Ignoring any title holder changes it is top 6 needed for 2nd place to get CL group stage. 7th to 15th the 2nd place team enter the qualifiers.2nd place would be a CL spot if we were top 12.
From rank 7th to 12th the cup winner (or 3rd place) is guaranteed group stage football as they start in the EL play off round and if they lose drop into the ECL groups. Because the ECL title holder spot will not be used next year 13th place CW are guaranteed group stage next season. So whoever wins this seasons Scottish Cup (or league third if us or them win cup) gets into a group. Whoever finishes second could in theory miss out on group stage anywhere by losing CL qualifier, drop into EL qualifier lose, drop into ECL play off round and lose.
