The Europa Cup draw - Rangers v Bayern Leverkeusen

[CharlotteNCBear]

Pull yer panties up gents, we’ll turn them over!

 

[derek145]

Who do we fancy in the Quarters?

 

[cockney gers boy]

Cologne I think

yeah seems it mate. only about 18 miles from stadium it looks. cheers mate.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Tough but they'll never have encountered anything like a bonkers Ibrox.

Apart from the last time they played us ?

 

[ElMo]

What are you all worried about?

We will pump them!

 

[cw3038]

Tough ask,but why not.

 

[Neilstonger]

Any tie against a German side in the later stages of European competition is tough. But if there’s a better place to visit and watch football than Germany I’ve yet to find it. Come what may, brace yourself Leverkusen, the Bears are coming!

 

[brain]

They are not any better than Braga, way off the pace in Bundesleague. At this stage you have to be confident. Bring it on.

Bizarre comment mate. What table are you looking at? They are only 6 points off a world class Bayern Munich side and are on excellent form.

 

[Danger Zone]

They ar

They are not any better than Braga, way off the pace in Bundesleague. At this stage you have to be confident. Bring it on.

Six points off top spot in the Bundesliga. If they’re way off the pace then what the hell are we?!

 

[bazzasboots]

Istanbul Bakshakshir v Copenhagen
Olympiakos v Wolverhampton Wanderers
Rangers v Bayern Leverkeusen
Wolfsburg v Shaktar
Inter Milan v Getafe
Sevilla v Roma
Frankfurt or Salzburg v Basel
LASK Linz v Manchester United

I would have taken that before the draw

 

[TheLoyalDug]

Brilliant draw, home first as well

Bring it on!

 

[Samba Si]

Just looked at their recent form and they are on fire, just a pity it will end when we fck them oot.

Braga were the same and we know how that ended

 

[McQueen]

If you want to win it, you've got to beat the best.

Bring it on.

 

[Sandbear]

Tough and unglamorous, but none of us expected to be here in July. It’s winnable if the Rangers of Wednesday turns up.

 

[rfc1952]

I wonder if they are feeling they got a tough draw by getting The Rangers.

 

[Bonni Ginzburg]

Just like Braga.

True but they are next level compared to Braga. Very tough.

 

[Crimson Star]

we will go into the tie as massive under dogs, which will suit us, we have a chance, a slim one but with a little bit of luck we can do it

 

[bjorklund-by-the-sea]

5th best team in Germany is nothing to be fearful of.

few big teams will be going out so if we qualify the whole competition opens up.

 

[Nerf Herder]

They are getting spanked just like in 1998

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

so, nearest airport for this please anyone. will book a flight now and do the rest later!

Cologne or Düsseldorf

 

[TQ3]

A good draw for this team. We play better against better opposition. Leverkusen will test us, but we will prevail. Mon the Teddy Bears.

 

[Rio Loyal]

Not sure that is accurate mate. I think our more recent record is pretty good overall.

I hope so but it’s going to be a hard task I think .

 

[Bonni Ginzburg]

I wonder if they are feeling they got a tough draw by getting The Rangers.

They are German and will not be giving a fcuk

 

[Mols 9]

Are we home or away first?

 

[Northampton_Loyalist]

I have looked at pretty much every stage of this campaign and thought 'well, that could have been better...'

We have come through absolutely every stage of this campaign.

Tough, very tough tie, but so was the last one and so will the one after this be.

We absolutely have a chance.

 

[randomhero]

Ouch lol tough one but can't wait for it!

 

[Moz]

They are 6pts off the league leaders in Germany.

Aye just saw that. Was going off previous seasons.

 

[Drumchapel]

Tough, tough match. Would've loved a glamour tie but hopeful we'll get Man Utd in the quarters

Every tie with Rangers is a glamour tie

 

[Partickger]

2 points behind Dortmund, 6 behind Bayern, miles ahead of Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Going to be very tough.

 

[Awaydays72]

Leverkusen will be gutted getting drawn against the best team left in the competition.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Dragovic, Tah, Wendall, the Benders, Aranguiz, Baumgartlinger, Weiser, Demirbay, Havertz, Volland, Alario, Bellarbi, Bailey...

 

[Business_Bear]

I just don't find ties against German sides very interesting tbh, they're typically efficient sides would rather have got Man U or Wolves however, I've not seen us play any English team other than Man U in Europe (Too young to remember the Leeds tie).

 

[andygray]

They will be tough but bearable, they are no Bayern Munich!

They beat Bayern in Munich in the league !

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

They're not way off the pace at all, they're sitting fifth and only 6 points off the top.

One of the teams I wanted to avoid but hey ho, let's go!

Started shite but have really come onto a game. Saw them beat Dortmund recently.

 

[dbear]

Just a bit of fun

[Stuhercules]

Leverkusen are a fkn excellent team. I watched them a couple of weeks ago v Dortmund and was well impressed .

 

[Klos 1]

Still can’t wait for it now the atmosphere that night is going to be electric. We are the underdogs that suits us.

 

[servicepoint]

They'll not be over the moon with the draw!

They better sort out their defence too as we will take goals off them.

 

[Ted Rangers]

This will be another tough challenge if we beat Bayern and progress I believe we are going to the final. WATP

Do we have to play Bayern as well as Leverkusen!?

 

[Samba Si]

Yeah, they just beat Bayern away and Dortmund at home in recent weeks

Means little, Braga had beaten Porto, Benfica and Sporting recently

 

[NHAMPTON_BEAR]

Tough one but at this level they all are. Let’s go Rangers

 

[El Chico de Natura]

We’ll smash these mugs.

 

[bobbyger]

Hopefully I can get tickets from my Brother or Sister in law. He works for Bayer Leverkusen (The firm not the club) and they are able to get tickets. I will try and scrounge one from them. it will be in the Leverkusen end but hey, beggars cant be choosers.

 

[dublinbluenose]

We tend to do well against German teams.were in the last 16 so chances are you are going to get a very good side.so let’s embrace it and bring it on

 

[Yeti_Hunter]

Tough tie but not impossible imo. They don't seem to keep many clean sheets. Only 2 out of 9 games since the winter break.

Lokomotiv beat them away in the Champs League and Russian teams don't tend too travel well. If we play at our best, we've got a decent chance.

 

[JD1872]

This will undoubtedly we a step up in class compared to anything else faced.

Will drawing a big German team mean more TV revenue?

 

[hms]

We beat a Portuguese team and German team in 2008
Just saying

 

[Dave Angell]

Don't know much about Leverkusen, assume it will be our toughest test yet.

But we've been underdogs pretty much all the way through this tournament, and our players seem to be rising to the challenge when the pressure is off, so who knows.

 

[dynamo_rosco]

They are German and will not be giving a fcuk

Of course they won't
