    He was in the playing squad whilst suspended, how long he spent on the park is irrelevant. The rules are there for a reason.

    Nah, we got awarded the 2nd leg as a 3-0, we went through on away goals. If they were completely thrown out both legs would be 3-0 retrospectively like the Sion games.

    This current squad aren't good enough to go through, but we now have a chance to sign some fresh blood. Do that and we can go through.

    If the board take a "let's try and get by" attitude again, then ill genuinely believe it's deliberate sabotage by them.

    Maribor shouldn't be taken easily. Many teams do a mistake of underestimating them, becuase Slovenian First League isn't very good. The thing is however that Maribor really stands out in Slovenia, they pretty much have no serious competition in their league. They usually win the league quite comfortably.

    Some of their results in the last years:


    • Zulte Waregem 1 - 3 Maribor
    • Rubin 1 - 1 Maribor
    • Maribor 2 - 1 Wigan
    • Maribor 2 - 2 Sevilla
    • Maribor 3 - 0 Panathinaikos
    • Maribor 1 - 1 Tottenham
    • Maribor 2 - 1 Rangers
    • Maribor 3 - 2 Palermo

    Last year they got out of the group stage in the Europa League and got beaten by Sevilla, who later won the competition.

    Highlights from their last match (Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC):

    Maribor's spirit is really high at the moment. Their basic goal, which they surpassed four years in a row now, is already reached. However, it could very well be possible that they will qualify for the Champions League this year, for the second time in their history. Maribor's fans are delighted by the draw, they were hoping for either Celtic or BATE.

    In the former Yugoslavian territory, Maribor is currently probably the best club. Taking them lightly would be devastating for us, even though they will gladly admit that we're the favourites to win.

    In 2011 they have knocked Rangers out in the Europa League Play-off:

    Knocking a 2011 Rangers team out of Europe is like bragging about winning a fight against a pensioner on their deathbed.

    They lost more games than they won even though they qualified. They conceded 5 at home to Rubin Kazan & lost 3-1 at Wigan. I'm confident we'll progress.

    Aye, that's the way football works. You've nailed it. :50:

    We beat Barcelona, Morton beat us, ergo Morton would beat Barcelona.

    Maribor 15/8 (worth a bet to soften blow):icon_mrgreen:
    Draw 12/5
    Celtic 11/8

    Cannot believe Maribor are almost 2/1,I'd have thought they would be odds on after our last 2 matches!!

    We don't deserve to be here, but may as well try and qualify.

    I'm embarrassed that we've went through like this, Legia must be cursing themselves that they fielded an ineligible player when they didn't need to. Everyone knows how poor we were against Legia, so some form of minor miracle is required to have any chance of negotiating through these two matches.

    Im sure the question ronny is asking himself is...who can he trust to play this team???

    He's stated he hopes to bring in one player before the game. Therefore assuming this new signing is first choice. Who's the other 10 he could have faith in. Because after the last two games id struggle to put my faith in that lot.

    But its a bonus. We should be out. We are favourites to go through. So lets do it
