OGC Nice  Fra 16.833
Austria Wien Aut  17.070
Astra Giurgiu Rom  17.870 
SC Freiburg Ger  20.899

Dinamo Zagreb Cro  26.050
Olympique Marseille Fra  28.333
Young Boys Sui  28.915

If you've got Marsielle in bold, you should have Nice there too IMO. They finished 16 points clear of them last season.

Strange name and sentiment from "My team: Alloa".

Extraordinary result for the Dons. Delighted for them.

You must know by now you cant officially be a Rangers fan on this forum, although I am also an Alloa fan

Delighted to get through what was unquestionably a tricky tie. For a long spell of the tie last night, it didn't look to be on the cards. However as McInnes said, our fitness showed big time later in the game. On a side note, I fully agree we looked under cooked, the same as against Fola Esch last year.

The defence got a lot of deserved criticism last week but they looked a lot more stable last night, much more maturely led by Reynolds. It is frustrating as he seems to go through phases of shakiness then stability without any rhyme or reason.

 

Stewart looks a promising player for us, took his goal well and tried to be intelligent. Albeit, he could do with developing his right foot in the way Hayes did when here. A few times last night he would have benefitted from hitting the byline rather than cutting inside. Nonetheless, positive signs and his workrate was good defensively.

 

GMS was beginning to frustrate a lot but took his goal well. It's going to take time to get used to him - he's like Niall McGinn but with even more inconsistent end product. McLean looked better than last week but still will need to grow next tie.

 

The two outstanding players for us last night were Shinnie and Christie. Shinnie's midfield display was immense. Drew so many fouls, distributed play well and drove the team forward plenty. A true leading by example performance. Ryan Christie, what can I say, it's getting to a man crush stage. He's immense. What a player. Wonderful display, played where he is best, central behind the striker.

 

Tough tie in the next round but looking forward to it. Safe trip home for those Red Army in Herzegovina.

Not clear yet whether that APOEL-Vitorul CLQ3L2 match would be on the Tuesday or the Wednesday.

Apollon Limassol v Aberdeen, KO 8pm their time (6pm UK time) on the Thursday @ AEK Arena, Larnaca.

AEL Larnaca v Austria Vienna, 7pm their time on the Wednesday @ Antonis Papadopoulos stadium, Larnaca.

APOEL Nicosia v Vittorul (Rumania), CLQ3L2, also on the Wednesday (doh!), 8pm their time @ GSP Stadium, Nicosia.
