The gift that keeps on giving.

I thought it be a cold wet midweek game in November that the wheels would come off the bus - it seems to have happened a lot sooner.

I don't think they even managed to acquire a bus in the end.

Best of luck to Rangers for tonight as they fly the flag for Scottish football in Europe. They'll make a better fist of playing in Europe than the likes of Aberdeen and St.Johnstone will that's for sure.

While I'm here slagging you off, it behooves me to point out not only is this post drivel generally, it's also factually incorrect.

The Europa coefficients for the various teams...

http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/club/

1)
440 FC Progrès Niederkorn LUX 0.275 0.300 0.100 0.400 0.150 1.225

They just knocked out The Rangers. From position 440.

2)
St Johnstone, on the other hand, play FC Trakai, who at 404 are 36 points better off than the part-timers playing tonight.

404 FK Trakai LTU 0.225 0.250 0.100 0.650 0.350 1.575

3)

Aberdeen are due to play either Siroki Brijeg or Ordabasy, who appear as follows:

318 NK Široki Brijeg BIH 0.750 1.300 0.850 0.300 0.350 3.550

301 FC Ordabasy Shymkent KAZ 0.775 0.625 0.675 1.175 0.800 4.050

Siroki Brijeg are 122 points to the good of Progrès Niederkorn, and Ordabasy are 139 points better.

All three of these teams play in proper countries with proper leagues. As opposed to Luxembourg, which is basically an industrial estate cum tax-haven, with a population smaller than Glasgow.

So, all in all, even if Aberdeen or St Johnston get beaten by their various opponents, they will have been beaten by teams better than Rangers faced tonight. We don't have the opportunity to even tie with Rangers in European humiliation this summer, never mind do worse than them. 

Another minter from MJC the Sevco-lover.
