When was the last time you won a knockout tie in European football?
Rangers Thread - 2023/24
- Thread starter MAG
- Start date
We knocked them out at this stage last season. Unfortunately I think you could be right as they have improved greatly
The other team we could have drawn was Marseille and they are struggling against Panathiaikos at the moment!
Anyway decent wee pay day tonight and improves our countries coefficient against Switzerland. Hibs could do us all a huge favour if they can protect their 3-1 lead against Lucerne
If we get there this season we are in Pot 3 so will get a team at our own level (in theory) so gives us a fighting chance at 3rd.
Tbh I reckon PSV win both ties but as long as we are still involved we can dream
Top seed in Pot 4. If I remember we needed Kiev to beat Benfica in the knockout stages to get Pot 3
Found this …
There are currently seven teams all assured of a place in Pot 3 with Benfica expected to finalise the pot as the eighth side. Yet, the Portuguese giants are still required to defeat Midtjylland over two legs before facing the winners of Dynamo Kyiv and Sturm Graz in the play-off round.
If they were to be knocked out at the third qualifying round or in the play-off round, Rangers would take their spot in Pot 3, providing the Europa League finals navigate through their two ties.

If Ramsey hadn’t missed that penalty we could have been Pot 1 !!!

You win. As soon as I wrote that, I said to myself, aye aye, I bet some **** mentions Transgender and the fluidity of self identification, in these turbulent times, loved by people who can’t say, the worlds gone mad, enough.
Just shows my age, fabulous hair or not. :)
Dreadful, pitiful, embarrassing, shambles. Take your pick and that’s just the referee’s performance!
Dessers through on goal. Defender makes a mistake then throws himself to ground and immediately, from 30 yards away, referee blows for a foul rather than let it go to the finish THEN use VAR!! Pathetic
Broadfoot throws himself to the ground and after watching repeated replays it’s inconclusive if there is any contact BUT the ball changes direction which would mean defender touches it. Penalty !!
Then to even things up and just to add to an utterly dreadful day for VAR Rangers are awarded a penalty for the slightest pull on Balogans jersey. Softest of soft penalties and I’m convinced if Morton hadn’t had theirs we would never have got ours!
All supporters want is consistency but how can the two armed Rugby tackle at Rugby Park not be a penalty but today the merest shirt pull , that didn’t impair Balogan in the slightest, be awarded!
Oh and Rangers are absolutely abysmal and there are no excuses. We rested half a team but replaced them with players bought for millions up against a Greenock Morton that couldn’t even fill their bench.

The Refs are abysmal, but that was the kind of performance that got Gio punted. The formation he is going with is just not working with the players Rangers have at the moment
Gio got punted because our support are fucking idiots!
We had no central defenders! We had half a team the director of football had allowed to run down their contracts!
Goldson, Helander, Souttar, Ridvan, Davies, Davis, Jack, Hagi, Lawrence, Colak, Roofe, all out injured for months and some all season
Kamara, Arfield, Kent, McGregor and Morelos all allowed to run down contracts and at least 2 , possibly 3, not even trying
No manager could deal with that injury list!
I’ve to suffer watching this utter shite because of online campaigns to rid the club of a manager that led us to a major European final without a recognised striker! Who had never lost a domestic cup game! Who had only lost to two clubs in league football. Who was never given the chance with the players he brought to the club!!
Huge night for Rangers against PSV. We’ve actually a reasonably decent record against Dutch opposition but I can’t see anything but Home and Away defeats and Bookies share that opinion with Rangers nearly 2/1 at home!!
Time for summer signings to show us something.. anything!!
