Spiderpig Posted Saturday at 10:58 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 10:58 AM 2025-26 might turn out to be a very succesful season for us , no cup wins unfortunatley but depending on how far up the league we finish, what rewards can we look forward to? Just found this article on the BBC, due to the decline in Scottish clubs European results in recent seasons it is getting harder for scottish clubs to progress.

weeyin Posted Saturday at 03:08 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 03:08 PM The thing that annoys me most about the Champions League is teams that win their domestic title but have to enter the competition at qualifying rounds. Meanwhile, other teams that finish 2nd or 3rd enter later in the competition. I know the competition has been dead an buried as a proper Cup since the big teams ganged up and decided getting knocked out in a early round wasn't fair to them (or their bank balance), but they could at least have all the Champions qualify automatically and enter at the same stage. I used to really enjoy the European Cup when it was 2-leg straight knock out. as it felt like a genuine competition. Now it's just yet another league that's manufactured to ensure the big teams win and are further enriched. I barely watch any of the games these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, I just would like to get into Europe for the money and potential trip, but you're right , it's just a carve up for real, man city etc...thank God for teams like bodo glimt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewelllfan Posted 30 minutes ago Report Share Posted 30 minutes ago So as is it stands we'd enter the conference league at QR2 and have to come through 3 qualifying rounds to make the group stage. I believe in only 1 of these rounds we would be seeded. If Jens fancies a crack at Europe with us then there's a real chance of progression but I'm not sure he will.
