The sad irony is that Scotland has gained two entries into the Champions League, just as Scottish football has reached its lowest point.
36 years of domination by two clubs has rendered the Scottish game virtually impotent.
Celtic are weaker than they have been for years, their strength sapped by an effortless total domination of Scottish football.
A duopoly followed by a monopoly doesn’t help any club, not even the monopolist.
Celtics chances of progressing to the main draw of the Champions League in 2021/22 are more or less zero.
Rangers consistent form in the Europa tournament gives them a little more hope, though they would have scant chance against the top clubs from any major European league.
Time to accept how dire Scottish club football really is – and Time for Change.
