Jesus Sir BS your glass must be nearly empty with your attitude,mines is nearly full with how we have been doing.

It might be worth you seeking out pep pills to gee you up.

I’ve been trying to post tonight on a dodgy connection so apologies if repeating myself.
 
i was absolutely elated after we beat Maribor in the first round.
 
However, these are the facts as I see them. We beat a really poor side over these legs. Vastly superior to why we played in previous rounds, but a shit team.
 
Even if they finished 6th and struggled to beat progres, I think a sterner test awaits us. 
 
I thought gubbing maribor was a big thing, but on tonight I don’t think it was

Ah normal service is resumed.

Repeating yourself?  A negative post about Rangers?  Yes, I can safely say that you're repeating yourself.

I don't think Maribor were a poor side but we don't have a say who we play in cup competition and we did  the job were others failed , well done Rangers.

@Ser Barristan Selmy I watched the ufa game yesterday and can honestly say they looked extremely poor. The main concern is the distance we must travel.

 

Hopefully we can put the tie to bed at Ibrox.

I'm trying my best not to get carried away, but as weeks in football go this has been a very enjoyable one and I aim to make the most if it. The last couple of years have been so bloody awful that professional away performances against half decent European sides should be greeted like long lost friends. 

 

A word for Murphy who does a power of work without the ball, tracking runners, closing space, harrying defenders and midfielders, much of it unseen. His final ball could improve but his overall contribution is under appreciated. 

 

Walk about today with big smiles on your faces Bears, enjoy these moments, we've earned them.

So will our group be made up of teams in that section from Rapid to Kobenhavn? Or is it just ordered randomly?

Why is it GLASGOW Rangers but 'Celtic'?

Maribor would have destroyed us last year.  It was a hard tie that was dealt with in a very professional manner.  Keep in mind that in recent years, Chelsea, Spartak Moscow, Sevilla have all failed to win in Slovenia against them.  They even managed a draw against Shalke away.  Obviously they are not world beaters but they were a decent outfit none the less.  Tremendous effort by the team and staff over the past few months.  Very proud of the progress being made in such a short period of time.

We have a professional coaching team who know what they are doing and with SG, an authoritive figure to lead and inspire.

 

Setbacks will come but we've already seen we are on the right path.

Patience comes easier when there is light at the end of the tunnel.

 

ps. I ain't religious

We have to qualify first but here is..............

 

Once the 4th qualifying round (or play-off round) has been completed, the 48 remaining clubs are drawn into twelve groups of four clubs each. Clubs from the same association will not be drawn into the same group.

 

Below it is assumed that lowest seeded teams of the 4th qualifying round of the Champions League qualify for the group stage of the Europa League, and that the highest seeded teams of the 4th EL-qualifying round also qualify.

 

 

Group Stage (48 teams)

Pot 2 coef. ------------------------ --- ---------------- ------------------------ --- ---------------- Sevilla ** Esp 113.000 Sporting CP Lisbon Por 40.000 Arsenal Eng 93.000 Ludogorets Razgrad @2 Bul 37.000 Chelsea Eng 82.000 FC København * Den 34.000 Zenit St. Petersburg *3 Rus 78.000 Olympique Marseille Fra 32.000 FC Basel @2 Sui 71.000 Celtic @3 Sco 31.000 Bayer Leverkusen Ger 66.000 PAOK Thessaloniki @4 Gre 29.500 Besiktas ** Tur 57.000 AC Milan Ita 28.000 Olympiakos Piraeus *3 Gre 54.000 FCSB ** Rom 27.500 Ajax @4 Ned 53.500 APOEL Nicosia @1 Cyp 27.000 Villarreal Esp 52.000 AA Gent *3 Bel 27.000 Anderlecht Bel 48.000 Racing Genk ** Bel 27.000 Lazio Ita 41.000 Fenerbahçe @3 Tur 23.500 Pot 3 coef.

We're not listed here but I take it we would be in the place of Ufa there, so in Pot 4? That would means we'd have a much harder group than Celtic who are in Pot 2.
