Champions League 2nd Qualifying Round: Rangers v Panathinaikos

[Rousseau 12,226]

I think it's a moot point, anyway. I don't think European 'success' needs to entail an extended run deep into the competition. Merely reaching the group stage of the EL would be deemed 'successful', which shouldn't require us to shift focus from the league.

I would like to watch us smash the Greeks while eating a plate of delicious Gyros and sipping on a cold bottle of Mythos, but if we loose Raskin, Hamza & Dessers and don't replace them with better, and add some decent defenders I may end up hiding behing the couch.

That would be the plan of a self harming idiot.

 

 

Would it?

 

£18M for EL run. 

 

£17M for Igamane and £25M for Raskin dwarfs what we'd make in EL, even if we were to win it. 

 

So even if we "banked" the Igamane money and spent the Ranskin money we'd be no worse off and we'd possibly be Champions which makes it easier to get to CL next season.

 

Yeah, idiotic right enough.

Which has been the norm since Stevie G arrived.  Good achievement by the club.

So are we gonna throw our EL games to ensure we don't qualify?

Yip, but with 1 title and 2 cups to show for it - some achievement right enough.

Why would we have to throw games?

as getting further / deeper into European compitions has been proven to lessen our chances of domestic success. 

 

I can't be the only Rangers fan who thinks domestic success is more important than European involvement?

Nice to see the old blusters back with the insults.

 

Away and have a wee think about what I posted brain of Britian.
