Rangers could bypass the qualification rounds for the Champions League next season if they win the Scottish Premiership. According to Sky Sports, the Glasgow club currently holds a high enough UEFA club coefficient to benefit from changes in competition entry rules. This scenario relies on the winner of the Greek Super League.
UEFA regulations grant the highest-ranked domestic champion without an automatic group spot a direct entry path. Per The Guardian, Olympiakos currently leading the Greek top flight would take this position if they secure their domestic title. However, if another Greek club wins that league, the spot would transfer to Rangers as the next eligible champion based on coefficient rankings.
Philippe Clement's side must secure the Scottish title first to remain eligible for this bypass. Failure to win the domestic league would require Rangers to navigate the traditional qualifying path. The club currently sits in a competitive position within the Scottish Premiership as the season reaches its final stages, according to ESPN.
