    Not the tie I wanted but since we've played this lot before we know what expect unless they've changed a lot since then.

    Thought they were * when we played them last year. They couldn't have played us at a better time and they still couldn't beat us.

    They lost the plot in the second leg. Just go after them from the start like we did against Hapoel.

    Delighted with the draw. Avoiding Hapoel and Riejka was the big thing for me. Only downside is the home leg first but we beat them last season so we will beat them again.

    Both teams have to take a 7hr flight so we are at no disadvantage over them.

    I’m more concerned about the travel and not doing so well in first leg like against rbk

    Astana are * it mate!

    We're the worst draw they could've got.

    They will have to worry about not conceeding away goals in the return leg which is arguably the more important leg. So pressure is on them.

    I think this is actually not a bad draw, the last time we played them they got quite lucky. Scored a couple of screamers to keep themselves in the tie and never really threatened otherwise.

    The travel is the same for them coming to Glasgow so I don't think it is a valid reason to be fearful or negative. I actually think we could hammer them at home. Rosenborg are far better IMO. Well going on Astana from last year.

    Why do people get all worked up about the travel when it's the same for both teams :56:

    It doesn't matter whether 60.000 home fans or 500 away fans celebrate us getting to the group stages. It's just about getting there.

    We did, just, but break it down.

    We beat them with a piece of Paddy inspired magic in the away leg (Who won't be with us this time round)

    We got TWO penalties in the home leg to win the game, when will that ever happen again in the one game for us never mind in Europe?

    Also, the ties were reversed and we had the advantage of playing at home second.

    Tbh I'll admit I'm bricking it

    Beat them last year and we are better this year than last. Do we reckon Rosenborg are a better side than them?

    Worried about the pitch again. Looking at clips from the game there last year, it looks rock solid. Can't risk Sviatchenko's knee if he comes back from injury. Looks like it might be Ajer again. Or Bitton.

    I'm actually pleased on this occasion that we are playing at home first - gives us a chance to take a 2 goal lead over there and then counter attack.

    They are a decent side with some group stage experience - but we should do the business and qualify.

    I don't think they will be pleased to have drawn us, and we have the psychological edge from winning last year.

    2 or 3-0 at home and we are through.

    We shouldn't be * ourselves with these cuts
