 The final games of the qualifying rounds, and the whittling down of everyone below this line into 6 group stage  Notable fuckups this year include past cheaters Marseille, everyone’s favourite geopolitical headache Sherif, Sparta Prague and Dinamo Zagreb. Tonight’s games are; Royal Antwerp v AEK Athens Royal Antwerp Played five domestically. DWLWD. Loss to Anderlecht. Conceded only three goals this season so far, scoring 9. First draw was the Belgian Super Cup which they went on to win. Managed by Mark von Bommel (he of the ludicrous career and even more ludicrous on field disciplinary record). Current Sporting Director Marc Overmars (he of the ludicrous career and even more ludicrous off field disciplinary record) Biggest goal threat is Vincent Janssen (4 this season) who continued the tradition of players leaving Spurs and then immediately winning trophies by hoovering up a cup and league in Mexico with Monterrey before going on to win the CONCACAF Champions League. Moved to Antwerp and won a double last season. It’s their first European game this season. AEK Athens Played no games domestically. Current form is WD, in the two legs of the previous round of qualifiers against Dinamo Zagreb*. Have conceded three goals this season so far, scoring 4. Have just spent 3.5m on re-signing the brilliantly named Ezequiel Ponce from Elche and have put him straight into their CL squad, so likely to play some role tonight. Otherwise goals spread throughout the team so far. *That previous tie with Zagreb was marred by the death of an AEK fan after Zagreb ultras flouted a ban. The first leg was postponed until last Saturday and became the second leg. The timeline of that game went; AEK 0-1 Zagreb (45+2) [AEK 2-2 Zagreb] AEK 0-2 Zagreb (65) [AEK 2-3 Zagreb] AEK 1-2 Zagreb (90+2) [AEK 3-3 Zagreb] AEK 2-2 Zagreb (90+10) [AEK 4-3 Zagreb] With the last goal being this one; https://youtu.be/rtWW7i7nnjg An awful lot of football to be playing on rusty legs almost back to back for AEK, along with everything that happened off the pitch, and without much of a run in of competitive games. Antwerp could and probably should put up a healthy buffer for the second leg. Saying that, Belge’s gonna belge so 2-1 AEK? Rakow v Copenhagen Rakow gently caress knows, had never heard of them. Came up from the 1st Qualifying Round and have beaten Flora Tallinn, Qarabag and Limassol in the non-Champions path to get to the Playoffs. Current form looks like; Europe: P6 W5 D1 L0 GF11 GA4 Domestic: P4 W2 D1 L1 GF8 GA4 Total: P10 W7 D2 L1 GF19 GA8 So might be fair to say they’re stretched thin competing on both fronts? Lukasz Zwolinkski as their man target man? Scored 3 in 2 appearances so far. Someone with knowledge of Polish football can explain why they’re better than Lech Poznan all of a sudden. FC Copenhagen I think have firmly cemented themselves into the dependable Pot 3 list. Current form is WWWWWDWD*W. In amongst that the 4th round win against Breiðablik* 8-3 on aggregate, followed by two draws against Sparta Prague that ended in a penalty shootout. Currently sharing the goals between their front 3, with Gonçalves, Óskarsson* * and Larsson*** on 13 goals and 7 assists for the season already. ** Scored a hat trick and got an assist in the tie against Breiðablik, currently managed by his Dad. *** Scored 3 and has an assist in Europe this season, currently the son of Henrik Larsson and gently caress I’m an old man. * I think the longest run in the competition without reaching a group stage? The draw for this game was going on while Pep was still trying to hunt down and catch Jack Grealish.  Last but not least; Rangers v PSV Eindhoven (The narrative derby) Rangers Having got Beale from QPR, have backed him to the hilt this summer, doing what needed to be done last year in refreshing much of Gerrard’s squad and starting XI. Long-term targets like Cifuentes have been brought in from LAFC, with Butland, Danilo, Lammers, Dowell, Dessers, Sterling and Sima all being brought into the side this window, and Cantwell and Raskin in the January before as well. Gone are McGregor, Arfield, Colak, Morelos*, Sakala, and Kent. Beale has also left Hagi out of the European squad for the game. He’s coming back from injury last season, but it doesn’t seem like Beale rates him at all, and I can’t understand why - his goals against Braga in the EL were fantastic. Performances are what you’d expect from a starting XI that haven’t played together more than once, with the loss against Kilmarnock annoying as gently caress. Lammers and Dessers both getting stick already, with Lammers guilty of missing a gilt edge chance to put the Servette game to bed. Cantwell seemingly enjoying his role as the new panto villain of the SPFL. Raskin and Cifuentes are both great signings and I’m glad they’re the base of the midfield. Current form; Europe: P2 W1 D1 L0 GF3 GA2 Domestic: P3 W2 D0 L1 GF6 GA1 Total: P5 W3 D1 L1 GF9 GA3 In a world of uncertainty, it’s nice/worrying/horrifying to know that our most dependable goalscorer is still Tav at right back (406 games, 103 goals), with 2 from 2 in Europe so far. *Top ten in the all-time goalscorers list for the Europa League with 27 in 51 appearances. Left under a cloud because he was asking for more money and badly advised by his agent. Currently without a club. Replaced with three strikers who have not scored more than 27 European goals between them. PSV Eindhoven It translates from ‘forever in Ajax’s shadow’ in Dutch I think. Current form is WWWWW. One of those was the Dutch community shield. First top level trophy Peter Bosz has won as a manager in Holland. Europe: P2 W2 D0 L0 GF7 GA2 Domestic: P3 W3 D0 L0 GF6 GA1 Total: P5 W5 D0 L0 GF13 GA3 Scoring for fun, not giving up many chances. Luuk de Jong their main attacking threat. Have lost Xavi Simons to Leipzig via PSG, but have got Pepi, Lang and Schrouten in as £25m worth of attacking options bought this window. Have also got Sergino Dest in on loan from Barcelona, as well as Malik Tillman from Bayern. Tillman was on loan last season with Rangers with an option/obligation to buy, scored in Europe, won YPOTY, was genuinely loving good. Bayern recalled him by paying off the contract(?), haven’t sold him on. Straight into their squad for tonights game. I can only see one inevitable and depressing result. Though it does mean PSV have three US players in their squad so who knows? Think the game is going to see two teams with weak defensive but offensively strong wingers/fullbacks attacking from out wide a lot. 20+ corners, less than 20 bits of quality. From the Rangers side, think a lot of yellow cards and defensive lapses. Don’t know if I’m being objective or just optimistic that they’ll only be yellows. The other three games are tomorrow. Fans of Braga, Young Boys, Panathanikos, Molde, and Maccibi Haifa are invited to make their own post to laugh at Galatasaray.

We’ve ridden so much luck and inexplicable PSV decision making but that was absolutely a p nice goal. Half time and as close in the other games; Antwerp 1:0 AEK Possession: 49 / 51 Shots | On Target: 2 | 1 / 5 | 1 Rakow 0:1 Copenhagen Possession: 48 / 52 Shots | On Target: 1 | 1 / 0 | 0

That was not a p nice goal. Though it had been coming, this has been pretty end to end but PSV better at building pressure and supporting that first wave with midfield runners.

The CL teams can fend for themselves but there is an important bit of Battle of Britain free to air European football happening this afternoon so; 17:45 on BBC Scotland (iPlayer > Channels > scroll past CBeebies > BBC Scotland > Sportscene Live) Hibernian FC vs Aston Villa in the EUCL playoff. No second chances here, loser is out, winner gets group stage football in the competition Spurs got knocked out of in comedy style. First European tie for Villa in over a decade. First chance for Unai Emery to work them back towards silverware. I think the following three images sum up the game best;   https://i.imgur.com/06C3t7S.gifv
