It's enough.

Scotland should never get CL places like this. They should have to play 3/4 qualifying rounds to get to the group stages.

Porto, Braga, Feyenoord, Rapid Vienna, Galatasary, Standard Liege, Dortmund, RS Belgrade, RB Liepzig and now PSV Eindhoven (despite your repeated claims that Rangers will get murdered/pasted/etc). Teams beaten by Rangers over the past few seasons in Europe. I think we've done enough to show that we belong at that level.

The fact that you have to rack your brains to come up with a handful of Scottish top flight players in England when they were once commonplace sort of underlines why those *shouts* are right.

There's more than those, he used a few as an example to make the point. Considering Scotland is such a small country and players from, literally, all over the world now want to play in the EPL, I think we do ok.

You lot and Celtic will be the gimme games in whatever group they're in.

That could change if you were ever handed real cash from tv deals. But the reality is you wont compete and most EPL teams would do better in the group stages if they were allowed in.

Rangers had that cash a few years ago and demonstrated you could compete...but that was all illegal and you paid the penalty for it and lost your club and had to start again.

There's been a fall away in football interest up there though.

The tanner ball footballers are a thing of the past. They spend all their tanners on fried Mars Bars now.
 

I'm coming down for that game from Glasgow, perhaps Davek has a spare room for a couple of nights?

If anyone wants to set me up with a couple of tickets from the red side of their family, l have an old uncle in a care home in Liverpool and would be good to take him to the game.

Check you fishing for a reaction. I fancy us to get out that group. Most EPL teams would not do better in the group stages. Stop being silly.

Nah, there's not, there's been an upturn in teams from the 'big leagues' looking at Scotland for players.
"Deep fried Mars Bar"; really? That sort of poor patter is beneath you.
