Rangers in path 6

Rangers get Progress (again) or Willhelm II

Willem II

and fun fact, they are on their european comeback basically, in 00/01 season they even played group stage of champions league, under well known manager Co Adriaanse

their current team is quite good, it is what you really say a real team, no ego's in squad, veteran manager in Adrie Koster (also oldest manager now in eredivisie) Adrie has europa league experience, as interim coach for Ajax, and as coach of Club Brugge

yes not that happy as they are an ok squad and also we played Progress last season home and away

Progress Niederkorn are like slowly rising up to be Luxembourg's second surprise in europe (after Dudelange small successes of group stage)

Dudelange are not in european football now as their competition ended earlier due to covid, and standings as it was then were final results and they missed out

so i expect them back next european season for sure

stupid willem II ruining everything :fist: :fist:

hope Rangers will slaughter willem II now pls :fc:

just exclude disgusting cheating dutch teams from european football next season pls

one of ours (i consider myself german, not dutch) Wolfsburg playing against albanian side Kukes tonight, relatively i expect no trouble, hope for a 0-6, 0-7 score too, i mean loads of goals is entertaining

5-0 for the Sons of William in Gibraltar

:clap1:

Spurs playing like dopes against Locomotive Tractor Parts


(get rid of any spurs players in FPL..QUICK)

Tottenham are going out as it stands

Plovdiv just had 2 players red carded and Kane notched the pen

wtaf

hold on to your hat, its all happening with spurs

2-1 spurs

The oppo have a massive victory in their sights and they go and get two men sent off :facepalm:

ruined my night

tottenham just a 1-2 LOL LOL LOL as a heavy favourite since english teams are the superior ones

asskissers of UEFA president Ceferin :fan:

PSV to slovenia EW EW EW, to that covid filled nation, would've preferred safer denmark :idc:

Ferencvaros for first time in 25 years back at group stage champions league :)

today the remaining CL play off return matches

PAOK (GRE) - Krasnodar (RUS) (first match was 1-2)

Salzburg (AUT) - Maccabi Tel Aviv (ISR) (first match was 2-1)

Midtjylland (DEN) - Slavia Prague (CZE) (first match was 0-0)

all play off losers will move to group stage europa league

and tomorrow we have got europa league play offs (only one match)

Rangers v Galatasaray

TOMORROW 19:45

Midtjylland, Krasnodar won (and they make their debut in group stage of CL)

poor Rangers getting a top team opponent, and Celtic having the easy route to group stage against a lower team Sarajevo

not fair

Group A: Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Red Bull Salzburg, Lokomotiv Moscow

Group B: Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Inter Milan, Borussia Monchengladbach

Group C: Porto, Man City, Olympiakos, Marseille

Group D : Liverpool, Ajax, Atalanta, Midtjylland

Group E: Sevilla, Chelsea, Krasnodar, Rennes

Group F: Zenit St Petersburg, Borussia Dortmund, Lazio, Club Bruges

Group G: Juventus, Barcelona, Dynamo Kiev, Ferencvaros

Group H: Paris St-Germain, Man Utd, RB Leipzig, Istanbul Basaksehir

Lovely!

Groups A, B, C and F all seem quite open (but then I may be overestimating Marseille's capabilities because of a nostalgic view of their past glory). Chelsea probably have the easiest group of our domestic sides... Liverpool should be safe on paper but there's no ruling out Ajax/Atalanta's potential

man u

group of death

Why do City always get easy groups?

Rangers brush aside GAlatasary

Lol. Some of our earlier groups were ridiculous.

Just bribing UEFA innit.

Making out as if you're in a group with prime Barca and Bayern. Yours isn't so bad either.
