Hearts vs. Sparta Prague (CZE) Rangers vs. Molde (NOR) Not too bad. I expect Rangers to go through although it's quite a tough one for Hearts but I think Sparta Prague are not as good as they were a few years ago when they were in the Champions League every year.
It might have been much worse for Hearts, it's probably about 50/50 for them. Rangers should go through easily enough.
Aye, they got stuck in quite a tough group of seeds, Sparta are just about the best they could have hoped for. I still think that if they want to go through they're going to need everybody fit and a half decent referee.
Of the seeds that were in the pot : Loco Moscow Blackburn Fenerbache Sparta Prague Shalke ( i think ) It was probably the best draw for Hearts , i just wished the ties had not been reversed. We will now have to play at home first so heres hoping we can a take result over to Prague along with the 5,000 Jambos. Its going to be a great euro trip to Prague - cant wait !!!
If Sparta keeps the same form they've had all year, should be a cakewalk for Hearts. Much as I would love to attend either of these matches, airfare onn short notice to anywhere in Europe from Utah is just way too much to try to come up with for me As for Rangers, if they don't advance, someone should lose their job.
rangers 2 up and as good as through, hearts nil-nil in prague and as good as out, bet they wish they had played the first leg at tynecastle now
Despite our rivalry I've got no problem to congratulate the Rangers for reaching the UEFA group stage...as it's good for the Scottish football! Pity that Hearts didn't manage to qualify.
I wanted to see them pumped but am now glad they have 5 more games in europe so they can fall even further behind in the league.
