Scotland entered six teams into European competition this season – Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Motherwell, Hearts, and Falkirk. After a dismal start that saw Aberdeen dismantled over two legs and Hearts, Falkirk and Motherwell fail to reach the Europa League group stage, it’s down to the Old Firm. As much as our European hopes [...]

Congratulations to Celtic today, who came back from a 1-0 opening leg deficit to beat Dinamo Moscow, on the road 2-0, and move on to the Champions League Playoff Round. After last week’s series of debacles, it’s great to see the league’s coefficient picking up some points, as well as to see one of [...]

Last season was a tough one for Scottish football in Europe. Rangers dropped out of the big show early to Hearts’ feeder team (which frankly should get us at least half coefficient points), Celtic ended their run of Champions League knockout performances, and the UEFA Cup was a complete disaster. I thought things [...]

Motherwell and Falkirk went to Europe, and all Scotland got was this lousy sixth of a coefficient point.

Against a side of Welsh part-timers that they frankly should have dominated in the first leg, the Steelmen of Motherwell came out today and showed their quality, taking the day 3-0 away in Wales, and moving on to the 2nd Qualifying round of the first Europa League by an aggregate of 3-1. The goals [...]

Last season was a disaster for Scotland in Europe. Rangers went out to Hearts Jr. in CL qualifying, Celtic failed to make it past the group stage, and both Motherwell and Queen of the South dropped out of the UEFA Cup without a single win. In terms of UEFA coefficient, Scotland ended up [...]

Today is the day that decides the fate of Motherwell’s 2008-09 European adventure. Can John Sutton, David Clarkson and the rest of the Well overcome the 1-0 loss to Nancy in France and bring back at least that one goal? Frankly, with the poor results that they’ve gotten in the league so far, [...]

Well … not all of us. Just as Celtic fans can’t be asked to root for Rangers in Europe, (and can be forgiven for the child-like joy they experienced when the Hearts reserves beat them), I won’t expect the latter to go for the former either. But for the rest of us that [...]

As we continue our ongoing preview of Motherwell’s entry into the UEFA Cup this week, I wanted to take a closer look at the two main offensive threats for the Well, David Clarkson and John Sutton. Though Motherwell have had their problems early in this SPL campaign, the strike combination of Clarkson and Sutton [...]

Tomorrow in Manchester, more than a trophy is on the line, more than just the UEFA Cup, and the hope for Rangers of completing the legendary quad of SPL, Scottish Cup, League cup, and UEFA Cup. There is also the chance to put Scotland in the record books as only the seventh nation ever [...]
