True Muir. I want Shamrock Rovers, they are the only side I'd feel 100% confident that we could beat.
I'm just looking at some of the results from last night and a right few shocks there too. At least we are not the only team failing miserably in Europe.
Same as that for Celtic Dont want to have to travel too far with these ties at this time of year - so nice and close and a ****e team - should win that. anyone else and we could be ****ed (both of us)
The transfer deadline for this round is Monday. Can we expect another brief flurry of transfer activity over the weekend?
This does my tits in. Despite doing **** all in Eurpoe - EVER! Stoke and Brum are Seeded? Shambles. I think there are only certain teams we can get from that list ?? Someone posted them on JA.
Rangers can get FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk (UKR) PFC CSKA Sofia (BUL) Nordsjælland (DEN) NK Maribor (SVN) FC Spartak Trnava (SVK) Hearts can get Tottenham Hotspur FC (ENG) FC Spartak Moskva (RUS) Hapoel Tel-Aviv FC (ISR) Athletic Club (ESP) PAOK FC (GRE) Celtic can get CD Nacional (POR) FC Sion (SUI) PFC Litex Lovech (BUL) SV Ried (AUT) FK Rabotnicki (MKD) WKS Śląsk Wrocław (POL) Some tough ties in there, namely for us, Dnipro or Sofia
Do pay attention ST, we discussed this yesterday. The answer is that teams from the same FA are kept apart, so Celtic v Rangers or Hearts is not a possibility till after the group stages.
The worst thing about Scottish Football the now is with most of the 'wee' teams we get, we expect just to show up and beat them. It's about as bad as England with the World Cup. In all honesty, I'd be surprised if we get through this round.
dinnae ken how it gets worked out. I want Maribor. Think we played them a while ago?? is the Athletic Club that hearts can get Athletico Madrid?
I suppose SV Ried of Austria would be my preferred option. They finished 4th last season and currently sit 9th after three games.
