Gabby Agbonlahor slams Champions League rule change and claims it’s made the knockout stages worse
Celtic or Rangers will be the last Scottish Premiership champions to be handed a guaranteed automatic Champions League group stage place.
The news will serve as a huge incentive for the Old Firm in their fight to land this season’s title and with it, a spot in next season’s revamped Champions League. The same route, however, will be the trodden path for next season’s Premiership champions who will go directly into the play-off round of the 'champions path' with the second placed side faced with two rounds of qualifying.The Gers’ recent performances in Europe could be rewarded due to an impressive five-year coefficient sparked by deep runs in the Europa League.
The spot given to the domestic champion with the best five-year ranking who doesn’t gain access to the competition through the league, would then be freed up, with Rangers possible beneficiaries.
