Morning Guys
Bit of a sore head this morning
Not had my morning coffee yet ?
Just want to say again how much I enjoyed that performance last night it was just so good and everyone played there part we just looked a totally different team last night still buzzing about it
I'll try not get ahead of my self here but sort of can't help it but wee question for everyone ?
Anyone thinking we're actually going to make the champions league group stage in the first summer of the takeover and RM just in the door and all the new players getting to know each other etc
I think we're going to actually get champions league football I originally thought definitely Europa but no I'm now in the mindset it's champions league can you bloody imagine first summer bang ‼️ Champions league
So proud of our team last night what a performance and getting by Pana in the 1st round a lot of folk out with being Rangers gave us no chance then weekend was messy then last night we turn up looking like a team with cohesion creativity flair speed sleek and ruthless in front of goal players played a game of football I haven't seen in a long time
Can't stop saying it I loved that performance last night so proud of the players and RM for changing it
I'll stop as I could go on all morning maybe still a bit drunk or just overcome by that performance and result and the thought of Chsmoions league football in the 49ers and Rm first time of asking would be unbelievable and the cash injection from it too ?
thanks for the birthday messages last night guys was appreciated I'll try not fill the forum today with my posts ??.

Fire away Stig, it was brilliant, best team performance in an age. If we can't get happy about that then something is far wrong. Two exciting wingers ripping it up. To think that we are still to see what Mikey Moore is like as he has been strongly touted, things are starting to look bright.

I don't see why we can't, it'll be a tough game as salzburg and brugge are both good teams with good players, but i've always maintained that we are also.

Would live CL football and it's still there for the taking.
Last night was what we have all been asking for, direct attacking football with speed, was a joy to watch. Only time I looked thru my fingers was when the Harlem Globetrotter stuff started around our box, this 20 passes thing between defenders and an odd midfield player, gives me the fear.
Anyhoo, hope you enjoyed your birthday stig, Onward and Upward.

Stig hope the head isn't too bad. I still think it is early in thsi and there will still be bumps but last night at least showed we can make progress. Champions League still a big ask IMO but even though the opposition in the next qualifier is more difficult if we play like last night we have a chance; assuming 3-0 is enough to get through this one.
I think he found the players who are able to play the way he wants last night and it is now about getting those in the squad to realise they need to do the same if they want to win that jersey. when was the last time we had competition for places across the squad. still possibly need competition for Jefte and LCB but almost there.

Stig - happy with the result and players relative efforts. Saying that please were poor and we got a very soft penalty.

I've been saying Champions league since the start mate. Don't see any of the teams being much better than we've faced before.

Stig, we've certainly got a favourable draw.
Happy birthday.

Stingo happy birthday mate, hope that head is pounding lol ? ? ? ?.

Belated Birthday wishes Stig.
It's the old cliche take every game as it comes, looks like we will get through this tie then could be Brugge who I recall played well against them in the group stage last year, looked a big strong and quick team, nor should we fear them, two good performances is what you need, had a look at some of the teams trying to qualify and glad we have avoided like Fenerbahce, Benfica, Feyenoord, also some other teams still to come in for the play off.
Can't remember who said the Pana tie could be our toughest, I would agree with how early it was to play that tie.
End of the day if we drew Brugge or Salzburg in any group stage you would look at it as ties we would be looking to certainly win at Ibrox, and hopefully take something from the away tie.

I also think we could make the CL and I think with the new format we could fare not too badly either if we get semi favorable fixtures.

Happy birthday stig. Team were on fire last night! This is just the start. Imagine what it'll be like when we actually gel down the line ?.

Mmmmmmmm……. Salzburg and Brugge are leap years ahead of Czech team!
That team is one of the worst I've seen at Ibrox! Truly awful performance.
Granted we had something to do with that. But…….
