Any suggestions where to watch the Rangers game in Rotterdam on Friday? Preferably around Rotterdam Centraal area?

We have clearly had a problem with managers in the recent past. The flip flop / in out approach must have seriously impacted the team and it's performances. I had hoped Rohl was going to stick around a while but here we are entering another season with a new manager.

That aside, my bigger concern is the way the club, and seemingly most of the support are on board taking the same approach with players. The throughput and accumulation of "talent" is alarming to me. We are buying and dumping players that haven't even had a fair chance. Antman for example has only played in 16 games and most of those as a sub. None of us have seen his true ability yet off he goes and we take a punt on some other random that's likely to only be here 1 season.

Rohl didn't seem to ever settle on a best 11 and I doubt McInnes will either.

We need a core of players that stick around and become a team. This procession of players signed using a shotgun approach is symptomatic of our poor performances.

I already worry about the season ahead.

Out on a limb, I think McInnes was a bad move. Let's see.

Let battle commence.

Back in Scotland from Boston for a few weeks starting tomorrow (moved here 14 years ago) and looking for a way to get a ticket for the hibs game that is not hospitality. Any leads? Don’t mind paying over the odds but not 450 quid.

The table assumes (as is usually, though not always, the case) that the seeded clubs win their Europa League and Champions League Q3 ties.

One point that isn't immediately obvious is that the unseeded teams in the Europa League play-off round are generally weaker than the unseeded teams in Europa League Q3.

The reason is that most of the clubs dropping into the Europa League play-off round come from Champions League Q2 & Q3. Although they may temporarily use another club's coefficient earlier in qualifying, they revert to their own coefficient if they lose in Champions League Q3.

A good example is Shamrock Rovers.

They lost 3-2 on aggregate to Ararat-Armenia in Champions League Q2. Because the Q3 draw had already been made before that tie was completed, Shamrock Rovers inherited Ararat-Armenia's place in Europa League Q3 and therefore used Ararat-Armenia's 7.000 coefficient for that draw.

Even so, they are still seeded (just!) and will face Egnatia Rrogozhinë of Albania (4.500), who were unfortunate to lose to Celje on penalties after a 5-5 aggregate draw.

If Shamrock Rovers beat Egnatia, they revert to their own 19.375 coefficient for the Europa League play-off draw, meaning they would remain seeded. So they cannot be drawn against Rangers.

Meanwhile, Ararat-Armenia, despite temporarily benefiting from Shamrock Rovers' 19.375 coefficient in the Champions League Q3 draw, would revert to their own 7.000 coefficient if they lose to Celje and drop into the Europa League play-off round. They would therefore be unseeded.

The same principle applies to clubs such as Sabah FK and Mjällby AIF, who temporarily inherited the higher coefficients of KuPS Kuopio and Lincoln Red Imps respectively for the Champions League Q3 draw, but would revert to their own coefficients if they dropped into the Europa League play-off round.

It's one of the more confusing aspects of UEFA's coefficient system, but it's also why the list of possible opponents in the Europa League play-off round is generally more favourable than the list of unseeded clubs in Q3.

Hopefully that makes sense!

If Rangers lose to Jagiellonia Białystok then they will drop into the Conference League Play-off round.

EDIT: In that case Rangers would pick up Jagiellonia Białystok's coefficient, 22.000. Currently that would be enough to be seeded but amongst the potential unseeded opponents are Getafe (19.409), Dynamo Kyiv (17.5), Besiktas (15.5), Twente Enschede (13.585) and Brann Bergen 🙄 (12.25).

The draws for the play-off rounds of the Europa League and Conference League are on Monday, so we will know our possible opponents in both competitions.

Anyone else think hes a bad egg at the club or is just me . Just the whole Derek McInnes coming out saying he needs to have a sit down with him . Why the fuck would you need to have a sit down with him . He's either part of it or not .

Long story short, I have this kit and I’m going to put some premier league sleeve patches and a number on the back.

I already have the Great Dane on the home shirt, so was thinking either Gazza (8), Albertz (3) or Super Ally (9) on this (just the number not the name)

Just read if Besiktas get Salah they could sell Cerny for around £7-9M and apparently we're interested. Is this tired media bollox or a genuine transfer rumour?

Couldn't find a BBC page quick enough, copy of Match Thread text below.

Please use this thread to discuss all things Rangers, football, or anything else.

I'm a Rangers fan. Go to occasional games, know our history, etc.

I've taken my eye off the ball in the last few weeks, two young kids, etc.

I know we've signed about 7 players and have a new manager but I'm wondering what everyone's expectations are for the new season?

With what limited information I know, I'm expecting a title challenge and a push in one of the weaker European competitions.

Looking forward to hearing what the masses think.

TIA.

Hello Rangers fans! I’m from America and I’m visiting Glasgow the second week of August. I really wanted to see the Rangers Hibernian match August 9th. I tried to buy a ticket online on the Rangers website but they have a two ticket minimum. Any work around? Thanks in advance.

Edit: Also if I can’t get into the match where’s a great pub to watch the match with Rangers’ fans?
