With Rangers in the last 16 draw today, let’s look at the sides we could face in the draw, not that we’ll be scared of any of them:

Red Star, Eintracht Frankfurt, Galatasaray, Leverkusen, Lyon, Monaco, Spartak Moskva, West Ham

The only side there that could be a tough contest is Dortmund’s countrymen Leverkusen, themselves mauling the Westfalienstadion side recently, Rangers-style.

Lyon obviously were too much for Steven Gerrard’s Rangers, but Giovanni’s Rangers nailed a comfortable draw and they are quite negotiable.

With Dortmund gone, Spanish duo Barca and Sevilla (both unseeded so on Rangers’ side of the draw) along with Italian cracks Atalanta are the favourites, but with Rangers’ shock result, the Famous’ position in the odds has risen, with an impressive 11th in the rankings.

This is probably unfair in itself, given what we’ve actually done in this tournament, but we’ll still take it.

Can Rangers go all the way?

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

The draw is Friday at 12PM.
