So, am I seeing this right?
To qualify we either need to win v Rapid Wien or draw and hope Villarreal can beat Spartak at home.
In the first instance, well. we'd be second in points so no problems there.
In the second instance our head to head with Rapid would put us above them and we'd also be ahead of them on Goal Difference (Can't remember if it's good or Head to Head that's calculated first)
Since Spartak are notoriously bad travellers, Villarreal are at home not to mention how we bossed the game against Rapid at Ibrox. I'd say we have a really damn good chance of getting through this group which is a massive step ahead of where we should be so soon after what's been effectively a rebuild job with a brand new manager.
I think most of us would have been ecstatic if at the start of the season we were told we would drop out at the group stages but to take it to the last game and have everything still in our own hands to qualify is a massive testament to what the board and Steven Gerrard has put together here in such a short time.
We should be proud of how far we've came so quickly, even if we don't manage to win the league this year we've really came so far.
Lets hope we keep it up against Hearts and get back to the top of the league where we belong.

Trev No 7
We have 6 points and both Villareal and Rapid have 7 only a win is good enough.

Vilareal get beat and we draw are we not through on head to head due to 2-2 draw over there. Can't see them not winning tho tbf.
