Wow. So it could be quite a few years before Scotland get anyone into the CL group stages as qualifying will presumably become much harder.

[andrew_2010 0]

The individual clubs will retain their good(ish) coefficients. The national coefficient going down will mean more qualifiers for us and celtic, but we should be seeded well above them and would be expected to beat them. What this will do is remove the poorer scottish clubs dragging the coefficient down as I believe that only Aberdeen have pulled their weight in national contributions.

 

I did some charts last year to demonstrate where the "old firm" would be vs "non-old firm" teams and compared that with where Scotland actually is. Rangers and Celtic would be one of the top 4 or 5 I'm sure it was.

 

Overall I'd say it's bad news, but every cloud and all that...

More qualifiers will only weed out the smaller scottish clubs and carry on the cycle of decline , sorry I didnt get back to you about that article but my daughter is back from America , from Uni , and I'm moving house just now mate

The biggest threat Bluedell is that we fall so far ,that our C/L qualifiers would be against teams in the top 15 countries , the days of getting 2 teams back seem very distant , Dundee Utd have been a major let down and with Hearts almost certain to go out ......well it's left to the old firm yet again

28th is almost 2 European places full stop. We would have to play 3 qualifiers to get to the CL never mind 2 as well as 2 or 3 for the Europa League. League of Ireland/ Wales standard is coming.

[Whosthedado 1,499]

We would be as well with 2 European places anyway because anything outside the Old Firm is just an embarrassment in Europe. Just need to look to Tynecastle tonight for proof of that

[Guest laudrupno1]

Depressing reading hopefully we can get on a gd run again and other Scottish teams get the finger out and help improve the current co-efficient.

This is why we need to hope that Keltic pull their weight against Sion. We need to stop this silly parochial cheering when they lose in Europe - it is harming our chances too.

As wrong as it's going to feel, Alex is right...! However, it's more the Hearts/Dundee Utd's/Queen of the South's that have been causing the problem!
