That game against Bayern must have been an electrifying match - full of drama. I bet your heart was racing by the end.
You must be so far ahead of Celtic that they might as well give you the trophy now. I see Parrott has hit a hat-trick, too. You FIFA'd Bayern! Unbelievable win and one that will be in the history books for how you held on until the end.
Man City looks like the hardest draw again, if you beat them then your could be the season to win it all.

Parrott is great for me. He was also great in the fall, and I did consider signing him permanently come end of season. So I guess Spurs recalling him halfway through just speeded things up.

Haha, yes that was a FIFA game for sure. And whilst I had the previous Europa League Quarter Final wins vs Spurs and Benfica in high regard earlier, this one truly takes the price now, as the European highlight so far in this save.
Man City will be difficult for sure. The most recent UEFA Coefficient Table had Bayern on top, with Man City second. So yes, results in the past 5 seasons does suggest that Man City is the hardest possible draw among the remaining clubs.
Echo previous comments regarding Bayern incredible result even tho was on the back foot, tbf losing 2-0 to Bayern wouldn't be considered a terrible result even after previous result, but getting the late goal and winning on pens with only shot on goal is satisfying. Tough tie again, it's one of those ties where your either gonna sneak it like against Bayern or Crazy City turn up and they unplayable

Thanks mate. I agree, I just played City in my Man United save, and they were unplayable then, winning 4-1 at Old Trafford. Awful. But this Rangers side is better put together at the moment, so there is a chance for me to do better here...

The league was a walk in the park, as expected.The gulf even between Celtic and Aberdeen is ridiculous, really, and just shows how uncompetitive the Scottish league is.
I find it incredible that the capital city doesn't have at least one team that can challenge, but I suppose that's th way it goes.
At least you can concentrate more on Europe now.

At least you can concentrate more on Europe now.I've thought about this too. Why are both the big clubs from Glasgow? And on top of that, Hampden Park is also in Glasgow. Surely you could have put the national team stadium in the capital, now you've chosen to have a stadium exclusively for the national team. Anyway, that's just my point of view as a foreigner. But yes, I did also consider taking an Edinburgh team and try to make them a competitive challenger to the two Glasgows at some point. Now that I've played so much Scotland this season, this idea may have to wait a bit. At least for me. Would be fun to see someone else have a go at it.
Just like that you have one foot into the next round and are looking like favorites back at home. Haaland on the bench is a big call for Pep.
The cup against Celtic is a blessing. Let them win the little cup while you take the league and hopefully Champions League to follow.

Yes, after three back to back cup wins for Rangers, I don't mind letting this one slide to the rivals, picking up the bread crumps... And it feels right somehow, them winning the league last season, Rangers winning the cup - and now it's reversed (IF they beat Hearts in the final of course).
The first game vs City was brilliant, especially after having stood against a storm vs Bayern. This was much easier, though it also required a bit of sharpness. I didn't have many chances apart from the two successful ones.
Another great win for this Rangers squad. Dramatic finish much like the Bayern second leg but the team keeps finding ways to get the win.
Liverpool are probably the hardest team of those left.
I do find City aren't as good in this game as they are IRL. They seem too easy to get through at times. Liverpool are a completely different proposition, however.
This is building into an interesting finale to the season...

Thanks, yeah the stats lied a bit in this one. City were very much on top of things, chasing their second goal until I got that equalizer from a successful pressure and tackle on Foden. After that I managed to maintain a bit more control, and it was a great result to kill off another giant like that...

Well, I've made it a habit to pick the hardest available team, haven't I? First Bayern, then City and now Liverpool.
You may have a point with City, but I just played them in the other save, and they were unplayable. Liverpool always comes with this heavy pressure, but I've had games against them in recent years, where I've played past their pressure quite easily, and once I've done that, the rest of the pitch is easy pickings. Bottomline, I find that both teams (or most teams) are easy sometimes and sometimes harder.

Impressive win against Liverpool. You're probably favourites now.
Sounds like the kind of match I have against them.

Sometimes these clubs just "show up", and there's really nothing you can do about it... But I suppose that's a realistic thing, that one shouldn't complain about. Anyway, as you can probably tell, the 2nd leg didn't exactly live up to the first one...
