leginten Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Interesting that winning the Cup outranks finishing third in the league in terms of entry to the higher UEFA competition. Exactly the way it should be, in my view. (I’m not sure whether third place and Cup winners have previously entered Europa League qualifying at the same stage or different stages.)

Mikey1874 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 If Champions League qualifiers win the Scottish Cup then does place in Europa League go to third place team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
