The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[illdecide]

The club is in some mess at the minute. I can't remember it as bad.

Me neither, total shambles. I don't condone booing my own players but the frustration among the fans is at boiling point. The Celtic Board has committed total sobatage and are responsible for this mess, my only hope is Celtic threw that game last night to concentrate on the league as mad as that sounds that's what it looked like TBH. I'm sitting with 3 season tickets in the drawer here and doubt they'll get much use the rest of the season. 1 of the tickets has been used once so far...The GAA season is among us and I'd prefer beatings following Armagh as I don't have too far to go to get home and costs £18 a ticket

The Scottish Premiership looks certain to have only one Champions League place after next season.

The wide-ranging impact of its clubs' underperforming in European competition will also see Scotland's overall allocation reduced from five teams to four. It will become more difficult to reach the league phase, too, as all teams must enter qualifying in earlier rounds. And there could be financial impact on the whole of the Scottish game.

Celtic, the last active Scottish club in European competition this term, suffered a 4-1 defeat at home to Stuttgart in the first leg of their Europa League knockout play-off round tie on Thursday. If the elimination of Martin O'Neill's team is confirmed after next Thursday's return leg in Germany, Scotland's fate will be sealed. The Uefa coefficient ranks the average performance of each country's clubs in Europe over a rolling five-year period. Scotland has enjoyed two places in the Champions League for six seasons. Only once, in 2022-23, have both Celtic and Rangers made it through qualifying to play in the competition proper. But in all six seasons both were at least in the Europa League.

Scotland had been ranked as high as ninth between 2021 and 2023, granting the title winners direct access to the Champions League group stage. But there has been a gradual decline since then. Last year Scotland went from two places to one in the Europa League. It has now dropped from 14th to 18th in the Uefa coefficient. Only the top 15 nations get two Champions League spots and later qualifying round access...
