I think they went into a playoff round last season, or was that just for CL dropouts, either way, I’m sure that’s stopping after this season.  Once you’re out, you’re out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Rangers will need a lot of character and big boy pants for that second leg When there are a lot of new faces that might not happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were just trying to start a conversation then fair enough but there isn't a football fan that I'm aware of who doesn't know the qualifiers are played over two legs. It's been that way in Europe for as long as anyone can remember. Maybe some older fans can answer this but has there ever been a European tournament played over one leg out with a final? Sorry to contradict you VA. In 2020/21 the Champions League qualifiers were single leg affairs due to the pandemic. Celtic beat Reykjavik 6-0 and then lost to Ferencvaros 1-2, both at home before going to the Europa League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid is an exception to the rule here. Tradionally these ties are 2 leg affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - Killie had more new players in our team on Saturday than Rangers did though. Might be a case of our new players mostly knowing what to except - Rangers ones looked like they expected walkover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Scot Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Really good performance by Hearts. They were the better team although Rosenburg always looked like scoring 1 or 2 just from counter but also Hearts are still a tad nieve at this level. Play the same way next week and no reason Hearts cant go through. Watching Hibs now. Started the game well but its so open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Scot Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Great result from Hibs but this game could have been any score going either way. Was like watching a basketball match. From what ive seen of Hibs, they wont be involved in many nil nils this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Great result for Hibs. I think they got it spot on with tactics as well. Fancy them to progress. Hearts have a sniff as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d fancy both to go through now, although nobody would be surprised to see them make heavy weather of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I know this probably only really impacts Rangers or Celtic (and mostly Celtic tbh) but 2 wins over Swiss teams this week is positive for the coefficient as Switzerland were creeping up on us points wise after a pretty poor season last from us last year. Turkey and Austria are the other countries gaining on us now, with Turkey certain to overtake us next season I think.

Sure, although none of the dates are ideal given what we have in our diary - There is some flexibility, so fingers crossed Need to take care of the play off first I guess - Really hoping it's Gothenburg (Hacken), just for the nostalgia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impacts whoever finishes 3rd arguably as much if not more. The guarenteed millions for group stage football is huge for teams like Hearts last year and Aberdeen this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
