Briton 314 Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Scottish clubs have almost equaled last years total but you'd think the smaller clubs were going out of their way to drag the total down. This was the same years ago when we had two places in the CL. Obviously you don't expect them to match Rangers or Celtic but their contribution over the years has been beyond pathetic. Kilmarnock took that to a new low this year. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,693 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Decided to have a look back at the co-efficient as it was at the beginning of the 2012/13 season when Scottish football had just decided to suicide. Scotland were in 15th position with 25.141 points. Fast forward to the 2016-17 season when Rangers came back to the top league and lo and behold we find Scotland in 23rd position with 17.900 points. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah -- probably because APOEL, I think, have qualified for the CL group stage for a few years on the bounce. Edit: Just had a look: they've qualified for the CL group stages 4 times in the last 10 years, including reaching the Quarter-finals! They've had a decent showing in the Europa League too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they must be spending a lot of money but looking at FM it doesn't seem that way. Going a bit OT...when I think of Cyprus I think of Colin Stein scoring 4 for Scotland in an 8-0 WCQ win. I think he was initially credited with 5; he scored a couple in the return game as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briton 314 Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 Another thing to consider is that over the next few years Scotland will gain on all the more relevant countries as three poor scoring years drop off. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
