Total goal difference counts AFTER goal points and goal difference between the teams tied on points. Expand if we end up with the same points as Porto AND YB, then we're better than Porto, Porto are better than YB and YB are better than us? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand We would be out as the first rule in a 3 way tie is to deduct the points won against the 4th placed team, and in your scenario where we beat the Dutch but lose to YB and Porto win their 2 games we would be left with just 4 points and be eliminated. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,694 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 You have to expect Porto to come on to a game sometime. They're currently second in the Portugese league just 2 points behind leaders Benfica. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It's been oft repeated that Rangers usually find a way to lose it in this kind of scenario and history shows this to have some validity. However, the way we are playing the game in Europe seems to be different and gives me a degree of confidence that isn't normal in this situation, I'm almost optimistic but would very much like to see the job done in Rotterdam and not depend on the last game. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
