She will get used to the thought over the next week. I recall my cousin telling his wife he was driving to the South of England for an England v Scotland game.... how did he tell her ? As he and 4 friends drove past his house from the pub and he waved to her from the car and said “see you next week” 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 4,808 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 UEFA have put up a page with what looks like the pots for Mondays draw. https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2019/draws/round=2000989/ We (and Maribor) are in pot 4 and the first 4 on the list are seeded so I presume it's the 4 unseeded teams we could draw..... Apollen or Dinamo Brest Haifa or Atlanta Ufa or Progress Slovan Bratislava or Rapid Vienna So it's Maribor and one of the above that stand between us and the group stages. POT 4 - MAIN P. Vitesse (NED) - Basel (SUI) ( ) CSKA-Sofia (BUL) - København (DEN) ( ) Rangers (SCO) - Maribor (SVN) ( ) Hajduk Split (CRO) - FCSB (ROU) ( ) Apollon (CYP) - Dinamo Brest (BLR) ( ) H. Haifa (ISR) - Atalanta (ITA) ( ) Ufa (RUS) - Progrès (LUX) ( ) ŠK Slovan Bratislava (SVK) / SK Rapid Wi ( ) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,655 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 If we can beat Maribor and avoid Atalanta, I think we can make it. A lot of ifs and buts but why not!? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but most teams in pot 4 will be thinking similar, including Maribor. I really didn' think we had much of a chance of making the group stages but we managed to find a way to get past Osijek and thus far, the draw couldn't have been much kinder. Onwards we go............. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,655 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I had limited confidence before we played Shkupi. I'd have been glad to get this far. We can improve and every victory brings added confidence (strangely, I think the only game we didn't win was our best performance). Tomorrow will tell us a fair bit about where we are. I know people think we should beat Aberdeen and we should but even great Rangers sides have struggled up there. Looks like Maribor will be our last trip to the former Yugoslavia (in the qualifiers anyway). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 4,808 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Maribor have just conceded their first competitive goal this season (7th match). 1-3 up away from home in a Slovenian league match. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully if FS is going he can work wonders for me and get me in. Otherwise I will beg and borrow at the gate. Should be able to sort something out! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
