Great result the other night, I was feart to touch them as well, no mugs at this stage but i would think Marseilles are the only ones you really want to swerve, that's who I would make fav out of Pot 4.

I really don’t fear many teams any more after the Europa run last season, obviously Man City have the capability of destroying teams but there are others who are beatable. Both Glasgow teams expectations probably third place in group followed by Europa parachute which is probably their level given the enormous gulf in transfer budgets.

@Mad Slasher McGurk Having a bit of this hardman , all we now need is Auld Fergie in his ear and a Euromillions win to pay his wages. Seriously who dreams these things up.

I don’t think it’s that unbelievable, he’s played in all the top leagues and completed it. 

Italy - Done

Spain - Done 

England - Done 

Scotland up next

I can see the headlines now, McRonaldo signs for Gers, unlimited Irn Bru and Tunnocks Teacakes part of contract negotiations.

I don't know why they get ex footballers to do anything, some of the pundits on BBC and BT are fine but some can barely string a sentence together.

It is the same every year.  They like to milk it for the sponsors

Shite filled with 6 European Cups....

Group is middling to be fair, could have been harder, but certainly  could have been easier.

It’s a tough group, looking forward to it.. realistically speaking 3rd in group, Ibrox is a tough game for any travelling team so I hope we can take points at home.

Hmmm, after our first 3 games I would not be so sure. Hopefully get a couple of wins on the board, board soon, boost the old confidence a bit. 

Agree though, Ibrox will not be easy for any team to visit. Rangers could surprise

They will surprise and so will Celtic for that matter. It’s all about survival for the smaller teams in the tournament, £40 Million is colossal money for qualifying to the group stages.

Disagree with Celtic...they crumble all the time in recent history. Rangers grateful to be back in the 'big time' and likely this year at least, will be well up for it.

I genuinely don’t expect much from the Liverpool games, exceptionally talented team. Ajax and Napoli.. meh.

The Celtic supporting Andy Robertson will be assured a warm welcome at Ibrox

Your from London but support Liverpool please explain why. Why don’t you support a cockney team? Not having a pop it’s just always done my head in and can’t understand the reasoning behind it.
