every single team in group 2 and 3 would give us a game
Midtjylland wouldn't. They've fallen off a cliff this year. But Silkeborg in pot 4 might, they have made a good start to the season.

I’d take Malmo, Ferencvaros and USG thank you very much.
Realistically if worst comes to worst on Wednesday we should have no issues finishing 1st in these groups.
As much as not getting CL would be hard to take, I think we could go far again in the EL.
I must admit, there’s something really good about seeing Rangers FC in pot 1
Only money mate. Life is for living.If you're a millionaire.
Spot on pal. You can't take it with you.Only money mate. Life is for living.
Stop it, I just got goosebumps at the thought we could be a regular later rounds side in EuropeIs it true that if we end up in the EL and we finish first we skip the last 32 or the play off as they call it now and go straight into the last 16?
Im obviously desperate for the CL but silver lining is that if we could finish first in the EL and straight into the last 16, that would be very exciting again. A favourable draw or two and before you know it it’s the last 8 or the last 4.
Typical Scottish football supporter as usual not respecting our opponents in Europe and downplaying the competition like it should be easy for us.

Hopefully Hearts can turn that tie around, really would like to see another club in the europaMalmo/qarabag, ferencvaros and Zurich would provide us absolutely no issues what so ever.
and nice are in the conference leagueMonaco and Nice are from same country.
What CL pot will we be in?
NiceMonaco and Nice are from same country.
Not really mate, these teams are downsizing massively and I wouldn’t fear anyone of those teamsRangers
Qarabag
Ferencvaros
Silkeborg
18 points a possibility.
Rangers
Olympiacos
Real Betis
Trabzonspor
Different prospect altogether.
This is why I was baffled about people laughing at Celtic for playing in the ECL and saying there's no chance of us being in it in the near future. It's entirely possible, there were some solid groups in the past years.Yup, could pick a tough group out of those pots if we were to land there and be unlucky.
There is no chance we will risk being put out early because we field a weakened side.I want the easiest group possible so we can rest players in the EL and concentrate on the SPFL during the group stages.
We lost home and away due to being unprepared and being absolutely dung from the start of last season till a new manager came in.Typical Scottish football supporter as usual not respecting our opponents in Europe and downplaying the competition like it should be easy for us.
We lost home and away last season to one of the teams from Pot 2 and are not even a month out from losing 2-0 away to one of the teams in Pot 4 and giving ourselves a real battle to get through.
We barely got through the group last season!
"No issues finishing 1st". Completely delusional.
How have you came to that conclusion thenAnything less than the EL final again this year will be considered failure on here.
Nothing surer.
"No issues finishing 1st"
Ffs man!
Ever seen a match thread?How have you came to that conclusion then
If we end up in the europa league with them it would mean less money as the tv share would be split, get them out!Hopefully Hearts can turn that tie around, really would like to see another club in the europa
Haha aye yer right I thought u meant this thread in general.Ever seen a match thread?
For me, CL qualification means it's a successful European campaign. (As long as we don't get humiliated in the group stages).Anything less than the EL final again this year will be considered failure on here.
Nothing surer.
Are you taking bets on Rangers finishing first regardless of the draw given your confidence. How much?

There is no arguing that, under Gerrard, we were extremely poor in qualifying and the early part of the group stages last season. Gio came in and we went on to finish 2nd in the group and reach the final beating far superior teams to those we earlier lost to, which you strangely omitted from your post, playing some of the best football I've ever seen us play. USG away Gio got the team and tactics spectacularly wrong, he corrected it at home and we made history overturning a 2 nil first leg deficit for the first time ever.Typical Scottish football supporter as usual not respecting our opponents in Europe and downplaying the competition like it should be easy for us.

cant really be arsed with Thursday/Sunday games ……plus the drop in potential revenue
Not to mention the club coefficient points for better share of TV money and extra money for winning groupThere is no chance we will risk being put out early because we field a weakened side.
You missed a comma, after 'stop'.You forgot your full stop dear.
You have to factor in travel.Best:
Rangers
Qarabag
Ludogorets
Silkeborg
Worst:
Rangers
Monaco
Betis
Sturm Graz maybe?
Fingers crossed for another good run.
And if we finish first we skip a round and go straight to round of 16! Only downside is one less full house of ticket money.

If we had won the Europa league we would of been Pot 1 in the champions league. Imagine that.
