This is Skoko's mob that murdered Blackburn in the First Round. Some danger players in Skoko and also their striker Youla (?) could raise a problem for my Italian boys.

Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's off to Norge we go...

Shouldn't be too difficult - certainly an easier prospect than Basel were anyway.

Both Celtic and Liverpool should get through.

Always tough for the Scandanavian teams. The Norwegian season, for example, runs from April until November so it means that they are playing these big matches in the middle of their off-season.

What a match that will be. It's a crying shame the UEFA Cup isn't shown here ... I'd love to see that one!

I don't think either side should take that for granted... people underestimate the strength of Czech club football, and Rangers discovered that last season when they went to Viktoria Zizkov. Bulgarian clubs' European performances have also improved in the last couple of years and Levski are unlikely to be the push-overs you imagine.
