Think that might mean that racist country overtakes Scotland in coefficients and we lose automatic CL qualification in 2025. Would be a different qualification group for the winners than the sort of teams we'd have to get passed finishing second. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sat about there for a game years ago. Two wee guys in front of us kept shouting, "Andy! Andy! Andy!" at The Goalie. He turned round and went, "Aye what is it you're wanting?". Shat it and stayed quiet for the rest of the game. ayrshireranger, CS68 and wully 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers_no1 33,243 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 21 minutes ago, esquire8 said: Think they still need a result in the next round for that to happen. They were 0.5 points behind. Plzen added 0.25 for a draw tonight. Sure they add 0.25 for the bonus point for reaching the QFs. That means points are equal and IIRC then the latest season(ie this season) is the defining factor and Racist country has owned Scotland this year.

ayro 3,229 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Back in from the game, disappointed but not downhearted as I thought the players put everything into it they just had that bit of quality that got them in front and we didn’t have enough ability to get back level. Thought a draw would have been a fair result as neither keeper had a lot to do. Onto Sunday for another must win 🇬🇧 J-Maestro, BlueAvenger and nik2402 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIRB_72 4,092 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Fine margins at this level as we know and we were missing just one too many players tonight. Our only true strikers is Dessers, Silva is our back up playing out left, Lawrence looked totally done in second half and Wright has came in as about the 7th choice winger. Matondo, Cantwell, Roofe and McCausland nowhere near the fitness we need to go and change that game. Sterling made a massive impact in Lisbon with his non stop running and reading of the game. That's before we get into what Sima and/or Cortes could have added. Benfica on the other hand had their full, very expensive, well put together squad available and they still only managed to beat us over two legs by 1 goal. It's a disappointing result but nothing to be ashamed of tonight and plenty to play for domestically. On to Dundee... 32Blue and Drunk and disorderly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of a go at them, some very quickly ended up in them attacking us. There were so many off the pace or urgency tonight though, he was one of many. Benfica weren't brilliant, just good at what they did. I wanted to rush on the park at one point and grab our Silva at one point, lead him off the pitch to be subbed, not the only one though.

LaaRFC 4,874 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 5 minutes ago, Bakbear said: I understand that. Just saying that on TV it clearly stated that the club coefficient would mean that if we win the league in 2025, we would automatically qualify for CL. They probably got it wrong. But that’s what they said. The winners of the Champions League trophy automatically qualify for the following season’s tournament. Previously, if the Champions League winner had already qualified automatically through their domestic league, then their ‘spare’ automatic entry would go to the Champions of country ranked in 11th place. In the new format commencing next season, that changes and instead the spare automatic entry goes to the champion with the highest club coefficient in Champions League qualifying – essentially any champion from the leagues ranked 11th and below. It is very rare that the Champions League winner doesn’t automatically qualify through their league position, with notable exceptions being Chelsea in 2012 and Liverpool in 2005. So, although not guaranteed – the Champions League winners’ automatic entry ticket is likely to be up for grabs. This is why should Scotland drop to 11th, if we win the league next year we’d still most likely automatically qualify. kelvd1873 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a shame there wasn’t really a reaction from us after that and to varying degrees all three attacking subs were shit. At our best we’d have strolled that game tonight but ultimately just too many players missing and too many that were playing not at their best. Think if we had got the first goal we’d have been fine as we were playing okay but we got way too passive after their goal Laudrupsleftfoot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just follow the Scottish coefficient guy on Twitter who’s very good at making it understandable and seems to know his stuff. According to him Plzen need at least one draw from their two quarter finals to take 10th spot for their country so Scotland might just cling on to 10th for one more year.
