Think they’re separate. A fringe benefit might be better quality European competition for Scottish teams and better chance of progression to groups etc. Means better chance of keeping our better players longer, but stil playing high level football.... Also means the season starts a few weeks later avoiding players being burnt out in September. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We start in 13th I believe and we actually have a small chance of making 11th that year (group stage for champions). Turkey have done poorly this year and most of their teams could be out tomorrow, while rangers and Celtic could both be through. If both could get to the second knockout round, we could set ourselves up great for a crack at 11th next year. For this season (to determine the coefficient for 21/22) we are behind Czech Republic by just under 1 point (2 wins). With Celtic already through and rangers in a great position to qualify, I'm quietly confident we'll catch thrm. Getting to 14th means 1 less qualifying round for the champions and Scottish cup winners Cheers for that, I thought it was position at the start of the season, not end of previous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Both teams through gives us a great chance of reaching our target but that late goal could prove to be vital. All depends on the draw now. I'd like Celtic to get APOEL as beating them would be huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a great chance in that we have 2 teams to their 1 but the luck of the draw could completely null that. Celtic get Roma, Rangers get Inter, APOEL get Malmö. If that happened I'd give us little chance of catching them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Do people still think the co efficient matters? The CL/UEFA doesnt want scottish clubs. Even with two CL spots the chances of qualifying are minimal now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked back and Switzerland where 12th the year before and Zürich started in the group stages.

If that is the change then the Europa League is just going to end up the lesser teams of big countries. It doesn't seem right though, only 20 teams would start in the Europa League.
