Burnley and Sevilla are in the 2n'd round....don't fancy our chances against them. Leipzig as well but I don't know how good they are....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018–19_UEFA_Europa_League Ouch. Those are some seriously good sides to meet so early on. I've had a look at that Wikipedia page and it looks like it will be pot luck whether we make it to the group stages because there's no way we're going to be good enough to beat the likes of Sevilla, Leipzig, Zenit etc. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta, I didn't realise that re the quarters. I have paid virtually no attention to non-Rangers football since 2012 but I've a Salzburg fan as a pal. (A fan of "both Salzburgs", Red Bull and real....)

I'm basing my opinion on getting an average opponent in each round. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish football makes me ill, as it is seriously bad for your mental health and sense of anything decent. As today has proven! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
917 191 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 July 12th? I had booked my holidays for the end of June, same as last year!! Wildly optimistic, but we’d have a better chance against the likes of Burnley, Sevilla etc if we got them early. Sevilla in particular have about 10 players in the World Cup who couldn’t play in the early rounds! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
les186 271 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I sat in a pub in Benidorm last year watching us going out to that lot from Luxembourg. Surely we will do better this time . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
