The Scottish Premiership loses it’s automatic UCL spot for the 2025/26 season

There could be a coefficient silver lining
The setback of losing the automatic Champions League spot for the Scottish Premiership could potentially come with a silver lining. With Scotland slipping down the coefficient table due to Viktoria Plzen’s performance, there’s no longer an assured spot in Europe’s top club competition for the 2025/26 season.However, Rangers could still secure entry if they become champions next season, relying on their individual club coefficient points. Celtic, on the other hand, would need to navigate a playoff if they win the 2024/25 Premiership.

Reporter Rob Dorsett says UEFA have been put under pressure to drop the idea of wildcards leaving potential room for clubs like Rangers and Celtic

While initially disappointing, this situation offers Scottish teams an opportunity to boost their coefficient points. Participation in qualifiers or the Europa League could help accumulate points and strengthen Scotland’s overall coefficient.

The increased number of qualifying rounds for champions and runners-up provides more chances to earn points. Additionally, competing in the Europa League could prove fruitful in bolstering coefficient scores, potentially surpassing recent Champions League performances.
