Agreed. If the other clubs change to style more suitable in Europe, they are more likely to progress, benefiting us and them (the other clubs - celtc can take care of themselves).It really is time that Aberdeen, Hibs, Motherwell, Kilmarnock etc. who during the season, are desperate to get into Europe, start to get their finger out to build a team and coach tactics for making a go of European competition.
Hammer throwing can only fail. The referees do not, on the whole, find rough house tactics acceptable, so change is needed to stop them being beaten by teams from ROI, Wales, San Marino etc.
They do not need to like it, but surely they are waking up to the positive effect that Rangers are having - that can only be to the benefit of Scottish football.
Whilst I really do not give a monkeys chuff about the other Scottish teams, it would be nice to get some help with the coefficient.
I’m hoping for a 5-0 drubbingI want them absolutely destroyed tonight.
Depends what we do points wise and how long we are in the competition to make that achievable after that it depends which other teams are in the play-off round - a win tonight helpsWe should be on around 25 points next season?
Potentially could be seeded for the play off round as well with that co-efficient. Assuming we win the league of course.
Having a 5th euro place will damage our coefficient as dross get KOd early but our points get divided by 5 not 4.I’ve been keeping an eye on the coefficient recently and Scotland’s for UEFA comps is at 12th, which most of us know. Have we ever been higher in recent times?
Anyway, I was thinking about other Scottish teams in Europe and how much I always want them beat, heavily, but, is this just cutting our noses off to spite our faces?
could you or do you support other Scottish teams doing well in Europe?
Should we start trying to support other Scottish teams in Europe?
I don’t know if I can but it would really help us if they did better.
The more damage done to their confidence the better for us. The longer they go without winning the more fractious lennon becomes. Could do with a 120 minute defeat in pouring rain on a ploughed field of a pitch for their game on Sunday as well.I want them absolutely destroyed tonight.
Is that definitely accurate? I hadn’t really considered it? How many out and in during the latest window.We have improved our squad depth really well, but reduced it in size, so our costs shouldn’t have increased too much ?

It's critical to spend money efficiently. Celtic have been really wasteful with all the millions they got through entry in to the CL by default with ridiculous purchases, a huge squad and overpaid numpties. We can't and won't do that.
Buy low, develop, sell high, invest, build.

The point he's making is that they were extremely lucky to get all those points when the performances weren't justifying it. They had quite a few games where they relied on late goals or opponents missing sitters.I disagree mate. For as bad as theyve played and outwith the old firm theyve only dropped 4pts. The same number as us. Bad performances aren't relevant if they get results. I actually expect them to take maximum points before we play them again.
Fk I totally forgot about that cup lolThe teams that finish 3 and 4 are going into the conference league rather than the Europa League. They might have a better chance at a slightly lower level. Although from memory, the diddy teams got pumped in the intertoto cup as well
I think we need to overtake Red Star Belgrade if we want to be 100% guaranteed of being seeded in the 3rd and 4th CL champions path ties.We should be on around 25 points next season?

Can see where you are coming from your are looking at the bigger picture where if every team does better we all benefit , you like a lot of people sound unselfish in your thinking but I can’t help to thinking back to what was done to our great clubI’ve been keeping an eye on the coefficient recently and Scotland’s for UEFA comps is at 12th, which most of us know. Have we ever been higher in recent times?

Exactly mate ! I couldn’t give a jot about anyone or anything in Scottish football bar rangers and that’s all their own doingBang on Bigamo, where was the cry about the potential impact on the co-efficient when they were voting to destroy our club ...... a*reholes each and every one so f*ck the co-efficient and the hierarchy, we will do it on our own as we always do !!!
I was quite happy when Aberdeen won the cup winners cup and I was quite gutted when Dundee Utd lost out to Roma in the European Cup semi final.Now not so much,if it benefits us that would be the only circumstance I would want to them to win.As far as celtic go I want them pumped out as soon as possible.I’ve been keeping an eye on the coefficient recently and Scotland’s for UEFA comps is at 12th, which most of us know.

Didn’t it used to be the beaten finalist.Scottish Cup winners always get a spot
It goes the next highest place team after the Champions League places so 3rd place will get for 2020/21 if Scottish Cup winner are League Champions also
Agreed, said that run leading up to form wasn’t a good team grinding out results. It was a poor team getting lucky. Last 3 games support that.The point he's making is that they were extremely lucky to get all those points when the performances weren't justifying it. They had quite a few games where they relied on late goals or opponents missing sitters.
I think what we are seeing now is that the performances they've been churning out are starting to get them the results they deserve in terms of their play.
Could be some merit your original point then. Thanks.I updated it for things I’d forgotten Tailwind, but I’m sure others might spot errors, but I’m at 9 out & 6 in.
Yes however UEFA changed that ruling in 2015Didn’t it used to be the beaten finalist.
A very very valid point mate,my hatred for all of them sometimes blinds the issue,but in future I will remember your point in any argument with anyone!Its not just their mentality against us ,for example I now live in Dumfries ,Queen of the South the local club ,had at one time one of the finest playing surfaces in the UK solway turf (im sure it was used at wembley also)rated by the the late great sublime Davie Cooper as one of if not the best surfaces he had ever played on !what did the nutcase chairman do!RIP it up and install artificial pitch,reason.......money blah blah blah backward thinking as per!We can’t help them, they need to help themselves first, by adopting a different style of football.
Cheers bud.Yes however UEFA changed that ruling in 2015
Will you be sober enough to see the game tonight as it obvious that you’re already on itWould be fine by me if the likes of Aberdeen or Motherwell managed to somehow get through to the group stages.

yesA win and a draw in europe tonight for Scottish teams. Is that us upto 11th now?
Would 2 wins have taken us above Austria?
(I'm only hoping the answer is yes so I can slag the mhutants for letting the side down again)
Fair enough, was more wishful thinking than anything else, just looking for another reason to slag the rhats.Don't think so as Celtic winning would have gained us 0.25 extra points.

While 10th gives that 11th is also available as it likely the CL winner will have qualified for the CL via their League and therefore the titleholder spot is not usedDo we need top 10 to get an automatic CL spot?
No, only 11th as it’s very rare that the champions league winners don’t come from a team within the top 10 countries anyway, so the spot goes to the 11th place nationDo we need top 10 to get an automatic CL spot?
Yes we do.Do we need top 10 to get an automatic CL spot?
