PERHAPS the only thing fans of Scottish football clubs like more than seeing their own team win in Europe is watching their greatest rivals fail…
Rangers captain James Tavernier celebrates his goal against Servette in a Champions League qualifier in Switzerland on Tuesday nightclubs like more than seeing their own team win in Europe is watching their greatest rivals fail miserably.
No matter. Rangers lost all of their meetings with Ajax, Liverpool and Napoli, suffering some heavy and embarrassing reverses in the process, and finished a traumatic campaign with the worst record in the history of the competition. Oh, how they rejoiced in the East End of Glasgow. If they prevail, and it is a very big if given the quality of the teams they will be facing, against Hacken, PAOK, Aston Villa and PSV Eindhoven respectively in the next fortnight the long-term benefits for them and others will be considerable.
Those chief executives and club owners who are responsible for balancing the books amid a challenging financial climate were certainly applauding the results loudly this week.There is, however, still cause for concern. The 2019/20 campaign, which was our clubs’ most successful ever when it comes to the accumulation of coefficient points, will drop out of the five year rolling coefficient next season.
Football supporters, especially those in Scotland, are not exactly renowned for their magnanimity. The ferocity of the rivalries which exist here help to create intense and intimidating atmospheres in big top flight matches which are the envy of many other richer and larger leagues.
