Drawn two Elite teams but it's not as bad as it sounds. We've been luck to get home ties with Rangers and PSG, hopefully at home we can give Rangers a run for their money, and we should be confident against newcomers PSG. So with damage limitation away to Barca, there is at least some chance of us going through.

Happy To Get The Two Home Matches Against Osasuna & Ajax Leaving Bayern Munich Away Which Will Be 0 Points To Us!

Beat Aberdeen and PSG and I am through, Aberdeen are a decent team and are not much worse than Rangers, should be a tricky game, PSG wont be walkovers so will have to be at my best, Barcelona are a tough nut for anybody to crack and must be favourites. Good wee group.

Good wee group. Not an easy group by any stretch of the imagination. We're fortunate to have our one home game against Aberdeen, but away to Rangers might be the key game for us. Maybe PSG can throw a spanner in the works too.

Group E will be tricky as anyone could beat anyone. No favourites so all four teams will be looking to win.

Group H FC Porto (Elite) Inter Milan (Elite) Werder Bremen (Div1) Lyon (Div1)
Tough draw for us as well...although we got two home fixtures so that helps.
Game 1: Home to Inter. They aren't the force they once were and we have dealt out some cup shocks in the past so not going to be too negative in this one. They are beatable.
Game 2: Away to Werder Bremen. One of four games we play against Werder this season. On paper our best chance of a win and two good results could mean Game 3 doesn't matter. I don't have a great record against the germans though...
Game 3: Home to Porto. The man, the legend will be coming to Lyon. We've faced him before and kept RVN quiet but always difficult. Hoping by this game we are already through...
The fans want a cup run and we will be going to try to win every game this season.
