Given our financial requirements I’d probably go with the bye tho as it’s guaranteed. Not sure how they can process a whole teams visas in a day without some sort of reciprocity. I would probably accept the bye too if it were an option given that 3 home gates would then be guaranteed. But as it stands we have to negotiate Ufa and the gate money will be more than welcome for the club. Given our recent form and gathering momentum and their lack of form we have to be favourites. I suspect both Osijek and Maribor would soundly thrash them. Who would have thought it just a couple of months ago? Within touching distance of the group stage and strong favourites to get there. I hope we as good as kill it off on Thursday. I don't want a nerve wracking week before the away leg. Make this group stage and there is no holding us back. We will have moved on to another level or perhaps more accurately returned to a level we previously occupied. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,658 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Can you imagine debating whether we'd like our Europa League opponents to forfeit or not under Pedro? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 7,050 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 In the event of the tie being a bye then UEFA should compensate Rangers for lost earnings . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard not to get ahead of ourselves but if we do get through with momentum then we’d be a 4th seed folk would want to avoid in the group stages. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe with the coefficient rules during qualification, since we defeated Maribor (who had coeff points of 22.500) we have adopted this score for the draw. That would result in us potentially being allocated to Pot 3. https://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/seedel2018.html If you look at the 4th qualifying round section on this page it shows us at 22.500 for the Ufa draw. However the potential Group stage's still show Ufa as they have assumed seeded teams would qualify. If we defeat Ufa, I believe we would replace them with a higher coefficient point total. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
