Rangers to take part in UEFA’s new-look Super League | OneFootball

We thought we’d go marginally off topic in this one to basically laugh at UEFA. As all fans now know, the Champions League and indeed Europa League and Conference Leagues all changed format, from 32 teams divided into 8 groups of four, to one pure super league expanded to 36.

Wait. What’s that? A Super League?

You mean the most evil, cursed disgusting idea ever conceived? The one Aleksander Čeferin and UEFA and Gary Neville told us was vile? You mean the one the fans themselves were absolutely disgusted by?

The one that a bunch of clubs were trying to take part in, and were told they were immoral scum?

Yes, that one.

Because once again it had absolutely nothing to do with ‘evil’ format, or ‘shocking betrayal’ – it had everything to do with someone weighing in on UEFA’s pie and providing competition, meaning they’d lose out on revenue.

In the same way the PGA in golf rounded up all their allies in the media to speak of the ills of LIV golf, only to then go quiet as soon as a merger was agreed, UEFA just didn’t want anyone else on their turf. It’s just all about money.

The format had absolutely zero to do with it, and indeed has been downright copied by Europe’s governing body shamelessly, all down their entire pyramid of competitions.

It’s almost laughable if it wasn’t so absurd and hypocritical.

Rangers will, of course, be in the Europa League table, of another 35 teams including ourselves, but we’re not exactly holding out a tonne of hope for much success at that level, given some of the matches we’ll face, but hey, ‘give it a go’.

But yes, welcome to the new European Super League, UEFA-style…
