Superally Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 I think we should all congratulate Rangers on reaching their first European cup final tonight. A remarkable achievement when you consider their entry into the Scottish leagues some 10yrs ago. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 They've beaten some fantastic teams. There on merit. Capable of winning it and puts Scottish football on the map in Europe. Well done and judging by all the posts on social media using autocorrect, they're Saville bound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Rangers will win this as the Omens are good. Beat 3 German teams to win it and in Seville too. What can go wrong?, apart from hun hordes wrecking a beautiful city 🤔🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Lots of Seville residents booking a holiday in Ukraine at the time of the final. It's a great achievement, but will do nothing for clubs like the Pars. The Old Firm are only going to get better players in and make it nigh on impossible for others to challenge. There was a discussion somewhere about the effect of a home crowd on a result. Well, throughout that comp, the home crowd certainly made a difference to Rangers. Aside from a freakish, one off night in Dortmund, where everything seemed to go for them, their away performances have been extremely average.

Digs Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 It's some achievement to be fair and deserved given some of the performances and results. Like Raymie says, the first thing that came into my mind was that they're not going to be playing at Ibrox for the Final. Their home form has been nothing short of magnificent and is what has got them there IMO. Away from home, fairly average for the most part. I do hope they win though as I always like to see Scottish teams do well. It was especially pleasing to see West Ham and Leicester get papped out from the 'Best League in the World' ©️ leaving just our 'farmers league' team in it from the UK.

DA-go Par Adonis Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 They've done exceptionally well to get there. I think we German-owned clubs have to stick together for the final though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Red Sox Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Not a fan but to be fair they have done well. The zoo that is Ibrox looked to be bouncing last night. Like neither of the big two but do tend to “support” them in Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguinePar Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Gutted they made it this far, and hope they get humiliated in the final. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 It’s 2022 and Rangers are still releasing Orange strips. Genuinely can’t think of a more disgraceful football club on the planet. Just vile. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ironic that Celtic were the last Scottish team to play a EL final in Seville. Although the number of fans who made the trip increases exponentially every time it's mentioned, reports at the time suggested they were generally well behaved in spite of almost drinking the city dry. I wish I could feel similarly optimistic about the behaviour of the True Blues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digs Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 I've read elsewhere that Rangers are playing it on a big screen in Ibrox. Makes sense. Saves fans a fortune, makes Rangers some cash and saves Seville from getting ransacked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time a team called Rangers played and won a final in Spain they got banned for 2 years for rioting so I share your pessimism.
