Should have gone to North Berwick, as usual.

Mount Olympus or North Berwick Law certainly poses a bit of a tough choice.  

 

Apparently there's a Celtc Supporters Club in Salonika, I'll nip in there because they're bound to have our game on.

If you look back at our record against clubs from Belguim in European competition, it is excellent and whisper it, but I've found these trends tends to continue.

 

Example

We tend to stroll by Danish teams, 8 wins, 2 drwaws and 0 defeats......

...but cross the border(or bridge) and Swedish clubs send us packing, 0 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

 

We give a good account of ourselves against the Germans but can't do diddly squat against the Spanish.

 

Anyway, back to the Belguims

8 wins

1 draw

1 defeat

 

A couple from the distant past when Compo was a mere lad

 

59/60

Home and away victories against Anderlecht, 7-2 on aggregate

 

The defeat came with a 4-1 reverse against Standard Liege in a 1962 European Cup quarter Final which put us out 3-4 on aggregate. 

 

Fast forward 30 years......

 

92/93 Club Brugge (First ever CL Group Stage)

Legendary 2-1 comeback at home with 10 men #Nisbetstunner

Frustrating draw in Belguim that we should have won.

 

Another nearly 30 years and the other end of the book shelf is 4 wins from 4 in the Steven Gerrard European Wonder years, in 2020/21...

 

Standard Liege revenge

3-2 at Ibrox

0-2 win #Roofestunner

 

Then it was the Antwerp goalfest

H: 5-2

A: 3-4

Aggregate: An historic 9-5 

 

 

I make that 27 goals scored by Rangers in 10 matches

Massive match, winnable but they are no mugs so we need to be at it.

It is mostly about us.

 

We are behind them in terms of preperation and the next couple of weeks need to see us start to pick up some real momentum. 

 

The tie is worth a minimum of 7M euros.
