What's the chances Rak-Sakyi was a smoke screen to go for Mikey Moore and Oliver Antman out of the eye of the media and public?
I know it's possibly Antman was second choice behind Rak-Sakyi and that Martin said he likes him but never commited to it.
28 Jul 2025 16:04:38
Ayrshire, i think the daily record jumped the gun last night when they reported Rangers and go ahead eagles had agreed a fee for oliver antman and that the deal would be finalised in the next 24/ 48 hours and it's clearly not the case at all ?Go Ahead Eagles have stated today that they've not accepted any fee from any club for antman, so nothing imminent like they were suggesting ?I wonder if we're definitely actually interested in antman, now with this news on the possibility of us signing mikey moore on loan from spurs, the plot thickens.
28 Jul 2025 16:12:17
Ayrshire, Rak-sakyi is a left footed rw mate.
Signing Moore will not stop us signing a left footed right winger, we could be doing with a couple, we need many players moving on now.
28 Jul 2025 16:15:41
Always think clubs have a couple of options and play them against each other.
For example Antman rumours could still be a way of getting Crystal Palace to negotiate a bit further.
28 Jul 2025 16:23:25
I think that rak saki may have an injury keeping him out for an unknown amount of time plus the deal is difficult to progress.
Antman probably second choice option and Moore or equivalent back up player was maybe always being looked at as an option.
EHL has said some of these more costly deals turgeman/ Antman or rak saki deals depend on Wednesday night progress and a considerable player sale.
28 Jul 2025 16:43:57
I think antman will be n after we beat pana. They said all going well! Well sign in next few days. That sounds to me like beat pana forst.
28 Jul 2025 17:38:58
If we progress this week, we are guaranteed 12 more European fixtures, 6 of which at home - which is a lot in terms of income.
28 Jul 2025 18:28:36
EHL ?.
28 Jul 2025 18:45:00
It would be a big help going forward to progress on Wednesday and have the guarantee of Europa League football with the bonus of 2 teams between us and Champions League.
To be able to factor in the Europa money from Wednesday onwards would really help with plans moving forward.
Stating the obvious I know.
28 Jul 2025 18:51:49
Double check that EHL. Need to get by servete/ plzen then 2 leg play off for CL, fail at pana its a drop down, fail at servette plzen is it not a play off for Europa, fail then is it Conference or is it another play off? Where u getting 12 from with a guarantee.
28 Jul 2025 18:55:21
Is this correct
So basically get by Pana then servette/ pilzen to get a play off shot at Champions league, lose the play off and it's Europa guaranteed, or is it a play off, lose at servette/ pilzen then it's either Europa play off or Conference groups.
28 Jul 2025 19:01:26
Check the diagram in sightings. There are 2 directional arrows. If we lose to servette/ plzen, one goes straight in one goes to the play off for Europa. Anyone got a definitive idea, which I thought I had it but I'm not sure now.
28 Jul 2025 19:09:28
Co2 Europa is only guaranteed if we get to the CL play off, lose tomorrow, and its Shaktar/ besitkas to get to a Europa play-off which we would need to win or its the conference.
I may be wrong here but that's how I'm seeing it, if wrong I apologise.
28 Jul 2025 19:16:31
Ignore everything I just said above.
Ai answer
Yes, if Rangers defeat Panathinaikos in their Champions League second qualifying round tie, they are guaranteed at least Europa League football until January. This means they would be in the Europa League group stage, ensuring participation in that competition through the end of the year.
Anno I'm a numpty?.
28 Jul 2025 19:28:14
Be a def 5, 6 if we beat Servette a think EHL unless I missed something if I did apologies.
28 Jul 2025 19:34:01
Could be wrong Fork, but if we progress we effectively have 4 pathways.
Servette / Plzn (two games)
Win and it's UCL playoff (two games), which means either UCL (8 games) or Europa (8 games)
Lose and it's Europa playoff (two games), which means either Europa League (8 games) or Conference League (8 games) .
Going out against Pana is the only pathway that can result in no European Group stage football.
I may have picked it up incorrectly though.
28 Jul 2025 20:03:45
Play off for Europa is already drawn for us if we lose to pana.
28 Jul 2025 20:12:15
Fork was just checking but by time I did you had the argument with yourself and got there in the end. ?.
28 Jul 2025 20:17:01
That's not the playoff for Europa though, that's europa 3rd qualifying round to get a playoff Coully, I've tried but even I'm lost with this.
28 Jul 2025 20:19:22
Even I think the Ai answer is wrong?.
28 Jul 2025 20:23:54
I get that it's European football guaranteed, some think if we beat panathanaikos that Europa is guaranteed, it's not and I'm arguing with myself and AI here? think I'll go n lie down?.
28 Jul 2025 20:50:34
My take is if we win against Pana it doesn't matter if we lose the 3rd Quali or the play off we go into the Europa League group stage:
4 losers from Champions League third qualifying round (League path).
2 losers from Champions League play-off round (League path).
28 Jul 2025 20:55:42
Fork you have had a mare here we win this tie, we are guaranteed European football this year.
28 Jul 2025 20:56:26
Ehl the conference league is less games than the other two.
28 Jul 2025 20:59:01
Where were u when I was arguing with myself lol could've lent a hand????.
28 Jul 2025 21:00:28
Ano angus our fork was just having a full blown argument way himself there, who won fork? A thought if a took my eyes off the screen for a minute a would look back and see you shadow boxing yourself ? we got there in the end though big guy ?.
28 Jul 2025 21:16:15
I knew that Storm folk were thinking we beat panathanaikos and were in Europa no matter what.
Angus so lose the 3rdCL quali we go in to Europa straight away, so why is there a Europa play off in the sightings diagram with 2 differing loser arrows after 3rd qualifying.
Bb I knew what I was saying but the other me wasn't so sure, and now I'm not sure??.
28 Jul 2025 21:17:16
Strom, I thought the Europa League structure was changing to mirror the UCL and Europa League this year - so all 3 offer 8 games.
28 Jul 2025 21:31:02
Don't stress if fork it's just the real you trying to get fresh way your alter ego fork, they don't trust each other mate, I get it all the time ?.
28 Jul 2025 21:34:39
Sorry, conference league structure.
28 Jul 2025 21:35:27
Everytime I get involved in CL discussions about A lists or B Lists or Qualifying it's a nightmare, swore I wouldn't this year and here I am again, I'm recusing myself from all CL discussions for my own sanity, Stevie gies some of your tablets????.
28 Jul 2025 23:02:29
Don't fork we need you explain, your the best at it ??.
