It 100% did There's not a chance the team that went to the Europa League final could become the worst team in Champions League history a mere 6 months later.

Sounds bad. But even worse to think we got put out champ league qualifiers by kaunas after manchester final. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a ridiculous statement the worst team in champions league history. Statistically conceded a lot of goals in the group. Don’t think that makes us the worst team in the history of the tournament. We have won games in the competition before. Tabloid rubbish that phrase. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact there’s 10 or so teams who’ve gone through the groups without a point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about overall in the history of the CL because obviously we wouldn't be bottom. I'm talking in a single seasons we are the worst or one of the 2.

Just can’t be bothered with our own fans trotting out the worst team in champions league history line. We’re not. We had a terrible campaign but as Rangers we reached the last 16 and inaugural group stages. So we are by far not the worst team in champions league history.

I think even Benfica mightve managed nil points one time. It was fuckin awful from us this season though, cant say i enjoyed the champions league experience one bit bar the first half hour v liverpool. Its a hell of a thing to be debating, "has anyone been as bad as us ". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not wrong to say this Rangers team is the worst ever. Which is what people are saying. We're not the worst club to have appeared in terms of overall performance, though. Not even nearly.

Tabloid rubbish that phrase. We are statistically the worse - no getting round that mate. Red Star I believe were one goal away from joining us and they've one the European Cup. If it was them, we'd be slagging them for the banter Oh and for what it's worth, we were shite this season and the loss to Liverpool was pathetic, especially after the first half. edit - perhaps a better way of putting it we have the worse record Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bydo 3,237 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Statistically, we are the worst performing team in the CL group history. That’s not the same as being the ‘worst team’, but the media do love a good headline. ElBufalo20 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a town of about 14,500 which is majority Hungarian (as is most of northern Serbia), their stadium only holds 4,500 and they’ve never played in Europe before so I reckon they’ll move it to Novi Sad (as has happened in the past with other teams in the area who have got into Europe), hopefully they use Vojvodina’s stadium which holds nearly 15,000 or there’s fuck all chance of getting a ticket ForeverAndEver 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d actually prefer to get Marseille if we go through, French teams generally underachieve massively in Europe and I think PSV would give us a tougher game. My only concern would be that they’ve had a few stadium closures recently, and I could see things getting a bit hairy for away fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
