Scotland's 2 Champions League places in 2021/22 now confirmed

[ssblue]

With Olympiakos going out tonight Scotland is guaranteed 2 CL spots for 21/22.

 

[Balogun1]

Not sure whether to be happy about this or not? Guess it depends on who wins the previous title.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Do league winners go straight in or have to go through qualifying round(s)?

 

[harbourbear]

Looking forward to starting in QR3 next season... As champions!

 

[Burgh Loyal]

Do league winners go straight in or have to go through qualifying round(s)?

Qualifying

 

[ssblue]

Do league winners go straight in or have to go through qualifying round(s)?

Round 2 for runners up.

Round 3 for champs.

I think.

Hopefully Rangeral or someone can clarify.

 

[rangeral]

Can't drop any lower than 15th place thanks to Wolves knocking out Olymiakos
Basel still in

14th - champions QR3 2nd place non Champion route QR2

15th - both routes QR2

 

[GodStruth]

I'm sure Rangers will get the credit we deserve for earning this

This is a very good thread that explains everything.

 

[Burgh Loyal]

Round 2 for runners up.

Round 3 for champs.

I think.

Hopefully Rangeral or someone can clarify.

Think we need Basel/ Switzerland not top overtake Scotland in what remains of this year's europa.

 

[ssblue]

Think we need Basel/ Switzerland not top overtake Scotland in what remains of this year's europa.

We are 14th.

Top 15 get the 2 CL spots.

Only Switzerland can overtake us.

 

[HowdenEnder]

All down to our efforts, not that you'll hear anyone admit that.

 

[LLLG]

Think we need Basel/ Switzerland not top overtake Scotland in what remains of this year's europa.

Is that possible ? Looks like it could be

 

[Burgh Loyal]

We are 14th.

Top 15 get the 2 CL spots.

Only Switzerland can overtake us.

Aye mate, if swiss put us down to 15th then champions would go in to 2nd q round
Runners up this season are q2 regardless

 

[SuffolkGer]

All down to our efforts, not that you'll hear anyone admit that.

I dunno Kilmarnock got a 2-1 win over Connahs Quay Nomads before losing the 2nd leg 2-0, they did their part.

 

[rangeral]

Round 2 for runners up.

Round 3 for champs.

I think.

Hopefully Rangeral or someone can clarify.

If 14th

If 15th QR2 both routes

 

[insanicdrunk]

I'm sure Rangers will get the credit we deserve for earning this

Just shows what the 'country' lost when we ended up in the 4th tier.

 

[ssblue]

Aye mate, if swiss put us down to 15th then champions would go in to 2nd q round
Runners up this season are q2 regardless

Still 2 CL places regardless.

I think Basel would need to win the tournament to take 14th anyway.

That ain't happening.

Explains everything pretty well.

 

[Bangersbc]

Let's take it as a win.

Much as we would love to have deprived Celtic, this means that we are almost guaranteed a crack at the Champions League, and knowing gerrard's record in Europe we could have a lot of fun and earn some cash on the way!

 

[Burgh Loyal]

We are 1.675 co efficient points ahead of Switzerland, i can't work out if the swiss can overtake us even if they go on and win the tourney lol

 

[club175]

Is there still a champions and non champions path ?

 

[wsb&warmy]

Canny wait to hear that Champions League music before kickoff again.

 

[Eighteen Seventy Two]

That’s great news... for the mentally challengeds.

 

[Burgh Loyal]

Is there still a champions and non champions path ?

Yes mate

 

[Uddy Gers]

3rd place/cup winners in Scotland go into 3rd Round of EL.

Bit of a pisstake considering we’ve have to go from Round 1 every season.

 

[bloodandfire]

It'll be a tough ask to reach the groups for the team finishing second.
We obviously want to win the league and get the "easier" matches.

 

[club175]

Yes mate

Thanks. Will be nearly impossible to qualify from the non champions path so we better win the league

 

[UnionCruiser72]

3rd place/cup winners in Scotland go into 3rd Round of EL.

Bit of a pisstake considering we’ve have to go from Round 1 every season.

Just a result of how well we’ve performed, we’ve jumped right up the coefficient table because of our last two campaigns.

Think we were 26th only a few years ago.

 

[Coplandbear]

Excellent news.

 

[Ubik]

Not sure whether to be happy about this or not? Guess it depends on who wins the previous title.

us and aberdeen if the poets 'off field issues' take hold

 

[Bluenose1992]

I would fancy us under Gerrard to qualify via the Champions or Play off route. No big 4 teams remember in either path way.

 

[ssblue]

We are 1.675 co efficient points ahead of Switzerland, i can't work out if the swiss can overtake us even if they go on and win the tourney lol

It is 3 points for every single leg tie win divided by the amount of teams that country had in the tournament.

Basel would get 0.6 points per win so need to win the tournament to overtake us.

Not happening but even if they manage it we are 15th.

 

[MightyGersLand!]

Think we need Basel/ Switzerland not top overtake Scotland in what remains of this year's europa.

They get 0.4 Co eff points per win.
That's 1.2 more if its 1 leg.
If Copenhagen won 3 matches we (Scotland) would still be 0.425 ahead of them.

It is 0.6 points per win for Basel who I presume you mean.

See ssblue post above mate, different co efficient points for the single leg ties

 

[Mexi]

It shows what consistency in Europe can bring

 

[Tugay83]

Is there still a champions and non champions path ?

Aye. Non champs path extremely difficult though.

 

[tottie beck]

Typical of the mentally challengeds luck. They really are jammy bassas

 

[Ballymena]

Think it's safe to say Gerrard will be here next season to have a crack at champ league qualify. And if we qualify we stand to make some serious cash. Will definitely attract good players

Explains a lot

 

[rinosprayer]

Amazing, we welcome the chase!

Unlike the lot with a one club policy. It actually benefits them for us to succeed.

 

[Forzapapac]

excellent news we have done the country proud

 

[rinosprayer]

excellent news we have done the country proud

Am sure our efforts as Scotland’s premier team in Europe will be roundly applauded

 

[Dado's Bandage]

I'm sure Rangers will get the credit we deserve for earning this

Quite the opposite in fact. Read an article from the Sun that blamed us for not getting a second spot for this season due to losing tonight.

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

Canny wait to hear that Champions League music before kickoff again.

It’s the only way we’ll get rid of Charles Green.

Read that mate, in fact read it a few times and still have no idea what the clown (oops I mean reporter) is actually saying, but I do know that he’s doing everything he can to not actually praise Rangers for their incredible European journey the past couple of seasons - embarrassing!!

 

[mdingwall]

Scotland gets two Champions League spots

Scotland will have two places in the Champions League next season after confirming their place in the top 15 of Uefa's coefficient rankings.

[BigDGrant]

Other Scottish teams euro efforts have been an utter disgrace.
