Easy NO. The 4 CL knockout games at Ibrox, Dortmund away and the SC semi are 6 of my all time best Rangers games - wouldn’t swap those memories for the world.
What part of we have just gifted the filth a walk straight into a pot of gold, whilst we might not get there via the qualifiers, do you find difficult to comprehend? Which could affect our spending powers for the next couple of seasons.No.
Europe is the priority for me. Followed by the league. Always has been. We'll always have another crack at the league title, but the chance of European glory is much rarer.
Manchester and Seville are not only our only finals, they're the only times we've reached the quarters since 1993.
True.
But post match Wednesday was the biggest kick in the balls I've ever experienced watching us. It hurt beyond belief.
Losing that final was utterly heartbreaking in a way Manchester just wasn't.
Europe as a priority yes. Got to get ourselves consistently up with the likes of Ajax and Porto who have cycles which regularly involve runs to the latter stages of UEFA competitions. Europe is what will grow our club. Scottish parochialism should be for the rest of them. I'd frankly put the B team out for the premier sports cup ties and voluntarily play in the group stages to give them more experience to help us towards improving the squad for Europe. Couldn't care less about the league cup tripe.No.

The League is the most important for us, but we'll win it again soon. The Europa League run won't be repeated very often and then to win the Scottish Cup was a fitting finale.A daft hypothetical question, but I'm interested to see what people think.
For me it's a straight no, it's maybe raw at the moment due to how gutting last week was, but the European run will live with is all forever.
The games at Ibrox were incredible and I really doubt if Leipzig will be bettered for any of us.
The build up to the final was so surreal, questions in Parliament, the PM giving us a personal good luck message, the numbers travelling, the party atmosphere.
The team and fans have enhanced our reputation across Europe more than any title win could
That's not to say I would want that every season, the league is the priority of course, but I now expect us to be better in Europe, I don't think the latter stages should be beyond us and hopefully this European campaign isn't a one off.
The Scottish Cup was a nice way to round it off, but we all know a Scottish cup isn't a successful domestic season for Rangers

Agreed the Thursday nights at Ibrox especially the knock outs have been amazing and I thought the atmosphere at Dortmund couldn't be topped until RB Leipzig game and that's going to take some beating.No chance. Had some of the best days and nights ever as a Rangers supporter.
Totally agree, its most enjoyable season I've had since our recovery.I'll remember those nights against Dortmund, Red Star, Braga, Leipzig and particularly the trip the Seville for the rest of my life.
No way would I trade those memories
But that's not really the question is it?Would I, a Rangers supporter, rather Rangers win the title or not win the title?
Tough one.
I’ve never felt anything like the Leipzig game at home - it was incredible….

Name the last memorable SPFL game....
The last one that comes closest to Leipzig was being at the game when we won the league at Parkhead in 99….even then…I’ve never know joy like the Leipzig gameName the last memorable SPFL game....
I took my 13 year old…a memory for life for both of usTook my eldest son , and we will remember forever , We will get to another I believe .
Unless we go deep again in the EL. There is more than one way to maximise the earnings.That's when the question can really be answered, after next seasons cl qualifiers.
If we get through them then this season will be remembered as one of our best, if we fail in those qualifiers it takes a bit of the shine off this season.
I wish more people could see this bigger pictureI live in England.
We win the league then it’s comments like “farmers league” two horse race etc
The run in Europe even more perhaps than 55 has put us firmly back on the centre stage of football
Ask me next season after we have won the league and I will still say I would rather be in a Budapest on the 31st May to watch my team play a European final.I think this is one of these examples were people select the thing that actually happened.
If we'd won the league and had automatic Champions' League football - which Celtic would then have to qualify for - then fewer would be saying that they'd have taken a Europa League run. And vice versa, I think.
