EL draw

[daviecooperisalegend]

Wolves is the big one, you would have said Frankfurt but they have just sold their two best players so that would up our chances. Torino, Feyenoord and Sparta Prague (put Seville out last year) all dangerous too. The odds of getting a decent draw are high though.

It was Slavia Prague that knocked Seville out last year

 

[rossgers]

anyone after torino would be good,even then, all of them have european experience

A lower seeded team means a better chance of getting through but unseeded and a harder draw in Q4. Malmo or Partizan would be perfect. Would see us seeded in Q4 if we got through and avoid the better teams like last year.

 

[Blue Goose]

Do seeded teams get a home draw first?

 

[JD1872]

So if we beat a team in the 3rd round that would have been seeded in the final playoff do we take their seed?

 

[thornhill bear]

Can we get past Progres first please, before we start deciding who we would like in future rounds

Sorry Da.
Didn’t mean to get all excited about football.

ok then

 

[Calum955]

We’d give any of those teams a game. I’d fancy us to beat all of them except Wolves.

 

[ICA_86]

Wolves are the only team I wouldn't expect us to beat over two legs tbh.

Do we steal their seeding for the playoff again?

That’s mental if you honestly believe that.

 

[Gramps1]

I think we could be lucky: Partizan Belgrade, Molde, Rijeka, Legia....in the middle: Espanyol, Gent, Braga....unlucky: Eintracht, Feyenoord.

Espanyol would be cracking.
Lloret would be bouncing with bears

 

[Rangers500]

Can we get past Progres first please, before we start deciding who we would like in future rounds

The draw is Monday, before Progres.

 

[RenfrewBear72]

Take what we get, keep it tight away and then use Ibrox to put the absolute shitters up anyone we get.

 

[Laudrup97]

Probably done to death but if we reach the 3rd round and beat a seeded team do we acquire their Co-efficient for the next round + ours, to make us seeded for the 4th round?

 

[garytcrsc]

I thought this was just Spanish for "The Draw"

I thought it was a draw that the Earl of Leven was going to do.

 

[Blackpool Dave]

Will the draw be live on any tv stations.

Lucky it is Sparta Prague in the draw then

You're spot on mate!






It has indeed been done to death

 

[carlosapicella]

good thinking mate maybe prefer malmo between the two not the same team that beat us long time ago?

 

[Sasa-]

Legia Warsaw or Malmo would be the best draw imo. Beating either would get us sedded in the playoff round and I think we'd definitely be favourites against both.

 

[Laudrup12345]

Anybody know if it gets narrowed down in groups like previous rounds? Like we can get any1 of 5 or 6?

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Ideally it would be some terrible team with a high coefficient so we can take their seeding into the final round of qualifying.

Malmo would be perfect.

 

[DougieJones]

I’ve got bloody tickets for Echo and the Bunnymen at the Kelvingrove Bandstand on the 8th - are we definitely going to be at home on this date?

 

[Frank Burnside]

FCSB would be perfect, they’re coefficient is high due to good performances a few years ago, but recently they’ve been poor. Defnitely a winnable game & would possibly make us seeded for the 4th round?

 

[Marstonbear]

If it’s Feyenoord and u didn’t go in 2002, it’s an experience.

 

[Zizou]

Wolves are the only team I wouldn't expect us to beat over two legs tbh.

You would expect us to beat

give over will you christ sake

 

[Teddyjohn]

Wolves, Frankfurt, Espanyol and Feyenoord are the only teams I’d be really wanting to avoid at this stage. I’d be very confident of us beating anyone else on that list.

 

[BuffaloSoldier19]

Malmo please.

 

[Dave570]

Malmo or Partizan wouldnt be the end of the world either.

I have a feeling if we get through we will draw Feyenoord

I would love Feynoord but preferably in the group stages. It would probably be a high risk for crowd trouble as well and Rotterdam is not the nicest town to have a sash bash in.

 

[Wang]

I wouldn’t take anything for granted but agree those four are the ones to avoid.

 

[Dave570]

I’ve got bloody tickets for Echo and the Bunnymen at the Kelvingrove Bandstand on the 8th - are we definitely going to be at home on this date?

Imagine admitting that!

 

[Mols 9]

It just depends who is drawn out first so it is 50/50

 

[rossgers]

Anybody know if it gets narrowed down in groups like previous rounds? Like we can get any1 of 5 or 6?

Yes 5 groups of 10 or 12 teamd split into seeds and non seeds No idea if these are decided before the draw on monday.

 

[DougieJones]

Imagine admitting that!

Eh! What’s wrong with this band? I’ll see you in the Lounge!

 

[Polar bear]

Some tough teams in there, bit of luck needed in the draw.

“Luck”what’s that ?

 

[DougieJones]

It just depends who is drawn out first so it is 50/50

Cheers, thought the seeded team has precedence, ie home in second leg.

[Kellybrooksjugs]

Legia Warsaw or Malmo would be the best draw imo. Beating either would get us sedded in the playoff round and I think we'd definitely be favourites against both.

Both would be anything but easy, 2 tricky ties

 

[london_bluenose]

I will definitely miss 1 of the legs of this tie as I'm at a festival. Would be gutted if that was a trip to Molineux for example.

 

[Sasa-]

Both would be anything but easy, 2 tricky ties

Not saying they would be easy but for what we want they'd be ideal and they get us seeded in the playoff round.

Legia are way below the level they were a couple of years ago, they lost the league to a team that plays Tom Hateley and the Polish league hasn't been great in Europe as a whole recently. Malmo would probably be a similar level to Maribor last season.

 

[rangeral]

So if we beat a team in the 3rd round that would have been seeded in the final playoff do we take their seed?

Probably done to death but if we reach the 3rd round and beat a seeded team do we acquire their Co-efficient for the next round + ours, to make us seeded for the 4th round?

Depends on Monday who we are drawn against

Say Feyenoord then when Play-off draw is done on Monday 5th August it would be Feyenoord/Rangers as they are the higher seeded side - we don't actually get any of the coefficient etc

But

Say Wolves/Crusaders then if it would either

Wolves/Rangers or Rangers/Crusaders

If the 2nd one - Rangers/Crusaders then we are unseeded for the Play-off round as it goes our seeding which 5.025

Just example

Anyone down to Wolves/Crusaders gives us a chance of been seeded for the Play-off round

Any idea if we will get put into groups again and if so when will we know?

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

would love to draw feyenoord for the 3rd round

I wouldn’t mate. Second worst ever away fans I’ve ever seen at Ibrox in all of my years

 

[rangeral]

Yes

UEFA have done the Champions Path groups for their EL QR3 draw on Monday but nothing yet posted for us

Released on the Monday morning last year

 

[hawkfalcons]

I’d take Malmo in the third round. Another stop on the post - 2011 revenge tour.

Plus we take their seeding for round 4.
