Depends what your motives for caring is really. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Ukraine now with two teams in the CL group stage and another in the EL GS, puts them back up to 11th. Even if Celtic and Rangers make it through then it'll be tough to catch them. Denmark with Midtjylland in the CL GS so they close the gap behind us due to the bonus points, but might struggle to add more points. The important games tomorrow featuring countries around us are: Sporting v LASK, Copenhagen v Rijeka, AEK Athens v Wolfsburg, Slovan Liberec v APOEL, and of course Rangers v Galatasaray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I know the disparity is your main concern with Celtic getting to the group stages of the champions league. This thread is not just about the dosh in the game it's about the Scottish leagues place across Europe and how it compares and competes on the same level. I would have no problem if the SPFL put in place a share of the tv dosh made from European football on top of the solidarity payment made from group stage football. 15% or 20% would seem reasonable to the rest of the clubs in the top flight as Celtic are the ones doing all the work.

You like your football to be wildly lopsided in favour of you're team Willie - we all know this. I don't like my football that way, primarily because I'm not a child. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Sack the managers at Motherwell and Aberdeen and hire little-known Italians. We’ll be back on top in no time! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) It rather helps that Dundalk are somehow playing a Faroes team in the play off round. I very much doubt they would have beaten Sporting Lisbon. Or Hapoel Beer Sheva who won tonight to head into the Group stage.

Academically Deficient Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 On 25/09/2020 at 08:53, charger29 said: If the aim is 12th and another year of guaranteed group spots for 2022-23 it's massive. If Rangers win it's (likely) 2 vs 2 against Turkish teams in the GS. Seems possible, if not likely, we would catch up due to Turkey having a divisor of 5 and fairly average teams too. If Galatasaray win it's likely 3 vs 1 in Turkey's favour and we get nowhere near 12th. We really have timed this move up the table perfectly for the next few seasons.

wastecoatwilly Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) If we have a good group stage total we are heading into the top ten in a few years. I think the highest we've been is 9th in the early 2000's. Edited October 2, 2020 by wastecoatwilly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Apologies if it has been linked to before, but I’ve found out a decent wee account that highlights Scotland’s coefficient goings-on pretty well. Similar content to the @UefaCalculator account but bespoke info for Scotland. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
