Good luck Rangers tonight. Hope they can do Scotland and the UK proud.

Slow day at work?

Just the one plane diverted so far.

Can you imagine getting already for wee trip away to Spain for a week, no hols in last 2 years and you end up on that plane? Christ

Was going to ask the question, would Celtic fans prefer to have won the league this year or be in Seville?

Of course they would secretly think Seville, but they will never admit that.

I would have thought all Celtic fans would have wished a fellow British team well, No?

It's a no brainer. I don't like Rangers but you have to admit that the accomplishment in winning the Europa League would far outweigh winning a 2 team SPL race. And it's not even close.

To be honest, winning the Europa League would be a far bigger achievement

If Rangers win inside 90 mins, they'll technically be the worst team since AC Milan 06/07 to win a European trophy. They'll have averaged 1.6 points per game compared to AC's 1.85. While they are there on merit and have a great chance, undefeated Frankfurt are much more deserving IMO. Winning the EL is a great consolation having lost the league to Celtic.

Celtic had to win the league this season and did so, qualifying for the CL also allows time and finance to kick on. To be fair though winning the Europa League as a Scottish club would be a big achievement and probably bigger than winning the league.

What is interesting though is listening to Rangers pundits this week talking it up as being a bigger achievement than the Lisbon Lions winning the European Cup . To me that shows how much 1967 and Celtic's history irritates them. Winning the Europa league, big achievement yes but it is still a secondary competition and win or lose tonight Rangers still haven't won the big one.

It wouldn't even be a better achievement than Aberdeen's euro success in 1983.

That Aberdeen team was full of quality players. The current rangers team other than Morelos who isn't even playing is pretty poor so to get to a final is unbelievable. Fair play to them but yes hope they get stuffed

Strong England World Cup 1966 vibes about this post.

And all the ex players queuing up to beg them to behave themselves. They know well that it won't take much to kick off a mini or major riot. Any kind of a loss would do it but they may well riot if they win as well - they have plenty of previous form in that regard.

Celtic winning the league was more important to Celtic this year. Them possibly winning this would be more important to them this season but it wouldn't have been last season (if that makes sense). Hopefully the good guys win. I always liked the Germans

Don't tell that to Rangers and their friends in the media, who are ready to declare them the best Scottish team ever if they win tonight 😀

If they win, they win but it doesn't change history despite how much they want to shout.

I'd take winning the EL  and finishing 2nd in the PL  all day long. The EL winner goes straight into the CL group stage next season.

But losing the EL final does not trump winning the PL, you'd be mad to make that deal at the crossroads.

Rangers well in this
