Champions League Play-off round Draw: USG/Rangers v Monaco/PSV

We enter in the 3rd round of qualifiers (non-champions path) and the draw is on the 18th of July.

We are seeded

Of the 7 other teams involved, I can remember playing them all other than Union St.G.

 

 

Of the 4 possible opponents, we drew both Sturm Graz and Monaco in the same CL group back in 2000. Despite aggregate wins against both, we were eliminated from the group. In fact, probably our best ever first two games in a group were a 5-0 home win against the Austrians, followed up by a 0-1 away win in Monaco (I think Gio scored the goal).

 

 

For older Bears, PSV (1978) and Kiev (1987) were both notable victories. 

Benfica (2 draws) and Midtjylland (7-3 agg.win) were more recent encounters with SG in charge.

 

 

 

Qualifying for CL Play-off round would ensure somewhere in the region of at least 7M Euros.

- 5M pay-out for losers of play off round

- Other benefits (including home gate)

 

Losing CL3Q would put us straight into the EL Group stage

 

 

 

First leg will be August 2 or 3

Second leg August 9

 

Draw for CL Play-Off Round will be on August 2

Straight into the Europa group stages.

But he said that's what would happen if we lose CL3Q. It can't be the same for both ... or can it? Very confusing.

These teams are all beatable.

Yes, especially if the tie was to be played next week.

But the games will be played in August. Probably without some our European stalwarts and with some new faces trying to get up to speed.  This increases uncertainty. Time will tell.

 

 

Coming off the back of 55,.... Malmo looked very beatable.

After our 92/93 exploits, we got dumped by a very beatable Levski Sofia and that was that.

After Manchester 2008, we got dumped by an exceptionally beatable Kaunas and that was that.

 

The positive this time is that we are guarranteed Group Stage football for the fifth consectutive year regardless of how we do in the qualifiers. Hopefully, the progress will continue and it will be Champions League.

So, to repeat my question, what happens if we lose in the play off round?
