Kairat arrive in Glasgow today after a disruptive trip across the globe. Unlike Celtic when they travel in the opposite direction next week, Kairat cannot keep to their usual body clock routine. It will be midnight in Almaty when tomorrow’s game kicks off – 2am by fulltime. For professional athletes, that’s a challenge.
There are seven Champions League playoff ties this week: five in the champions section, two non-champions. I watched Bodo/Glimt eliminate Lazio from the Europa League quarterfinal in April. Ange Postecoglou (eventually) got the better of them in the semifinal, but I expect them to make the cut against Sturm Graz.
Benfica are likely to progress against Fenerbahce, while I fancy Copenhagen against Basel. Red Star should have enough to overcome Cypriots Pafos. Ferencvaros are not the side they were five years ago, they could fall to Qarabag. As for Brugge? They have traded big this summer, spent €36m and sold €82m of talent. That’s a lot of change to pull together for their trip to Ibrox tonight. The Belgians should still edge it.
With what I am assuming is mischievous ‘paper talk going round, a friend suggested if we are looking for an older striker, it’s a pity Gerd Muller passed away a few years ago. Otherwise, he would have been ideal.

mcgregor.
havnt seen him look so shell shocked since the last court case.
Wonderful stuff from Ipox. Bruges 3 up in 20 mins whilst playing in 2nd gear. Could be anything they want. They park on our street so was a joy to see a couple of them getting back into their cars after half an hour. The night’s about to get worse for one of them. Someone’s managed to overturn their car and bash into one of theirs that’s parked for the game. Terrible thing that karma.
WBC,the blog comedian.”His patters great,so it is.Appearing every Saturday afternoon,Daldowie Crematorium.Available for Funerals,Bar Mitzvahs,you name it,he’s the man.
The things I do for people,and they don’t appreciate it.
PLB,
Can you vouch for your whereabouts at the time.😀
Dang it
Turned it off.
1-3 – they have pace on the left we need to be wary of – gassama is dangerous!
That cross should have been put out for a corner by the CH. He let it go, simple goal for huns.
Good ole var!!
SHOCKING
2-3
Gassam
Oh no, free out
Brugge letting it slip
And I’m shocked! Called off
magic
Brugge get away with one . Maybe waken them up , they haven’t come out for the second half.
“Goal” disallowed
Ball kicked when Bruges goalie has both hands on it
Still 3-1 Bruges
Bruges haven’t come out for the 2nd half.
Brugge making a complete bertie blunt of this
Brugge are 3-0 up at haltime, what do proffesional football teams do manage out the game ?
118 and 119 now sold out.

i dont agree with that.
aj will have him on toast.
show pony.
90 + 8 jesus
Brugges have been managing out the game since they went 3-1 up!
Their defenders have been playing sometimes facing their own goal ,which can also cost them!!
:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Stuck a wee fiver on Club Brugge to win 3-1 tonight @ 16/1
==========================
Well done Tom, I actually thought that was good shout and thought about placing that bet.
Needless to say I didnt. At least you told us all the bet beforehand. After 3 nil I thought you had no chance!!
Now our turn.
Let’s turn the screw even more on them with a statement performance and score line tomorrow night.
ff taking it well –
“Hi mum 43,731, came tonight I’m really happy”.
……switches on Sportsound….😁
mcgregor must have got his o-level results today, jeese oh, he is a moron.
