    following the theme of Rangers going out of the Europe...

    thats right ladies and gentlemen, its another look at our potential group for the CL proper.

    in order of clubs co-efficient that decides the pot you are in...
    Pot 1
    Chelsea
    Liverpool*
    Barcelona*
    Arsenal*
    Man Utd
    Lyon
    Inter
    Real Madrid

    Pot 2
    Bayern Munich
    PSV
    Villareal
    Roma
    Porto
    Werder Bremen
    Sporting Lisbon
    Schalke*

    Pot 3
    Juventus*
    Marseille*
    Zenit St Petersberg
    Panathinaikos*
    Bordeaux
    Celtic
    Basle*
    Olympiakos*

    Pot 4
    Fenerbahce*
    Shakhtar Donetsk*
    Fiorentina*
    Spartak Moscow*
    Levski Sofia*
    Galatasaray*
    Aalborg*
    Cluj

    these are the teams expected in the group stages. some have yet to book their places, they are marked with (*). these are not set in stone. some teams may jump up a pot or even not be part of the groups all together if they get knocked out a la Rangers.

    preferd group, for me, would be...
    Lyon
    PSV
    Celtic
    Aalborg

    if we didn't qualify to the next round in a group of that, i'd be very disappointed.

    however, knowing our luck, i could bet we would get
    Barcelona
    Bayern Munich
    Celtic
    Fenerbahce/Shakhtar Donestk/Spartak Moscow

    shocking that teams like Liverpool are seeded when they have to qualafie, yet we are good enough to go straight in and are not one of the top teams in the draw.

    Its all bollox to help the so called "bigger" clubs, which in reality are not bigger!!!

    tbh if we take advantage of The Fortress we could beat anyone on our night
    it all comes down to getting points away from home and hoping the pot 1 team dominates the rest

    i would be happy with 10 points in any group tbh

    Because Fate/*/Xenu has a sense of humour we'll probably end up with -

    Man Utd (for the Manchester/'Oh no here we go again' crowd to trumpet their crap)
    Porto (so we can stuff them again)
    Aalborg/Kaunus (to show the other lot how to win against 'minnow' teams)

    Personally I would like :

    Inter
    Lisbon
    Fenerbache

    When was the last time we played any of them? Oh and if so Porto in the last 16 so we can really kick them in the *. :icon_mrgreen:

    tbh i don't think Kaunas will make it to the group stages.

    i think we're well over due a tough group. remember the days of us getting landed with Bayern Munich and Lyon or Barcelona and AC Milan.

    I could spend all day deciding which teams i'd prefer to see in our group. I wouldn't mind Chelsea or Real as we haven't played them before but the chances are it'll be Man Utd or Barca again. Sporting Lisbon looked pish last year in the Uefa cup yet they are 2nd seeds, i'd take them or maybe PSV in that group. The last one.......Kaunus if they fluke it through. :celt_2:

    by Milan do you mean AC Milan? because they are in the UEFA cup next season.

    Cluj are the Romanian champions.

    Oh Dear

    Madrid
    Munich
    Celtic
    Spartak

    To be honest though I dont mind who we get. We can beat anyone at home I reckon and if we can just get that away win we'd be laughing. Would like to get drawn against some teams we havnt played in a while or never. Would love to see Madrid or Inter

    I'd hate Inter tbh, Mourinho plays boring football and for all the man is a grade A * he usually builds winning teams.
