Lets see Kaunas get a shot at Rangers. Romanov will put up a hefty bonus if the Lithuanians can do it

I'd watch that match for sure, but Kaunas had better wear their giant-killing boots . . .

Same goes for Linfield. Even if they somehow get past Dinamo, can they possibly survive two more rounds? Luckily, the second round shouldn't be too hard for them if they can win their first two legs.

These kinds of scenarios are why I love the Champions League.
