We have just qualified , having played in Macedonia , Slovenia , Croatia and finally Russia , in all those 8 games we were behind not I repeat  not a fucking single minute , let that sink in a minute , then smile , its great to be a bear .

Absolutely. Makes me warm and fuzzy inside thinking about that. Lesser teams (and previous season's Rangers teams as well) would have cracked today after going down to 9 men. Our players have done us proud and we should be over the moon for them.

I had reservations about us appointing Steven Gerrard.  

 

He isn't half proving me wrong.  

 

You get the impression there's a great team spirit about Rangers just now (fans included).  The Maribor home match was one of my most enjoyable nights at Ibrox.  Imagine what we can achieve with further additions and a team who haven't just been flung together within a couple of months.

 

I'd like to shake Gerrard's hand and say, "Thanks!".

Re. Revenue from EL

 

Details here....https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=2562034.html

 

Specifically

• 15% will be distributed on the basis of ten-year performance-based coefficient rankings (€84m).

Coefficient ranking (€84m)
On the basis of the new ten-year ranking, a ranking table has been established and the total amount of €84m has been divided into 'coefficient shares', each worth €71,430. The lowest-ranked team will receive one share (€71,430). One share will be added to every rank and so the highest-ranked team will receive 48 shares (€3.42m).

 

 

A quick look at the 10 year rankings

https://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method5/trank10-2019.html

 

and a fag packet calculation comes to a share of  1,020,000 euros for us.

Note that this is only part of the revenue.

 

The following clubs in the EL group stages are below us in those rankings

 

Apollon Limassol  
Rosenborg BK  
Vorskla Poltava
Slavia Praha
Akhisarspor
FK Jablonec   
Malmö

AEK Larnaca
Videoton Fehérvár  
F91 Dudelange 
Spartak Trnava 
Stade Rennais       

Sarpsborg 08  

-----------------

 

Note that this figure is based on 10 year rankings which also takes into consideration our CWC win in 1972.

What an exciting draw. Copenhagen pulled off the shock of the round putting out Atalanta, which makes pot 2 look a bit better for us. Dudelange (and Progres) showing Europe that teams from Luxembourg are now serious opponents. They've had a remarkable run.

 

I'm hoping for; Anderlecht, Ludogorets, Malmo, Rangers

What I expect; Chelsea, AC Milan, RB Leipzig, Rangers
