    If we sign defenders, we have a chance.

    If we defend well as a unit, we’ll have a chance. We could have Hummels and Godin at the back and it wouldn’t matter a * if the midfield don’t track runners and if we don’t protect the flanks properly.

    The new stadium looks nice, St Petersburg is a gorgeous city,in a way you don't really feel like your in Russia at all lol.

    Happy enough with the draw, this is a fair/equal match imo. Could've been worse, at least we didn't get Atletico. Would've preferred Arsenal though.

    I think you'd find we didn't need to track runners so much with quality footballers at the back.

    No easy teams left,could have been a worse draw,their season finishes soon and will be 8 weeks after that when they play us,could give us some advantage.

    Regardless of who is at the back, your midfield always have to track the opposition's runs.

    Very tough.

    They have 4 shithot Argentinians as well as Ivanovic and a bunch of Russians with years of Euro experience.

    Paredes, Driussi, Mammama, Kranevitter, Kokorin and Dzyuvba the standouts.

    Tough, tough draw. At least we'll finally get the opportunity to thank them for 2008.

    Well the bhoys will have to perform at their best to get past this mob

    Cant say i'm confident at the moment but we have 3 months to improve, The one big concern for me is that we seem to lose a second goal too soon after we concede the first one, This is an ongoing problem that BR must address

    Hard game but I suppose any draw would have been tough now. Bring them on!

    They might be, but probably in Russia to get work permits.

    The sheep away after the second leg. No doubt the * at the SFA will insist on the match being played on the Saturday.

    Paredes has just been capped.

    Rest I don't think are but are still young. Have been in Europe for a few years as well..Paredes and Kranevitter anyway. Roma and At Madrid respectively.
