European qualification and goals

[Gorgiewave]

This may be a question for Davy Allan, but has a team ever qualified for Europe with so few goals per game as we have scored this season. 1.05 goals per match = 40 in a season. I know we are neither guaranteed a European spot nor unable to win 5-0 in each of our remaining fixtures but the latter, especially, is very unlikely.

 

Can anybody think of examples of a team qualifying for Europe (or winning the league) with such a low goals/game ratio?

perfect argument for a couple of new strikers in the transfer window

 

ie proven goalscorers not the crap weve had to put up with for the last few seasons

In recent seasons I can't.

Livingston scored 50 in the 2001/2002 season.

 

Motherwell scored 50 last season.

 

 

 

EDIT: Ah ha!

 

St Johnstone only scored 39 in the 98/99 season to get 3rd place (with all be it 36 games a season though).

That's 1.0833 goals per game for St. Johnstone. We've averaged 1.057 so far this season, Aberdeen away and Celtic still to play.

Dunfermline qualified for europe with a total of 26 goals in 2006/07, albeit as cup runners-up and relegated.

Tells us we are "efficient" but need a striker!
