Scott7 5,178 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Copenhagen in the next round is the obvious choice. There would be satisfaction in giving Cluj a good schooling, though there’s a whiff of ingratitude about that. I’ll settle for Wolverhampton Wanderers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh there are a few teams in there that we could take. I think we want to avoid a German side though, we would probably lose our physical advantage against them. Looking forward to the draw. The first leg is 2 weeks today and second leg 3 weeks today. Probably too soon for Helander but it would be a bonus to have him back in contention for the two legs. At full strength we have a side who can compete with almost anyone in this competition. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never played Benfica, which is strange. It's worth noting that Benfica would obviously be a notable step up in quality from Braga and Sporting (albeit Braga's form is better). Having said that, Porto have just closed the gap in the league to 1 point. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth noting that Benfica would obviously be a notable step up in quality from Braga and Sporting (albeit Braga's form is better). Having said that, Porto have just closed the gap in the league to 1 point. I think Benfica were the first 'Latin' team we ever played. Beat them 3-0 in Lisbon. I've lost access to my Rangers database so can't confirm the date. Thanks for confirming; didn't think we'd ever played them in European competition. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
