Well guys can we make it 5-5 on Thursday
Think it would put us in a very good position if we can get the 3 points against Lyon which I think is a very winnable match back at Ibrox?
To get 6 points from 6 would be a great start to the campaign giving we will encounter much harder games
Think my main worry is the Tottenham game think they will put a Few past us there quite a physical team which I don't think our players will like much and their quick on the break when they want to be.
Man Utd will be a tough game too but their not the force of old but can still turn it on
Those two are really my main worries think we can hold our own against the rest which gives me hope to get through to next stage come start of next year.

Fair points Stig. if we can match the other teams then we should be able to get the 10 points required to reach the playoffs. I think we will lose games and the two you mention might be top of my list.
We won't be judged against those at the end of the league if we do qualify. Rather have them both in the league than a playoff at the end of it.

Spurs and Man Utd are 2 out of the last 3 games. Fingers crossed by that stage we have already qualified for the next stage.

Think spurs and man u game comes in transfer window so never know of gettin̈g new players in also. We do seem to be getting better and better and new players clicking. I'd be more worried if had that games early. ì also think we can get a result against lyon.

Thought the general concensus was 12 sure I seen that.

We need our fans for the Lyon game. They just spent £120 million on upgrading their players and we spend £11.
I am not saying we can’t beat them, but we can’t expect to win.
I remember our run to the Europa final and I had a lump in my throat with the atmosphere at ibrox. We beat some great teams then and we need that again if we are to stand a chance. The boo boys need to sit in the house for this one.

RFC-Gordy looked at the Lyon side yesterday none of ours players start, will be a tough, but a good chance of us winning if we perform like we did in the Malmo game, can't afford many not on it.
30 Sep 2024 18:14:04
My star I think we will need to play better than we were in Malmo game.
We have played and beat better team's at Ibrox and we can again.

Stig, looking at the fixtures, we play Man Utd and Spurs in the final 3 games, as such, hopefully we'll have earned enough points from the other games before them to make the games irrelevant, we have to look at the positives in this, we also made money on Thursday so that's also the incentive for us.

Spurs game 12/ 12.

@fork I saw it on sky sports net page where Opta said it would be 15 points possibly to reach 8th place and 10 points to be 9-23 with possibly 9 points to reach 24th place. I think the Scottish press were saying the same when Celtic one, i. e. they would need 7 more points. may well be that 12 points was calculated elsewhere.

Cheers, Angus can't mind who it was tbh, my thinking is aim for 9-24th place, and anything else is a bonus. I posted that a while back bud?.

agreed Fork. It would be better if it is 9-10 points as we are then only 2 wins away. perhaps just wishful thinking.
