Rangers start their European campaign with a tricky tie against Dynamo Kyiv. They travel to Lithuania for the first leg.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
We're gonna struggle if we go to Lithuania for that game.

Ain't Lublin in Lithuania?

Lublin Triangle starts in Lithuania though...

Rangers/Dynamo Kyiv
vs
Salzburg/Twente

Cannot see Rangers going through both ties. Another fail for Scottish teams

Based on Saturdays performance and Kyiv's 2QR performance, Rangers are going to get slapped about tomorrow. But shocks can happen.

Give us £150m a year from TV and we'll compete. The union dividend, eh?

Jose Mourinho's path back to Champions League football is Lille then Slavia Prague or Union Saint-Gilloise. He will fancy his chances.

Young Boys vs Galatasaray is the only definite fixture in play-off round

Europa draw highlights:

Lincoln Red Imps/Dinamo Minsk vs Anderlecht
Panathinaikos/Ajax vs Bodo/Glimt or Jagiellonia*
Qarabag/Ludogorets* vs Petrocub/The New Saints
LASK vs Steaua Bucherest/Sparta Prague*
Malmo/PAOK* vs Shamrock Rovers/Celje
Braga/Servette vs Trabzonspor/Rapid Vienna
Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih/Viktoria Plzen vs Hearts



*Losers of the CL Q3 tie.

We're going to struggle v Kyiv.

Ben Davies was poor at the weekend so I'm assuming if our new signing is half fit he gets thrown in.

We've got two energetic midfielders that look like they need an experienced head to manage them, i suspect that might be a job for Tom Lawrence on Tuesday. A guy that's produced his best Europe but isn't really a CM imo.

Up top if the Dessers we know and hate turns up then we can forget it but if he shows up as his alter-ego CD9 which he does once in a blue moon then Kyiv defenders will be need ankle surgery on Wed morning and we'll be in a strong position for the 2nd leg.

Conference draw highlights:

St Mirren/Brann vs Astana/Corvinul
Lens vs Panathinaikos/Ajax
St Patrick's/Sabah vs Iberia Tbisli/Basaksehir
Chelsea vs Braga/Servette
Copenhagen/Banik vs Kilmarnock/Tromso
