| Hmm not following you there Mo, you saying Celtic might have to go thru qualification rounds even tho they are the Champions of Scotland/ and how does Barcelona winning affect that? |
It's down to the co-efficient mate, the points system. Scotland doesn't always get an automatic place even if you win the league. We are pitched against like the Romanian, Belgian etc and it rotates. Since Rangers done well in Europe this season, then next season 1st place will definately get into the CL group stages, its due to both the Old Firm doing crap in Europe and not getting into the 2nd round of the CL every year.!
If Barcelona win La Liga then go on and win the CL, it will give us a straight ticket into the group stages. If
Arsenal or Villarreal win it, then we will have to play 3rd round qualifiers because both teams are not champions or going to be champions of their league the time the CL comes next season.
Haha very complicated!
