Darthter 542 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 According to a snippet in the DR today, the SPL is ranked as the 24th strongest league in football out of a possible 125. based on that fact you may think "that's no too bad at all....maybe the game he isn't as bad as we're making out". However, last season the SPL was ranked 15th on the same list - a drop of 9 places in one season. Well done Doncaster & Rhegan!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Isn't this just the UEFA rankings (although this only goes up to 53)? If that's the case then even without Rangers, our current season is the best for five years due to Celtic's results in the CL. I do think that is a one off - like the sporadic previous qualifications by either team, and normal service will be resumed next year - except even more so now that we now have one roll of the dice instead of two. One of the reasons for a drop there this season is that Rangers UEFA final run will no longer count in the current standings using this season's scores. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Just thinking that as this season's rankings are still in progress perhaps they are using the actual current standings that go up to the end of last season and DO include our UEFA run. That would put our Euro ranking at 18 and perhaps there are only six South American and other countries that are also above us when the whole world is taken into account. That means we'll drop at least another six places next season going on current standings. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
