They were bogging against Glens until a man got sent off. Glens had a pile of chances and could have been 2 or 3 up by that point. This game has all the ingredients for a classic Scottish premature knockout. A team playing awful football, the opponent coming off a high, game is away etc. Seen this match before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be 'disappointed' though if any of them failed. I would laugh to the point of nauseousness if Rangers lost. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Gifts for Sevco and Motherwell - unless of course Coleraine can pull a rabbit out of the hat like they did in the last round knocking out Maribor. Much harder for AFC going to our buddies across the water..................if the Energy Cities Cup matches are anything to go by, we'll be fine ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers should get through easily, and while it won't be easy for Aberdeen and Well, they should have a good chance to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw someone call it the Oil Firm, which I thought was quite funny. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've not been in europe for 12 years and theyve struggled in recent years. Currently 10th in the league I agree. Progres have a better recent European pedigree that Viking. It's a tricky tie, but Norwegian football is live on BT Sport and a few games aside the quality isn't great. Viking are 10th in the league and struggling. Also, we're not playing this in the middle of July. We have a few games under our belt and are improving every week. If we play to our strengths, we'll win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger29 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I don't think the draws are too bad tbh. If you ever get drawn against a Northern Irish/Gibraltan teams home or away you can't really complain. The Aberdeen game is a fair bit trickier but I think they'll squeeze through. 3rd round looks far tougher but with all seeds away who knows what it'll look like in a few weeks. Also Celtic don't get a bye. They'll be in the 3rd rround draw tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that leaves Celtic with possible ties against Astana, Dundalk, Slovan Bratislava, Dinamo Tbilisi, Fola Esch, Djurgardens, Linfield, Buducnost Podgorica, Flora Tallinn and Riga if I'm reading that right, assuming all seeds progress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
