But it wouldn't wipe it off. The Berwick stain remains although we've beaten them since. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we've had so many European humiliations, the Progres result was just another to add to the long list. We're still hearing about Berwick 50 years later but I can't even remember the name of that Lithvakian pub team who hammered us at Ibrox in the much more recent past. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

917 191 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 None of those teams look that easy tbh. What happened to all the Welsh & Irish teams? Why isn’t the draw regionalised any more..? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 307 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 We need to see a dramatic change in our mindset if we are to qualify. The players need to believe that they are Rangers Football Club players and that they should be winning these types of games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,292 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I doubt we'll qualify but we need to get through a couple of rounds, otherwise it'll be another serious disappointment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTB2004 58 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Siroki Brijeg played Aberdeen last year in the 2nd qualifying round where they got beat 3-1 on aggregate. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be ecpected to beat Progres though, would they not? I thought Progres were down near the foot of the rankings Berwick will never be forgotten because we had a truly great team on the park. (And unfortunately playing cards until the wee hours on the morning of it - according to Bud - driving too, doubtless ) That was my first year of going to games regularly and, as I have said on here before, it was our most highly placed team in any objective European ranking. We beat Dortmund and would've beat Bayern in any country other than Germany and would have even there had it not been for, yes... Berwick.

JFK-1 1,693 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 There should be no reason to want to avoid the seemingly easiest possible draw because of a past contrary result against that side. It's still the easiest draw in what will be our first competitive game under Gerrard. It's a must win and win comfortably for him or he will be instantly likened to Pedro. I'm confident he will have them up for it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,292 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 We'll find out tomorrow who we'll be playing. They're all diddy clubs, so they're all must-win matches. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
