Potential opponents next

[Socrates]

This ^^^ Even though they won’t be easy but if had to hand pick we should be able to beat a Moldovan team over 2 legs ….. we can get the glamour tie in the next round

Save the glamour tie fir the final

 

[okbear]

Athletico and that means we’ve beaten both Madrid teams in same season

 

[Barryhopez]

RB Leipzig
Barcelona
Milan/at Madrid
Salzburg/sevilla
Dortmund
Sheriff
Zenit
Atalanta/Villarreal

Nay bother bring it on

Any cuunntt..........any cuunntt!!!!!!

(Arms outstretched, pavement dancing back and forward)

 

[TimzRFudz]

I'm back to thinking we can beat all of them

Together or one at a time mate?

Bring them on

 

[rfc_chris_rfc]

Would take sheriff or zenit. Maybe Barca since they seem incredibly shite this year

 

[steve1873]

Take Zenit and give them a wee bit of payback for 2008.

 

[top_cat]

Barcelona please. Just for the shits and giggles

 

[MearnsUnionist]

I'd shoot the sheriff thank you very much.

How's the deputy?

 

[tod1872]

Glamour game v Atletico Madrid would be nice. I've not seen them at Ibrox and a trip to their new stadium would be good.

 

[GazzaG]

17 & 24 February

Is the home and away set for these ties (all CL dropouts home first) or does it depend on the draw?

I'm sure I remember that being the case before.

 

[Al khobar-ger]

Villarreal,we are all of to Benidorm.

Again

 

[Sir Know it All]

An away day fans can go to please

 

[lwl]

Has Zlatan ever been honoured enough to face Rangers? Don't think so. Had a good career has the lad and that would be the cherry on top.

 

[ShieldhallBear]

Would happily take a glamour tie whist the scum travel away to the back of beyond in the diddy cup. Milan, Barca or A. Madrid would be class. Even Dortmund, let Haaland meet his physical match in big Calvin Bassey, if he doesn’t move to City or Liverpool in January. (Bassey that is.)

 

[cooperman]

don't think we'll beat any of those teams tbh

 

[MearnsBear]

don't think we'll beat any of those teams tbh

That's the spirit my man

 

[TheDerryend]

Any Spanish team will do me fine.

F**k that, we don't have a good record against the spanish. Portugal please as for some reason we always do a job against them.

 

[SilvioBerlusconi]

Be interesting to see Haaland at Ibrox

 

[Eighteen Seventy Two]

It’s time for another famous win at the Camp Nou.

 

[SilvioBerlusconi]

When is the draw?

Two weeks tomorrow #I think*

 

[Kbhblue]

Some great away days in there minus Zenit and Sheriff. Bring on the lot!

St. Petersburg and some random Soviet land that doesn't officially exist aren't great away days?

 

[Eugene Fraxby]

RB Leipzig
Barcelona
Milan/at Madrid
Salzburg/sevilla
Dortmund
Sheriff
Zenit
Atalanta/Villarreal

Nay bother bring it on

Most of the teams there are leaking goals this season so we certainly shouldn't be afraid of having a go.

 

[Business_Bear]

Sheriff please.

 

[Korova Milk Bar]

Dortmund Away would be a class trip.

 

[ForGodForCountryForever]

RB Leipzig
Barcelona
Milan/at Madrid
Salzburg/sevilla
Dortmund
Sheriff
Zenit
Atalanta/Villarreal

Nay bother bring it on

Barcelona, could it be?

Box Office Gold and what a narrative for Gio himself.

 

[Wee Dick's Hairnet]

Would take Porto tbh. Incentive for Morelos to put in a great performance over the two legs and maybe encourage Porto to stump up the £20m.

Win/win…

Have you considered we might get beat and Morelos plays shite? Then it’s a lose/lose.

 

[rangeral]

Is the home and away set for these ties (all CL dropouts home first) or does it depend on the draw?

I'm sure I remember that being the case before.

@GazzaG

Yes

Away 17th
Home 24th

 

[baselbear]

Barca please.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

That the standard of teams you want to face.

Not an easy draw in there. If that doesn’t get your juices flowing, nothing will.

No matter who we face, our manager will have us up for it. The sort of man he is.

 

[Wazza]

As the groups aren't finished yet, these are the teams that could end up as our opponents:

RB Leipzig/Club Brugges
Porto/Milan/Atletico Madrid
Borussia Dortmund
Sheriff Tiraspol
Barcelona/Benfica
Villarreal/Atalanta/Young Boys
Salzburg/Sevilla
Zenit St Petersburg

Some tasty potential ties there.

West Ham current favs at around 10/1 to win it. I would say only Atletico would take that spot if they drop in to it. Isn’t really any clear stand out fav for this comp, very competitive.

 

[ScouseHairline]

Bring on Spaniards by the score, Barcelona nae bother

 

[Tambryant]

56 is the priority with CL entry next season.
A glamour tie will be welcome in the next round of the EL though.

 

[Jase]

RB Leipzig
Barcelona
Milan/at Madrid
Salzburg/sevilla
Dortmund
Sheriff
Zenit
Atalanta/Villarreal

Nay bother bring it on

Porto & Benfica come into the mix too. I’d have one of them.

But even the weakest team Sheriff have had a win in Madrid.

All the rest are a big ask.

 

[Joe_1991]

We would knock Barca out!

 

[VGM]

We would knock Barca out!

96 hours ago this place was in revolt at the “cowards” and “shitebags” we have in our squad.

Now we are beating Barcelona. I know the criticism was over the top and Barcelona are nothing like what they were, but come on.

 

[Coopers left foot.]

When is the draw?

After the final round of group games I'd imagine mate.

 

[VGM]

13 December

 

[Coopers left foot.]

don't think we'll beat any of those teams tbh

Sod being stuck in the trenches with you...

 

[Stuart_WATP]

We've a a great opportunity to test ourselves v Lyon who are as good if not better than many of those teams. A free hit, put an attacking side out and get us ready for the next round. Can't wait to see Tav score a hat trick v Barcelona and send FF into the stone age

 

[Crouchy]

Barca was/is a shite trip for the fans, imo. Neds galore will tag along.

Zenit would be class.

 

[Struths Canary]

Anyone know how this works as regards marketing and TV? Is this already factored in or is this a pay day....as in if we draw Barca do both teams get a cut of what would be a huge tie?

 

[two2tango]

Porto will end up 3rd in Milan’s group.

Porto/Milan
Benfica
Zenit
Sherif

All beatable.

Mate ffs sherif maybe

We struggled to keep Sparta out last night never mind those teams listed

 

[Struths Canary]

We'd beat (maybe) Zenit, Sherrif, and possibly Salzburg...

 

[two2tango]

Glamour game v Atletico Madrid would be nice. I've not seen them at Ibrox and a trip to their new stadium would be good.

Ye that would be good

 

[McQueen]

RB Leipzig
Barcelona
Milan/at Madrid
Salzburg/sevilla
Dortmund
Sheriff
Zenit
Atalanta/Villarreal

Nay bother bring it on

Would love to stick it up Zenit, but would also love a glamour tie like Barca or AC Milan.

I’d be confident of beating Sheriff.

 

[VGM]

There are three months before this tie with a new coaching staff

 

[VGM]

I’d be confident of beating Sheriff.

Glamour ties are for Yeovil Town in the FA Cup.

Let’s get as far as we can and run into the big teams later

 

[rangeral]

Sheriff & Zenit next competitive games will be those 2 Europa League games after the Moldovan & Russian Winter Breaks

Break starts on weekend of 11th December in Moldova & Russia

 

[Slim]

We could also get drawn against one of the four best placed Europa League group winners.

 

[TQ3]

Villarreal for me, a tough match up, but one we can win.
