Fiorentina scored a late equaliser in Firenze against Sporting to ensure their place in this season's Champions League. But more importantly, their away goals win (3-3) moved Rangers into pot 2 of the Champions League draw. This means Rangers will avoid teams such as Real Madrid, Juventus, Lyon and Internazionale. At OFF, we have been speculating on the best and worst possible draws.
Best possible: Sevilla, Rangers, Bordeaux, Debrecen (Hungary) or Nicosia (Cyprus). Debrecen have the lowest Uefa coefficient ever of a CL entrant.
Worst possible: Barcelona/Arsenal, Rangers, Atletico Madrid and Wolfsburg.
Mick Statto thought there should be a third category, the boring: Manchester United, Rangers, VfB Stuttgart and FC Zurich. Rangers have played these teams too often.
Incidentally, VfB stands for Verein fur Bewegungspiele which means 'club for the community'.
The draw takes place at 5pm (GMT) tomorrow.
