Brilliant result for rangers tonight. After drawin 2-2 at Ibrox to go and win 1-0 away to psv. means both celtic and rangers in the CL proper. Can’t remember the last time that happened! edit: just seen on bbc article 07/08 was last time they were both in it
The Italian sides from pot 3 would be the ones to avoid imo. Even if we get the German sides, the kkopp factor should see us through against them. Pot 4 looks fine. The Scottish sides would be the trickiest there but then at least it'd be a short trip, which is probably more important this year given it's pretty much 2 games a week until the world cup.
Pot 1: Real Madrid, Eintracht Frankfurt, Manchester City, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Porto, and Ajax. Pot 2: Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, RB Leipzig and Tottenham Hotspur. Pot 3: Borussia Dortmund, Red Bull Salzburg, Shakhtar Donetsk, Inter Milan, Napoli, Benfica, Sporting and Bayer Leverkusen. Pot 4: Rangers, Dinamo Zagreb, Marseille, Copenhagen, Club Brugge, Celtic, Viktoria Plzen and Maccabi Haifa.
Any group we're in will be the group of death. It used to mean death to our rivals. This year, death to us.
Reality is we only need best the 3rd pot team and scrape by in 2nd to last 16. Pot 3 is full of troublesome teams.
