    That St Mirren result against the huns and the Ross County one against us in the league cup shows, to me, that the League Cup winner should be allowed back into European qualification.
    5 teams are allowed from next season so ALL Cup winners plus SPL winners PLUS 2nd and 3rd place SPL teams should be playing in Europe.
    The 4 teams that are in the semi finals including the teams that knocked us and the huns out are ALL previous winners of the League Cup having participated in a total of 15 finals winning 6 in total.
    Only 1 of those finals were they won had either us or the huns in it.
    That shows they were good enough to knock us and huns out or good enough to beat teams that knocked us or the huns out so should be good enough to be allowed to participate in Europe.
    It should be allocated as following

    CL to SPL winner
    CL to SPL runner up
    EL to SC winner
    ECL to SLC winner
    ECL to SPL 3rd place.

    Allocation to change depending on whether SPL winner also wins SC and/or SLC

    Also just checked and ALL 4 semi finalists have already played 6 matches each to get to that stage scoring total of 62 goals in the process between them.

    One minor point, St Johnstone have never won the League Cup mate

    Yeah but only as long as we get 5 European places.

    Doesn't really matter does it no Scottish team outside Glasgow has won a game in Europe in about 54 years and even we have been utterly dreadful for the majority of the last 30.

    You couldn't blame UEFA if they stripped Scotland entirely of places.

    It does matter actually.

    What an ignorant post, and if it was an attempt at humour, that was brutal too.

    It's absolutely not funny, the only Scottish team who deserve to be in Europe is the huns which is frankly embarrassing.

    We always moan at Uefa, their corruption, bias to the bigger and richer clubs etc - it is all 100% our own fault. We threw away the "fortress parkhead" status, we threw away countless CL campaigns, we bottled almost every single ever away game in Europe, we have failed terribly in Europe almost every year since around 1974 let's be honest.

    Yeah but it won't be for forever. Next season's Celtic and Rangers sides will be far weaker(both teams I am expecting to sell half their squad) and Scotland will drop back down the coefficient.

    With the reintroduction of the third their European competition I would be ok with one spot being allocated to the winner of the League Cup but only the winner. If the winner of the League Cup qualified for one of the 2 higher European competitions I would not be ok with the League Cup runner getting a spot.
