Even if our nation is now ranked eleventh, Rangers may be able to take advantage of a weakness and get a
position on the group stage.
If Scotland finishes 11th and Philippe Clement leads his team to victory, the Light Blues’ club coefficient ranking
guarantees them a spot in the expanded Champions League format, which will be implemented the following
season. Based on their league standing, the 2024 Champions League winners had already qualified for the play-
offs the following season.
Rangers has automatically qualified for the Champions League as Dortmund advances to the final and seals the backdoor.
Before Rangers’ semi-final match against Paris Saint-Germain, Dortmund questioned Rangers’ chances of
making it to the 2025–2026 season. The squad is now sixth in the Bundesliga and is not eligible for Germany’s
Champions League spots. It would have been a disastrous scenario for the Ibrox team if skipper Emre Can had
won the Cup at Wembley.
The Bundesliga finished the season in fifth place, but Dortmund’s victory over the French champions moved
Germany up to the top two of the coefficient standings. It follows that Rangers’ prospects of earning a berth will
not be impacted if Edin Terzic’s team wins the trophy.
Rangers are now in first place with a 10-point advantage over Dinamo Zagreb, the next closest team.
After 12 games, Scotland leads Switzerland by 3.075 points; our squad would need to have a major decline in
performance the next season to fall much further behind. Because of this, Rangers will virtually definitely make
it to the group stage if they win the league the following season.
