Hibs/Aberdeen/Hearts in it would interest me and I would watch it.
The famous Glasgow Rangers, however. Of course I'd watch it, but would the club throw everything at it?
A lot for UEFA to to explain regards rewards, co-efficient points, etc.
Isn't there a year lag in Coefficients?I know it doesn't answer your initial question, but I'll post this info anyway.
Scotland look set to finish 11th or 12th in the coefficient rankings this season. 11th would almost certainly guarantee next season's league winners a CL spot, 12th would mean they go into the playoff round.
(Ukraine are the country to look out for in terms of pipping us to 11th, so more defeats for Shaktar is what we want basically).
Second place would be in the Champions League qualifying second round in the league path.
The team deemed cup winners next season would go into the playoff round for the Europa League.
At the absolute worst, you'd be guaranteed a team in the Europa League and one in the Conference League. It's likely to look more like one in CL, one Europa or CL, one Europa or Conference. And that's not considering the other 2 teams who would be in the Conference qualifying rounds and may get lucky in the draws.
I think this has come around at a good time for Scottish football personally. We'll be looking at more money coming into the game (and I suspect the cash in the Conference League won't be too far off current Europa League amounts), and a chance for the likes of Aberdeen, Hibs or the likes to genuinely grow and raise their standards a bit.
From a Rangers perspective - I hope we never play in that third competition, but if we do, I would be looking to do well.

So the places for the 21-22 competition are based on the coefficient at the end of the 19-20 season.
Next seasons places are based on Scotland being 14th in the UEFA Coefficients:
The outcomes you outline if Scotland are 11th or 12th at the end of this season would come into play for the 22-23 season.
- Champions in the Champions League 3rd Qualifying round (Champions Path)
- 2nd Place in the Champions League 2nd Qualifying Round (League Path)
- Scottish Cup Winner in the Europa League Playoff Round
- 3rd Place in the Europa Conference League Second Qualifying Round (Main Path)
- 4th Place in the Europa Conference League Second Qualifying Round (Main Path)
It's interesting to note that if either us or them win the Scottish Cup this season (not the Comfort Blanket Cup they are contesting in a couple of weeks) then 3rd place will have guaranteed Group Stage European football next season.I can't have been clear - I was saying "next season's league winners" as in, the team that wins the league next season.
So yeah, for the 22/23 season.
As we are in the top 15 in Europe, the Scottish cup winners go directly into the Europa League playoff. So regardless of the result they are playing group stage football. It all depends on the finances of the tournament but you'd be thinking along with ticket sales you could bring in 4-5 million. That's a game changing amount of money for any club outside of Rangers and Celtic.The English attitude you talk of is not thinking the're better, its following the money. Simple as that. Clubs like burnley wont win it, but to stay in the epl is everything for them.
Sadly that's where football is these days and let's not forget some of the comments on here after a very good point in lisbon, with their late goal costing us 400,000.
That's the last thing I hope the players were dissapointed in.
If this new tournament turns out to be more of a money maker for the likes of hibs and aberdeen, they'll be very interested, just as we will. It will all depend on the tv revenue they get from it.
Get the away fans forum thread started again ma man lolI have an appetite for all Rangers games regardless of competition, so yes
Every away game a party or an excuse to have the shit kicked out of us in a new far off eastern hovel.This kak.

Better off to have free weeks domestically if not in either CL or Europa?
Or clog up the fixture calendar with a cometition where even the name is an insult?
Thanks to UEFA parachuting CL clubs into the Europa, the Conference is probably the only trophy we have a good chance of winning unfortunately.If we end up in it, we would be among the favorites to win it IMO
Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool have been in finals in recent years, the Europa is definitely not seen as an embarrassment at all down the South. It used to be the Thursday cup but since they made the reward a CL spot the big teams have seen value in competing.I see it that way for a Spurs/Arsenal/Man Utd.
Not for a Burnley/Watford type, but they're so desperate to stay in EPL they can't fully commit either.
It’s coming today don’t you worry, I’ve been off work this week so I’ll need to fire up the work computer to get it doneGet the away fans forum thread started again ma man lol
Exactly, if your out your out!Thanks to UEFA parachuting CL clubs into the Europa, the Conference is probably the only trophy we have a good chance of winning unfortunately.
If we happened to draw a team from Germany,Poland or Spain as examples I don't think the travelling bears if this pandemic shite has sorted itself out anyway- would be put off in the slightest.Planned to start 2021.
I'm sure you'll be aware of examples of clubs from UEFA protected nations taking the complete piss out of the Europa League. Not always, but often a big English side will play in it with an attitude that can be summed up as follows:
Domestic league all that matters
Stick this tin-pot cup up your arse and let us out of it
Less games. Concentrate on trying to get into next season's Champions League.
If Rangers were to fail in Europa qualifying one year and fell into this new UEFA Europa Conference League, would you have an appetite for it? Would it be an inconvenience for us in the way that the Europa League is for a Spurs or Arsenal?
UEFA sticking "Conference" in the title is the damaging part as far as I'm concerned. Change the name and it could be OK, but that word "Conference" feels like they're being too honest. It feels like a case of flogging a dead horse and clogging up fixtures for shite clubs in diddy nations to generate more money for Bayern, Barca, Man City, etc.

Pass on why they have Dundee Utd where they are, but gives a rough idea of the spread.I'd have thought Aberdeen would be in the Europa League spot (presuming us or that lot win the Scottish cup) rather than the 5th placed team.
I was reading the secret footballer a few days ago, he says it’s an embarrassment for the top clubs in England to end up in the Europa league, more like a punishment for not finishing in the Champion league spots.
That’s the way it’s regarded down there apparently.
