RyanUnionJack Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 You would think how small of a country and league we are that others would celebrate such a victory. Only in Scotland will you get so much bitterness towards a team just to spite their selfs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the context of European football, it's more cash going to two clubs that sucks the life out of our game, making it a waste of time for everyone else. We'd be a much better society if the pair of them vanished forever. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it been any club apart from Rangers and Celtic, I think a victory like that would be met with universal praise - even by bitter rivals of that club. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TavTastic Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 All we needed to guarantee top 15 was Celtic to knock out Copenhagen but that's looking unlikely atm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps 3rd to 5th in the Premiership. 3rd place only needs to win 1 single tie to get into European group stage. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they’d go into the 3rd qualifying round which would still mean winning that and the first round to go into the group stages? Given that would likely involve having to beat teams dropping out of the champions league or just much higher seeded it would still be of little benefit to most teams in Scotland besides the season starting a little later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a chance that 13th's 3rd/CW could be bumped up to EL PO - which would guarantee a place in the ECL GS - if the EL title holder spot is vacated. https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/uefaorg/General/02/58/61/42/2586142_DOWNLOAD.pdf Edited February 28, 2020 by Ginaro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have to play two rounds either way and I’m sure the money for the vanarama trophy group stages will be even more pitiful by comparison than even the europa league is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I just meant one tie to win for any group stage football. The conference league will be interesting to see the difficulty of the qualifiers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
