They maybe need a change to go to another level. They are finishing pretty much where they should based on budget/resources. They are not overachieving or punching above their weight at the moment (or any time under McInnes). Correct. On the game itself, we simply weren’t good enough. They were a better team than us by miles and the last round is our comfort level in european football. Personally though, I blame the likes of Motherwell, St Johnstone etc etc. If they gave us regular tough matches, we would be better prepared for these games, but they don’t, so it’s all their fault that we’re stagnating. Not St Mirren though, they’re pretty decent by all accounts. Djorkaeff plays for them and he won the World Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddardStark Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Question on seedings.. If we beat Legia does that mean we take their place in pot 2? Pot 1 in Europa League is scary. Man Utd, Sevilla and Arsenal are just some of the teams in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s only early rounds where the draws are done before the round before is complete, so draw assumes top seed win. Pot 4 for rangers. https://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/seedel2019.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we got through there could be could get a group that included Man Utd, PSV AND Basel. All recent CL participants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is his 3rd shot at rebuilding since his decent team broke up, looked encouraging against the Georgians at Pittodrie but worrying signs that we're slipping back to how we played last season. Maybe we'll see Bryson one day and he'll improve the ability to control and pass a football in midfield. Last night the Croatians were simply better at controlling, passing, dribbling at a decent tempo. We would probably have released their number 8 when we was young for being "too wee"!

I’d argue it was Rangers punching below their weight rather than Aberdeen punching above... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the stats guy in work there is a decent chance of sneaking into pot 3, depending on results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot 1 in Europa League is scary. Man Utd, Sevilla and Arsenal are just some of the teams in there. Just looking at some of the potential groups Rangers could get, if they get through, it shows how the draw can make or break a campaign - Sevilla, Braga, Eintracht Frankfurt or Arsenal, PSV, Torino looks very different to CSKA Moscow, Ludogorets, Steaua Bucharest or Wolfsburg, BATE, Standard Liege.

EddardStark Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 0-0 is always a dangerous score to take back to the home leg. However if we score first I am confident they will open up and we will get more opportunities. Fancy us to get the job done at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, particularly as Legia still haven't conceded a goal in this years' competition (seven games). You've got to fancy Rangers to get the job done at Ibrox though.
