That’s won’t change any time soon, football is barely sport nowadays, especially the CL, it’s been engineered to suit a small band of countries. To be brutally honest I wouldn’t give a shit if Scottish teams stopped competing in Europe. Aberdeen have been in it four or five years on the bounce, it’s been nothing more that a pre season tour. 

Celtic maybe got to the groups but theyve next to zero chance of progressing further. Football always delivered hope and a chance at winning, take that away and what’s the point of it?

UEFAs club competition must be close to the most unfair competitions in the world.

All the tinkering that UEFA have done to their competitions over the past few years have just made them worse and worse, only to protect the interests of the top few nations - hence all the places they get and the seeding advantage. There was nothing wrong with straight knockout rounds, either, other than it didn't generate the top clubs enough money. One day, there will be a revolt among the smaller nations - the sooner the better.

Unless Motherwell win the Scottish cup hibs will more than likely be playing in Europe next season. This should be seen as positive but realistically we'll not make the group stage and all it will do is feck up pre season, then have a negative effect (confidence) when we exit to some Scandinavian or eastern European team who are 12/15 games into their season. C'mon the steelmen

Just a few days after seeing pundits drooling over the possibility of having 5 of the 8 quarter finalists it looks like the greatest league in the world will have just 2. Pleasing 😁

Soon to become 1. Liverpool v Man City in the quarter finals 😂
