‘Impossible’ – Ally McCoist slams UEFA in new Rangers rant live on talkSPORT
Ally McCoist has fumed at UEFA after suggesting it is now impossible for the likes of Rangers and Celtic to compete in the Champions League as only a select few clubs have the finances to win it.
In a conversation about whether the Champions League has gotten stale due to the same clubs competing for the title year after year,
the Rangers great cited Porto, Marseille, and Red Star Belgrade as examples of clubs who have reached the final.
McCoist argued it is now unachievable since the financial gap is too large,
as evidenced by Rangers and Celtic’s troubles in the group stage, and that gap is only going to widen.

McCoist is correct; the financial resources of Manchester City, Real Madrid, PSG, and
Bayern Munich make it impossible for clubs like the Old Firm to compete in UEFA championships.
The term ‘The rich get richer’ is frequently used in football, although it is perhaps most commonly associated with the Champions League.
The money from UEFA tournaments is critical for clubs like Rangers and Celtic,
but they never advance far enough to fully reap the benefits.
Manchester City, on the other hand, expects to go all the way through the competition every year,
and the more they advance, the more money they receive. That money is returned to the team,
and the process begins again.
With the money involved in the greatest European teams,
the gap between those at the top and the hopeful clubs at the bottom continues to widen,
with no relief in sight despite Champions League improvements.
