Would be good if this was a sticky for every season.

Liverpool did well tonight winning 4-0 against Toulouse and Rangers also did well to get the Draw they needed to go to the group stages, Arsenal and Celtic tomorrow night of which i am confident both will get through.

Strange game the Liverpool game. Neither side seemed very interested and was very boring to watch. I gave up at three nil and turned it off. Considering the money at stake I'd have thought they'd be more urgency.

Yeah i don't like how the media tainted it as a thrashing as it was a very subdued affair.

And i'm a Liverpool fan

Well that's Celtic and Rangers out!

[Magpie]

I agree that Rangers and Celtic are probably stuffed. Chelsea don't have it easy either, nor Man United. Liverpool will be very happy though, Arsenal should make it too.

[Zachary]

I reckon Celtic will go through... just Rangers will also go through with Smith in charge

[disco-barry]

Well a dissapointing night for the British teams on the whole, Celtic carried on there abysmal away form with there 13th loss out of 14 away games in europe i believe? Liverpool we're rather lack lustre and Chelsea for all there excuses drew to a poor poor side.

Still it's only the first game so nothing to be worried about as of yet

[Magpie]

Hmm, Rangers are favourites to beat German champions Stuttgart tonight according to the bookies. Certainly don't agree with that, you don't win the Bundesliga by being anything other than a top side. I think they'll beat Rangers. A draw for Man UTD I think and a draw for Arsenal.

I think Rangers will do well to beat Stuttgart, but we can dream!

[Zachary]

Rangers will win.

Arsenal will win.

MAN UTD will draw.

You're optimistic about Rangers Zach! Although I suppose after last week, anything can happen in football

[Zachary]

Yup last week was a shock mate!

Great win 2-1 for Rangers

Arsenal 3 - 0 easy win

[disco-barry]

Great results for all the teams tonight INCLUDING Manchester United 'Zachary'!!!

[Magpie]

Good job Rangers.

Another minor miracle, I don't see the away game being the same as that one though.

I reckon walter will do just fine

Well that will be Rangers' easiest game so I suppose they had to win it. However, Lyon are struggling this year compared to last 2 or 3 years so perhaps just a glimmer of light for orange people.

It was a joy to watch Shahktar - they are the best team I've seen this season - their '3rd' goal just before the half hour was total football - one touch stuff around Celtic's box only to be spoiled by a Stevie Wonder linesman.

Do Celtic honestly think they can make an impression in the Champions League by signing Hibs, Motherwell and Dundee Utd players! Although Scott Brown is quality.

Arsenal's win over Sevilla was very impressive given the quality of the opposition although the Spaniards will probably beat them on their own turf.

Something has to give though Zach. Rangers top of the league, winning in Europe and Scotland top of the group of death for Euro 2008. The only way is painful and down...(sorry, I've been a Rangers/Scotland fan long enough to know that miracles don't happen).

I don't see how playing the German champions home or away is an easy game

[disco-barry]

It's easy if you compare it to Barcelona!
