Maybe, NEC in the Netherlands makes a battle to the participation for Champions League next season.
My friends from Rangers FC (Hamburger SV and the âGersâ have a fan-friendship bond for lot of decades) are two points forwards of Celtic. Leader are Hearts of Midtlothian.

Hearts or Rangers. Both are better than Celtic.
Hearts if anything. Breaking the Old Firm dominance is long overdue.

Donât know why but seeing people talk about Hearts and coventry today has made me think of my old Panini stickers collection in the 80âs.

Yeah, and the Scottish teams always had two players split onto the one sticker.
I used to wonder whether up in Scotland their sticker books were the other way round.
I also remember needing that Hearts badge for ages one year and no one had it as a swap. Hope they win the league haha

It was reported in the week that the UEFA nations league would be taking on a new format from 2028, similar to the Champions League group stage:

UEFA nations is not really the issue, itâs not a bad competition anyhow.
Itâs the qualifiers than are worse than awful.

Initially, I heard that this would apply to the qualifiers as well. I could see the CL format working well for them. There is still the chance for smaller nations, but it would mean that you wouldnât get every other game being England home and away vs Nania or The Shire.

The Athletic are now saying Bellamyâs move to Burnley has fallen through. Iâm not sure how I feel about it all now. Heâs made himself look a bit of a prick (not for the first time, obviously, and I say that as a Bellamy fanboy). All that talk of leading Wales into the home Euros, and it looks like he jumped at the first yo-yo club that came along. So much for his âdream jobâ.
