And the reason it brings automatic qualification is single-handedly down to Rangers exploits in Europe over the last few years raising the coefficient!Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Celtic let a goal in at the end (final score 7-1). Means rangers are 2 points clear with +1 GD. Very close I just worry that, once again, Rangers will try and compete on multiple fronts and end up with nothing.DyerConsequences said:Now 7. Still 25 minutes to go.
I do agree that Europe could get in the way if they were to progress, although realistically i'd be surprised if they beat Benfica. They might as well just focus on the league because winning it now brings automatic qualification into the CL group stage.1 -
Well, it’s not from playing in UCL, as they hold the record for the worst performance in the group stages.se9addick said:

No way can Celtic knock anyone else’s recent European record, they’re an embarrassment 🤣3

well, when they are regularly playing in a lesser competition....se9addick said:

Who says they are. But of course they are one of only a few British teams to win it.... Of course. Something Rangers will never do.ValleyGary said:No way can Celtic knock anyone else’s recent European record, they’re an embarrassment 🤣0 -

It is undeniable fact that Scotlands coefficient is high because Rangers recent performances in Europe, regardless of the competition.4 -
Celtic have been in the Europa 7 times in the last decade and never once got further than the last 32.MrOneLung said:

2 seasons ago they got knocked out of the CL, failed to then get out of their Europa group and then got knocked out of a conference league play off.
Pretty pathetic really.0 -

Personally I think Rangers playing in Europe will help rather then hinder them
Ok they will play more games but they have a big enough squad to rest players plus playing better opposition will improve their game put more pace & fight into the team
As there is only 3 teams in the SPL that can give them a decent game so complacency can set in you need to be pushed to improve
This season is just about improving the team & what ever they win will be a bonus as Clement is only half way through building the team

Well it wasn't Celtic fans knocking them it was Rangers fans going into self appraisal mode in a competition they have never won. If anything i have praised their performance against some of the better European teams in the past. Quite the opposite.ValleyGary said:

I’ll take your word for it as I don’t concern myself with what Celtic or rangers fans say, I was talking about comments on this thread…Chippycafc said:

It's about playing at a higher level in these games
Clement will manage the squad to cope he's already been resting players
You got to remember his only just started building the team
Of course he would like to win the league but it's more about testing the players & these games do just that0 -
Can’t be many times that Rangers & Celtic both lose on the same weekend?

I can't remember the last time off the top of my head. Wonder what the odds were on Friday?se9addick said:Can’t be many times that Rangers & Celtic both lose on the same weekend?0 -
According to the BBC, the last time it happened was 3 February 2018.3

Going to be a good run in with both teams losing games they should win nothing is guaranteed
Still say it will all come down to their game at Ibrox to who takes the title just a shame the away crowds limited if not none at all
For me that's what makes the old firm games one of the best derby's Going

Presumably the game in the extra 5 games will be at Celtic Park though? Give no away fans, I fancy both to win at home so that could cancel each other out.Wellred said:Going to be a good run in with both teams losing games they should win nothing is guaranteed

If they both win their next two league games then a Rangers win v Celtic at Ibrox will put them 5 points clear, which would be tough for Celtic to make up in the last 7 games. Rangers could then afford to lose at Celtic and still be champions if they win the other games.
If Celtic win at Ibrox then they'll win it.1 -

Sounds about right but it would be good if it did go to the last day of the season
I was lucky enough to get a ticket for Rangers against Hibs over at Easter Rd for what's known as Helicopter Sunday
What a brilliant day couldn't have happened at a better place ha
Was meant to fly home that night from Edinburgh
Not a chance got Caught up in the celebrations ended up in Glasgow ha brilliant0 -

Sadly a Rangers fan died last night in Lisbon.
From a Celtic fan may i send my condolences to all his family and friends on this sad occasion. We may have our rivalries but they become nothing compared to this.
RIP.2 -

But the police did attack the Rangers fans at the end of the game so i reckon that's how the rumours come about
