Now that the weekends distraction is done with, we now focus on the big game.
Rangers V RB Leipzig in the europa cup semi final.
our players are 2 games away from being immortalised not only in rangers history but also Scottish footballs.
Can we do it, were defo up against it, Leipzig are favourites, but magical things can happen at Ibrox.
I see they were beat last night against Monchengladbach, wouldnt read too much into that with the biggest games in their clubs history coming up.
If.... IF we somehow manage to win this, it will without doubt be the greatest moment in my gers supporting life, nothing will come close.
9IAR, nup Id celebrate this one more.
For the state of the game at the moment for us to be in the semi final its an OUTSTANDING achievement.
Do us proud bears.
The Big one

- rangers took a decision to not sell their prized assets at the end of last season which would’ve generated money that could have been spent on the squad.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Did rangers not offer their players or make it clear that they were for sale? Selling footballers is not a purely passive activity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
this is the sorta thing you weed ned to know in order to make your statement?
who did we offer out and for how much? Or do you not have a clue? .......

Malmo result was huge for us, as it looked likely rangers would have 2 consecutive CL windfalls if they had qualified last summer
----------------------------------------------------------------------
this is a good point to be fair... I thikn we would ahve strengthened had we made the champ league as a lot of that money would have been upfront. As things stand we have made that sort money anyway from the europa however it has been drip fed throughout the year.

If Rangers don't win the Europa, Id imagine GVB will be confident of navigating the qualifiers in the summer given they will be seeded aswell. Always a lottery these games given how early they come but it's a bonus going straight to 3rd one and being seeded.
Before this season we started the summer in 3 consecutive seasons knowing we'd need to get past 4 rounds of qualifying to make.....realistically never happening.

We would never have reached the semis of the Europa without Morelos, Kent etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why not? If the money had been properly reinvested.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What, like Celtic did...and got skelped in Europe?

Aye but we got skelped the year before when we weren’t rebuilding so that’s much of a muchness 😃

We're now in the third qualifying round and seeded which helps. Not a guarantee by any means as this season showed but would rather be seeded than not. Also means a longer break pre season which is a big thing, there were previous years when we got about 2 weeks break which is no good to anyone. I think one year under Pedro it might even have been 10 days!

Loving this....don't particularly have anything against Liverpool but after listening to that vvank Jason Cundy rip Villarreal to shreds last week, saying they were an embarrassment to Uefa if this was the level of UCL semi finalists and all sorts of $hite.....I'd love to see them thump Liverpool here
