The entry of Scottish clubs to UEFA’s club competitions for Season 2015/16 is determined by reference to the UEFA Country Ranking at the end of 2013/14.
At that time, Scotland was ranked 23. This provides access for three clubs through their Scottish Professional Football League position at the end of this Season and one club through this Season’s Scottish Cup.
As a result of that ranking, Scottish entrants to UEFA’s competitions for 2015/16 will be as follows:
Scottish Premiership Champions
Champions League qualifying round 2 (Champions pathway)
Dates: July 14/15 & July 21/22
Scottish Cup winners
Europa League qualifying round 2
Dates: July 16 & 23
Scottish Premiership runners-up
Europa League qualifying round 1
Dates: July 2 & 9
Scottish Premiership third place
Europa League qualifying round 1
Dates: July 2 & 9
* If the Scottish Cup is also won by the Premiership champions then the Scottish Cup berth will go to the Premiership runners-up and the fourth-placed club in the Premiership will also qualify for the Europa League.
