Also they played celtic last season and only went out after they got two men sent off at the girodome and typically celtic got a last minute penalty.

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Kleinheiser plays for Astana (on loan from Werder Bremen). He looked good in the Euros for Hungary Hopefully they can cause an upset Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember didn`t Astana win the first leg the other year 2-0 then lose at Paedo park 3-0. If so, it could be helpful having the game away first to shut up shop like Rosenborg and then try and beat them in Kazakhstan. And hope for a Sunderland referee.

The Monk 3,207 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Actually looking at their European record, they are really difficult to beat at home. Decent results against the likes of Galatasaray, BATE, APOEL, Legia and Olympiakos at home in recent years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a recent CL pedigree and are totally underestimated as they are a relatively new club. That mob rode their luck over there recently and could have been destroyed on the day.

Comparing squads alone I'd have said Rosenborg look better but Astana's record is quite impressive, would love it if the Tims have to go to Kazakstan needing a win.

If they don't want the UK flag / British Association, then they can't claim to be the 'first British club to win Champions league' or whatever... Absolutely m8. They'll always play their own pathetic, self-perceived "dual-nationality" card when it suits them. Maybe we should just add schizophrenia to their growing list of problems.

The Specky Forum Organiser 64,725 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Obviously don't know much about them but they've had some decent results over the last few years and that'll be a nightmare travelling wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 64,725 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 lol West Ham, Celtic, Fulham and Brighton are weighing up a move for Lorient striker Abdul Majeed Waris. The Ghana international, who had trials with Manchester City as a teenager, is available for around £9m. Waris came to England when he was 17 on a student visa from the Right to Dream Academy and studied at Hartpury College in Gloucestershire while playing at the Nike academy.

Surely we're not at that stage yet where young folk can't remember the name of the European Cup and refer to it simply as 'the old competition'. It was a better competition, by the way.
