0. Draw at least in Switzerland. The away tie, counterattack them with pace from the likes of Tav, Sima, Danilo.

For anyone looking for a decent return flight, I’m doing Lyon to Edinburgh on Wednesday morning - cost is just over £100 and can be reached if you get the first train out of Geneva at 5:15am.

Isn't the game on Wednesday night?
