and yet a football club won't win many competitions without winning football matches

The goalie was the main problem in those cup games have we ever won a game with him in nets ?
A strong second goalkeeper is essential

We need better back ups than the Augustinsons of this world, but I think that will sort it self out over the summer




He was a left back mate!

Yeah I know, but he still played in those cup games
And you’re not going to win football matches with competition winning players

Probably why we sent him home and bought Moreno then.

Didn't realise that the Conference League allows for 12 substitutes. Should be to name 2 keepers again in that comp.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but I think we also get a bye to the 3rd round of the League Cup next season.

Nice mix of big teams like Juventus and Frankfurt, and places that I'll have to look up like Cuckaricki and Mostar.

Think Cuckaricki are a team from Belgrade

I went to Mostar a few years ago. I thought it was a fascinating place with 2 main clubs HŠK Zrinjski and Velez.

What do we have to do to get a bye to the 4th round of the FA cup?  I'm trying to convince my son that we've been there!

Looks like we have sneaked into the seeded side of the draw. But but the danger is Rapid Vienna are in the unseeded pot. Nightmare could return😟

All sorts of teams from the Champions and Europa League drop into the conference too.
It's a while since Rangers were last at VP.

My opinion on the 'are we able to cope" lets prioritise the conference cup as if you win you go in europa anyway. Play weaker teams in dometic cups.

Also lets not forget we had a WC half way in season. Its a perfect opportunity to use some youngsters too. Archer kesler ans timmy

And inevitably Basel score

Can’t brush a result like that under the carpet.
Boom, boom!
