    I wrote something on this subject after Rangers got to the UEFA cup final that was probably my best ever post, it was a shame it was at 3am and hardly anyone ever read it!

    Main points:

    -Do you hear Hearts/Aberdeen fans saying, "we should get relegated to the first division because we'd definitely be in with a great chance of winning that league"?
    -If you want to be thought of as a big club then you have to be in CL. The big clubs, if they are put into the UEFA don't give a toss about it, hence the fact that no really big club has won it in ages.
    -You probably get as much money (including gate receipts) in playing 2 games in the last 16 as you would from playing 6-8 in the UEFA.
    -In practical terms it means your players are less knackered for the domestic league.
    -As Jock Stein said about the Celtic shirt not shrinking to fit inferior players, our ambitions should not shrink to match the size of our pockets. I'd rather be lying in the gutter looking at the stars than, er, standing on top of an underground mountain looking down.:97:

    also in uefa cup there are good team like ac milan or others.....it's not easy....but CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IS THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE....nothing else is like that cup....remember the 2004 winner:pORTO....2007:MILAN(im italian and support this team)
    these are only two cases of what can happen when u play against the biggest european teams....also when u face an hun,u can always ask why his team is gonna play on thursay nigth...eheheheh

    Champions league, i know we would go out at the last 16, but the atmosphere it creates is electric, the money and attention we get is phenomenal.

    Champions League all the way... and I also think it's bullshit that getting to the Final of UEFA gets you twice as many seed points as the last16 of CL.
