Only team I’d be desperate to avoid is Dortmund, Barca/Leipzig/Atalanta would all be tough as well but tend to think %^*& it we’d give it a good go if we turned up - from a practical standpoint would also be a good gauge to see how we match up against a team of that level in preparation for what is hopefully our return to the Champions League next season.
Teams around the Porto/Zenit level very do-able, and Sheriff despite being undoubtedly ‘tricky’ are the obvious choice for easiest potential progression. Should be a good game whoever we get, either to have a good shout of reaching the last 16 or to test ourselves against some right good teams. Bring it on !

There are reasons for and against everyone.
Zenit - get revenge, but travel to furthest Russia.
Dortmund & Leipzig - glamour ties, but Germany are cutting allocations.
Barca - Speaks for itself, but Spanish police are cunts.
Sheriff - Probably the easiest draw (although they did beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu), but their stadium is shite, Moldova is far and their star man is a former Progres player.
Porto - We know we can beat them, but we just played them.
Benfica - see Porto.
Whoever we get I'm just happy we're there after a rotten start.

Torn between a glamour tie, or one of the 'easier' ones.
One thing I am certain of however is thank %^*& we aren't playing in that conference league.

their 3rd minute equaliser won me £365 ,,,,,,so i'd say its written in the stars we draw them
Sheriff’s stadium only holds 12,700. They would probably be the pick of the teams if you want to progress, but it would be a nightmare for tickets.

Bring on the Russian bastards zenit, I want them pumped after 2008. If not them then out of the current teams I’d like to avoid Dortmund and Leipzig

A glamour tie would be lovely but given the failure in the CL I think looking to have best chance of progression is the priority so the likes of Barca, Dortmund etc would be second choice to drawing a much lesser name.
Not Box Office perhaps but the campaign would be much more likely to continue and as we progress a glamour game is basically assured anyway so win-win.

Barcelona. Would imagine the interest in the EL from Barca fans would mean we could get as many tickets as we wanted for travelling bears.
Yip avoid, Leipzig are fantastic going forward.

Anyone else find it depressing that the we're going to be up against CL team with this new "play off" round.. is there anything left for UEFA to do to gear the competition for the bigger clubs?
Whatever happened to cup competitions being luck of the draw!
Any draw will be very hard

I don't find the possibility of facing Barca or Dortmund depressing at all.
Depressing is QotS in the challenge cup.

Sheriff would be some pain to get to.
I shot the sheriff.
Must be them. Best for me would be Dortmund. I could even get on a Dortmund supporters bus.

These threads always make me smile. In every other facet of our support of the Club the mantra ‘the Club comes first’ applies.
Start a thread about who we draw in Europe and the majority are focussed on what’s the best trip for them rather than what tie gives the Club the best chance of progression. Selfish.
Of course Sherif Tiraspol is the best draw as it represents the best chance of progression. Every other club in the draw with us will, like Rangers, be hoping to get Sherif.

They are an absolute mess. The fact that we might even be able to draw them should tell you that.

I'd fancy our chances against Barca over quite a few of the other sides like Dortmund, Leipzig, Atalanta and Sevilla.

No more than a hunch - but we'll get Zenit and after draws away and at home we'll knock them out on penalties.

Give us Barcelona
Love to get any German team but with there being stadium restrictions in place it would certainly be a worry if fans would even be allowed to attend come feb
Meeting them in the final would be better.
Fair enough. We'll get a good game, but would rather go deeper in the competition
