According to the Kassiesa site Rangers coefficient is now at 14.250 (start of this season it was 5.250). We were 126th in the ranking and have now moved up 30 places to 96th.
That's some jump.

It comes into play the season after next.
The way we've performed in Europe, I'd back us to beat the teams that have stopped Celtic qualifying for the Champions League the last couple of seasons.

How so?

Portugal

Ukraine
Switzerland

Austria
Holland

OK. Its 3 games we'd need to win.
Basel and LASK made it this year and I wouldn't say they are that much better than us.
But even then, winning 1 qualifier guarantees Europa league.
And even if you lose the first one, your into round 3 of Europa league qualifiers.

With the top 4 from England, Italy, Germany and Spain going through automatically. Is the non-champions route a bit more doable?
to be honest I hadn’t realised it had changed. I thought you still had to beat all the teams from the top 4 leagues

We are currently 90 minutes away from the last 16 of the Europa League, having beaten last season’s Champions League quarter finalists on the way. I think you’re underestimating us.
we are going great in Europe and if happily be proved wrong but I really don’t think we would get through three ties against teams at least as good as braga . That said you just never know and we do tend to raise our game

Don’t have to worry about English, German etc 4th teams as they all qualify automatically now.
olympiakos got through non champions path so no reason we or they couldn’t

This.
It will give us a crack at the CL, which is great, but even if we don’t progress beyond the first hurdle, we’ll have less EL qualifiers to negotiate, and as we’ve all seen, that’s really not a bad fall back position to have.
If there’s one thing this team is set up to do well it’s playing in Europe.
With some better players and more experience under our belt, I wouldn’t rule us out whatsoever.

Why not? Did you see the teams in it this season?
see above I thought we still had to play teams like Seville, Chelsea and inter Milan to get in
i cannot wait to have the hairs on the back of my neck stand up again at Ibrox with the champions league tune blasting over the tannoy.

Fair enough. With this years teams we definitely could have managed it.
None of them made it to the group stage.
Hoping all the information in this thread is accurate.
If so, the service that Stevie G and Gary Mac have done for this club, with the european performances, is truly astonishing.
Now, let‘s see some of that gold dust sprinkled onto our domestic position, please

Brugge and Olympiacos it was then, sorry. It was early!
Point stands though.

While it does seem daunting in principle we should look at the teams we’ve played and matched up to in the last couple of years - Maribor, Villarreal, Rapid Vienna, Spartak, Legia, Feyenoord, Porto, Young Boys. All these teams are of very good pedigree and not to dissimilar as to what we could expect in a qualifier?
Yes so much for all the lies told by pretty much the whole of Scottish football that we would be better off/fine without Rangers. Has been an absolute shambles and only getting the respect back now (coinciding with our return, unsurprisingly).
Talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face! Only in backwards Scotland....

As much as we dont want to play conference league.
You get umpteen goes through the UCL non champions path to drop in the Europa then the Conference and i think you would need to lose 3 ties to ever decreasing standard of opposition not to be in it.
Decent safety net.
Of course it appears just as Celtic dont have a guaranteed title every year.

Couldn’t care less if we never played in the Champions league ever again....
the Europa League is a far more enjoyable tournament. Teams are more evenly matched

scum to go out to VAR and then ask for UEFA to get Clancy in for their games in the future
UEFA to give them their 300th fine for whinging about it

Straight into Europa group though if a team goes out. PreSeason will start 4 weeks later which won’t hurt.

Surely the third and fourth team should even pick up some points in the conference

Rangers are Scottish football, let's not kid ourselves here.
No surprise the co-efficient fell through the floor during our absence from the top flight.
Timmy and all the diddy clubs cannot be trusted with it.

Not far off being seeded for the last qualifying round for Europa now.

It's actually going to be more difficult to improve our league's coefficient. The conference will still have teams of a higher standard than Command Quay. The points in that competition will be lower than Europa League. We'll have an extra team almost certainly adding 0 points to the coefficient. The extra team will also mean every point we get will be divided by 5 rather than the current 4.

There is a downside unfortunately... less qualifiers less easy games less co-efficient points.. 5 teams in Europe means each co-efficient point is then divided by 5 instead of 4.. but fck it.. it is what it is..

We now have the same club coefficient points as Liverpool this season. (18)
Sort of feel this way too.
The CL and EPL feel like different sports, and I’m not really into them. There’s too much self preservation, commercialism and not enough soul. It’s the equivalent of a Michael Bay movie.
And now the top contributors in Scotland to the coefficient this season.

How many more points do you think we will need?
