Wow. What a way to qualify.

Roofe just edged it for me among several excellent performers.

Superb performance yesterday. Interesting that the manager talked about respecting international football by taking Jack and Barisic off at HT, as well as resting Davis. Giving McLaughlin 90 minutes ahead of the international week is another, but we just need to hope none of them come back with knocks or Covid issues. Will Zungu need to quarantine again when he returns?

A bittersweet evening of football. Benfica showed if you give them space they’ll hurt you, so we need to switch on from the first minute at Ibrox. Lots of positives to take but we generally are not taking advantage of enough of our opportunities. If Kent slots away one of those chances second half it would have killed things

By all accounts they’re looking for a soft landing. One things for sure; they’ve been very nautical boys.

Good shout!

Scrappy performance at times but getting wins from poor performances will do for this bear considering the level of opposition. Onwards and upwards!

Rangers 2 - 0 Lech Poznan FGS Aribo

As mentioned in the MOTM thread, he got 84 minutes yesterday which I think is the longest he's played for a wee while. And I think its showing in his sharpness/energy levels. Lots more potential to be realised, which is exciting.

Hagi for me too. Great touch and assist to get us going early on, which is always welcome. And he got 84 minutes which is the longest he's played for quite a while I reckon - and he's starting to add a bit of sharpness to his play that I think was lacking in previous games, albeit he continues to provide quality moments and assists regularly.

Rangers 4 - 0 Livingston Roofe FGS

Hard to pick a single player as a real standout, there were so many who put in excellent performances. A real team effort last night. I went for Jack because of his quiet ability to snuff out danger and fill in when we get caught out of position. He drove us forward and kept things simple - to the point where we didn't miss Davis as much as I thought we might. Honourable mention for Bassey though. From the moment he came on he looked strong in the tackle and drove forward periodically. You would have no fear of him getting a few starts if we need to rest Barisic.

Thought we might have gone for Hagi but I can see the need to have a more disciplined runner in Barker. Let’s hope he can add a bit of quality in the final 1/3. We need to put pressure on their centre half and keeper early doors. Shell a few balls into the box to see how they cope.

I've backed my own predictor selection. 3-1, Kent FGS. £5 @ 95/1 thankyouplease

Celtic 1 - 3 Rangers FGS Kent

We don't and he wont be officially able to do sign a pre-contract until January, but that doesn't mean his agent isn't working on it.

Its weird, there are reports that we have gone back in but also that the reason we didn't sign him earlier in the summer was because he was overweight.

It’s quite the deal here. We’ve bought the tv rights to the India market and re-sold them to star, owned by Disney. rangers doing the job that Doncaster is incapable of.

Chick Young isn’t allowed in due to the ongoing dispute with BBC Scotland.

Happy with the draw. Benfica will be tough but we have a good record vs Portuguese teams of late, and we seem to perform well in big games so for me they will be two great tests of where we are as a team. As for Liege and Poznan, they will no doubt pose problems but I fancy us to get points on the Board there. You would take our draw ahead of theirs every day of the week.

Got a feeling we will have draw one of the big boys from Pot 1. Some tricky ties from Pot 2 too. Bring it on!
