Looks like Europa League, so continued interest in Europe in the second half of the year.
Isn't is ridiculous that a draw in the league can be seen as a big slip-up? Just goes to show how Scotland is such a two-horse fiefdom, really, and just how narrow the margins are. But then, quite a few leagues have become just that in recent years; not good for football long-term, I think.
Yes, it's actually ridiculous. But also quite fun! Now that I'm winning so frequently in the league, I really need Celtic to do the same, more or less, to keep me on my toes and keep the season being interesting. Europe can't hold the fort on its own.
But I agree. Rangers and Celtic will also suffer from having such a weak league compared to other countries. There is a reason why the clubs need to target Championship-level players often, not really being able to compete with the Premier League clubs anymore.
Reasonable draw: Bodø / Glimt are a tough team to play against. However, if you look what you could've gotten (Frankfurt, Fener, Hammers, Spurs, Lazio) then it's not so bad after all.

Looking at that draw, it's one of the best you could hope for.
Can't see Rangers getting too far in the competition, though, with the other names even in this preliminary round.
Looks like the league continues to be a stroll, though.

Agreed. They're undefeated so far in the competition, so I shouldn't underestimated them. But I could have gotten worse, no doubt about that.

First time you're not in the chase, but actually up front. That's progress...

Haha, just played next game, a draw in Aberdeen, while Celtic comfortably won 3-0 in theirs. A short stay on the top for me, but at least there's an Old Firm next with the chance to reclaim it.
