Semi final draw:

United/Grenda vs Ajax/Roma

Arsenal/Slavia vs Villareal/Dinamo

Excellent.

Perfect draw, we should absolutely make the final now.

I don’t think there’s anything to fear. They weren’t great last night. Slavia scored a second goal after Rangers had a second red card (two bookings). I didn’t see the last ten minutes but I’d have fancier Rangers to equalise if not for the cards.

The first red card was a terrible incident, the Slavia goalie took a high boot right to the face studs first. Two large gashes on his cheek and forehead needed stitches at hospital. Pictures are out there for anyone who wants to see.

The big talking point of the game was an alleged racist comment by a Slavia player directed towards Glen Kamara. There are now allegations this player was attacked in the tunnel and Slavia had to call police to leave Ibrox.

The first red card wasn't a terrible incident it was a disgusting foul. Roofe saw the goalie running out initially and still had his foot that high he didn't even pull back in the last second. Even worse when he was sent off he had the cheek to complain to the ref. Hope he gets a very long ban.

Don’t disagree with any of that. I’ve no doubt there will be a long ban for it.

If we face Utd in the final wont we face the same issue we had against Chelsea in 2019? One team already qualified for CL and the other isnt. Would be massive more pressure on us. Anyway lets get there first.

Huge bonus in that draw for us. Still fear our own flakiness more than the opposition. I think Arteta would get the team up for the final, but I’m hugely concerned about their focus in getting us there.

We've had United's number for the last few years, especially under Ole. I think it would be great facing them in a final all things considered. Pogba is the only player to fear in their team.

Glad we avoided Man Utd but we need to get to the final before we start thinking about it. I wouldn't underestimate any of the teams on our side of the draw and hope the players don't either.

Not sure about in the final but otherwise totally agree. We've been the more talented and better team for a number years now in my opinion. They were playing the worst quality of football I've seen from a top flight side, probably ever. Look a bit more cohesive and purposeful with Ferndandes but still so so poor.

Terrified of Emery but it's a very good draw.

He had to release a video, claiming his social media team thought they won 3-0 😆

Wtf this is absolute gold 😆

His social media team didn't even bother to check because it's Dinamo.😆 there's no way they were going to lose

What do majority of the Rangers fans think about it?

I saw the clip on social media and the comments were filled with how the ref made an error and it was accidental, they didn't think it was even worth a yellow. Was bewildered by that

jones

Well they are Rangers fans

DKGooner

Good draw but given the choice would prefer to play United before the final as think over 2 legs we stand a better chance than a one off match where anything can happen.

I think that element of things was way overstated. They were already in the CL because they were better than us and they beat us for the same reason. If we face United that will be our problem again, however they haven't been able to beat us this season so we'll see. Got to get there first anyway.

Were there any players from Slavia that stood out on the pitch, Tam? Anyone who could end up causing trouble against us?

Klaus

Wrighty was happy last night 😆
