Even after Motherwell and Aberdeen's defeats last night things are still looking good on the coefficient front.
Right behind Turkey which makes Rangers Galatassary next week even more interesting.
If the league can stay at that ranking it makes it even more important that hibs come third at some poing over the next couple of seasons, as that would guarantee us getting into the groups of either the Europa or Europa Conference.
Results 61 to 90 of 309

Celtic have a relatively easy draw compared to Rangers next week although they are playing away from home. If both can get through Scotland will be on for another healthy points total and heading for some automatic group places in the years that follow.
The top 6 countries are set in stone but Scotland could climb another couple of places in a years time when Hibs get their chance to contribute.
It would be good for the Scottish game to be recognised as one of the top 10 leagues in Europe.Last edited by CMurdoch; 25-09-2020 at 03:12 PM.

Gonna be good viewing in the morning. Will be close to having matched the 2016-17 total, and a good run for the Old **** could eliminate the 2017-18 total, that we were part of. Could be a good run of years in Europe for the Hibees, and maybe not having to start in the middle of June, which I think is part of the reason Scottish clubs have suffered

We now have 28.875 points and Turkey and Ukraine are a baw hair ahead of us on 28.900 and 29.100 respectively and will almost certainly overtake both on the next European match night which will see Scotland as 11th best European league.
Brilliant considering we were a horrific and unacceptable 26th a couple of years ago.Last edited by CMurdoch; 01-10-2020 at 10:09 PM.

Next match day our league will move above the leagues of Turkey and the Ukraine. Turkey has a population of 82 million people and Ukraine 42 million.
For a tiny country of 5.5 million people our league is good and our supporters the most supportive in Europe.Last edited by CMurdoch; 01-10-2020 at 10:17 PM.

Dundalk qualify for the group stage 2nd season in a row. No reason non Glasgow bigots can't do it.

Turkey still have two teams left in, one in the CL group and one in the EL. Neither team has kicked a ball yet as they are direct entries.
Ukraine have two teams in the CL and one in the EL.
The coefficient is getting better without doubt but to get much higher now will be tough.

The Old Firm are that far ahead of us that i'm prepared to accept them being successful in Europe as I see it benefitting us in the longer term. If their performances give us a better co-efficient thus greater chance of more European night at Easter Road i'm prepared to stomach it for now. Goal has to be for us to reach Europa league stage ourselves at some point which would provide us with revenue to challenge them better domestically.

Direct entry to Champions league and Europa league is looking very possible in the near future. Challenge will be keeping the average up with another club in Europe.

Last season may have been about the best we can do, but if we could average 7 points a season we'd be challenging the top 10, but getting some automatic qualification for the Group stages is the key to long term benefit.
Another good sign is how well the countries behind us are doing. We are sitting , a fraction behind Ukraine & Turkey, but the closest country behind us with MORE teams left in competition is the Greeks 18th, and 5 points back. The Czechs are 20th with 3 teams left, and thats it. The 4 teams immediately below us have only one team left each

Read elsewhere that third place in the league (or cup winner if outside the top three) is guaranteed group stage European football next season in the new Europa Conference at a minimum. If that's correct we really need to get the midfield sorted this week and have a good go at third this season.

Celtic

Rangers group looks okay, so a really good bet to finish in the top 2

Dundalk beat a team from the Faroes last night and Rangers by comparison had to beat Willem II followed by Galatasaray. Unfortunately the path for Hibs, Aberdeen etc would be the Rangers one, which most times will be a tough ask.
What will be interesting is how the teams in each country are affected financially by Covid in the years to come.Last edited by CMurdoch; 02-10-2020 at 05:07 PM.

Dundalk and Celtic were in the Champions path whereas Rangers, Aberdeen and Motherwell were in the ordinary route.
The Champions League has a similar path, ie Celtic couldn't get any of the really hard teams, only champions of other countries that didn't get direct entry.

Celtic were unlucky but they have the ability to get out of the group, as fo Rangers
I reckon if they can both get out of their groups we will be in the top 10 for 22-23, and likely top 7-8 for 23-24.
But with covid, all football will be suspended just as Hibs prepare to enter the ECL at the group stagesLast edited by SJNB Hibby; 02-10-2020 at 06:13 PM.
