Where FIFA ranks Celtic compared to Rangers after lastest European results

Celtic and Rangers have been enjoying some very good results in Europe over the last couple of months as both clubs compete in the Champions League and Europa League respectively. Celtic have beaten RB Leipzig and Slovan Bratislava so far this season and have suffered a heavy defeat to last season’s Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund.

Brendan Rodgers’ Bhoys have also drawn with Atalanta and Club Brugge as the current Scottish champions go toe to toe with Europe’s elite clubs in UEFA’s flagship tournament. Rangers on the other hand are competing in UEFA’s second-tier tournament and, to be fair to them, have also recorded some decent results.

With wins over Malmo, FCSB and Nice Rangers are going well in the Europa League despite being hammered 4-1 by Lyon at Ibrox and drawing with Olympiacos. And after the latest round of European fixtures has been concluded, FIFA has released their rankings and where Celtic place compared to Rangers is very interesting indeed.

FIFA ranks Celtic 25 places higher than Rangers

FIFA looks after the rankings of all six continents in world football so when the last rounds of all of UEFA’s European tournaments concluded last week, this is where Celtic and Rangers rank. In 37th place, Celtic rank higher than Feyenoord (42nd), Bayer Leverkusen (45th) and next Champions League opponents Dinamo Zagreb (49th).

Remarkably, Young Boys who are yet to pick up a single Champions League point this season ranks 35th with RB Leipzig being pencilled in at 11th. As for Rangers, they are the second-worst team in the FIFA rankings at 62nd with only Besiktas placed below them.

Celtic and Rangers’ upcoming big Champions League and Europe League nights

Celtic and Rangers both have big European nights coming up this month as the Glasgow clubs look to progress in Europe this season.

Rangers will host former Celtic manager and current Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou, who will bring his Spurs club to Glasgow to face the Scottish Premiership’s third-placed side.

Celtic face Dinamo Zagreb, who are currently the Croatian champions but are struggling this season.

If both clubs win their ties, a play-off spot and European football beyond January will be ensured, which could assist Scotland’s coefficient this season.
