If Clement truly thinks it was a close game then Rangers truly have big problems. Ultimately they will have to sack him(how much will that cost?)

You have to question why they gave him a new improved extended contract the week before the CL qualifier (which they lost). He had a couple of years to go so why rush into that and increase the cost of paying him off, if that’s what it comes to, which it will?
Not sure if he is trying to convince himself or the Rangers fans that the gap is close, when he has lost 4 out of 5 Glasgow derbies, and scraped a draw at home in the other one.

Not quite, both contributed to it, Rangers more than Celtic granted but to say Rangers earned it on their own is not accurate and is merely a stat peddled by Rangers fans for one upmanship.Good.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but, Rangers earned that right and Celtic benefited from it.
Scottish clubs in UEFA coefficient rankings 2024/25
28th - Rangers - 52.00069th - Celtic - 22.000
I’m not sure anyone said they did it on their own, but certainly a much bigger contribution.

I don't think anyone could argue that Rangers have contributed more to the coefficient recently. It is easier to pick up coefficient points in the lesser European tournament's as Rangers learned from their last UCL campaign.
Hopefully going forward all the Scottish teams can work towards Celtic getting their automatic entry into the UCL group stages back.

Pretty certain the post I quoted said
“Rangers earned that right but Celtic benefited and Celtic benefited from it”
Pretty much said they did

Jeez it is really tough being a Scotland AND Hearts supporter.
Both seem to know 1000 ways in which to lose games they should have won

Why is he getting picked to play? Surely Scotland have other options?
Hanley has hardly played for NCFC since his achilles injury back in March 2023, can't be more than 6 or 7 starts.

Much as I do not fancy him as a Scotland player in fairness both central defenders hardly put a foot wrong last night up until the 96th minute,
Dreadful penalty to give away.
He must have had a total brain fart and looked almost in shock afterwards.

Quintessential Scotland last night. Just when you think they have done enough to hang on to a very credible point, they concede a soft goal to lose the game. McKenna could have hoofed that cross away, instead he gets caught ball watching.
