There are no easy groups, but ours is no tougher than we had last season so we will look forward with hope and relative confidence.

“BREAKING: Tottenham have signed striker Carlos Vinicius on loan from Benfica”

Good. One less to worry about. Later perhaps.

Who do you think you are, Peter Lawell?
 

Thinking about it, Peter would have demanded six home games.

Well Peter has to get some use of his Champions League Disco Lights, so 6 Europa league home games would be a start!

Jermain Defoe has been AXED from Rangers' Europa League squad.

And Jordan Jones and George Edmundson have also been left out of the 21-man list.

Steven Gerrard submitted his squad after being drawn in Group D alongside Benfica, Standard Liège and Lech Poznań.

But due to a lack of homegrown players, Gers have been unable to fill the 25 man limit.

UEFA rules state that clubs must have at least four club-trained players in the squad in addition to eight players trained in their home nation.

But veteran goalkeeper Allan McGregor is the only club-trained first-team player - forcing Gerrard to choose from a smaller pool.

And it means that Northern Ireland cap Jones - who has recently battled his way back into Gerrard's plans - will miss out on European football for the second season in a row.

Defender Edmundson has also been sacrificed, although there's room for new signing Bongani Zungu.
