Rangers are in the champions league plus celtic and dundee utd will win their europa play-offs.

Don't Rangers have to qualify? Also if Celtic lose next week then aren't they out of Europe? No second chances at this stage.

I think that's what it is as of next year (because UEFA have realised SPL teams are cr@p) but this year Rangers are in the CL and Celtic drop into the last 74 qualifier of the Europa.

Always like to see Celtic in European action. Backing the opposition when they play away is like Christmas morning.

I don't disagree at all, i find most conference games better than the EPL. I'm just highlighting the teams within the SPL aren't particularly good when thrown into a more competitive areana which has been proved more often than not every year, hence the change from UEFA.

Scottish clubs in Europe:



I'm not gonna roundly take the mick here, as i said above we (Hearts and Hibs) just swap who enters Europe each year just to get pumped away leaving it impossible for the 2nd leg anyway. It's beginning to not look very good for the SPL and a true reflection of the lack of quality coming through and wanting to play in the league.

I tell you what Tommy, Maribor were a bloody superb side though. And to go some way to reinforcing that...Blackpool 1 Hibs 2

A rather unfortunate term used by Blackpool in their report though

The travelling support celebrated like they'd won the Scottish Cup; Holloway won't be unduly concerned, though new players remains an absolute priority.

Poor research by Blackpool, not sure any Hibs fan knows how to celebrate like they've won the Scottish cup

To be fair, even I got a game for Blackpool today. They are coming across as being a bit cr.ap. Wouldn't put it down as a feather in the cap for Scottish football just yet

They've earned their place in the top flight, so we've earned some (minor) bragging rights

Had read about the Scottish Cup comment on one of the Hibs forums, well done to the Gazzette to finding a bloke to ask how he celebrated the last Cup win whilst a twinkle in his dad's eye
