Deary me.How? You're comparing two different Rangers teams and two different eras (you can take that any way you like).
The current Rangers team (effectively a poorer team than the one of 2008) is starting with the major disadvantage of having to go through a number of qualifying ties just to reach the group stages of a competition which offers little in the way of co-efficient points and money.
I don't think some Rangers fans realise just how pish you are. You finished 3rd BEHIND Aberdeen and if Hibs weren't so naive at defending you might not have even finished that high. You're now relying on a youth team coach with no managerial experience guiding you to the group stages of a competition which teams on a par with yourselves (Aberdeen, Hibs etc.) have regularly failed to qualify for.
You're no better than the teams you cite as being "pumped out of Europe in the early qualifying rounds and brought nothing to the table" yet somehow you think Rangers are going to improve the co-efficient of Scottish teams in Europe.
Hmmm...
We know exactly how pish we are. But even as bad as we are we still beat Aberdeen three out of four times and would have finished above them if Celtic didn't throw that game.
