The race is really hotting up now between Scotland and Ukraine for 11th place in the Association club Coefficient.
Whoever finishes in 11th place, they will get an automatic Champions League group stage place for the 2022/ 23 season.
So if Scotland finish in 11th place, the Champions of the Scottish Premiership next season will automatically qualify for the CL group stages in 2022/ 23.
After tonight's results I'm sure Scotland are still slightly ahead by 0.025 points.
Clubs get 2 points for a win but it gets divided by how many clubs represented that country in Europe this season.
So Sevco tonight had their 2 coefficient points for a win, divided by 4 (Scottish clubs in Europe) which becomes 0.5 coefficient points added to Scotland's total.
Ukraine now have 2 clubs who've qualified for the last 16 due to Shakhter Donetsk and Dynamo Kiev both winning tonight.
Ukraine had 5 clubs representing them in Europe this season, so each victory is divided by 5.
Each victory tonight would be 0.4 coefficient points for each win.
Before tonight Scotland were ahead by 0.325.
Add the Sevco victory of 0.5 points, it then becomes a lead of 0.825 points.
But with both Ukraine's clubs winning tonight they got a combined 0.8 points.
Although Scotland have a very slight 0.025 point advantage going into the last 16,
Ukraine will have two clubs representing them to only one club representing Scotland in the last 16 of the Europa League.

It would be a laugh if sevco got to the quarter finals and both Ukrainians got kod and when we win the league next season the automatic spot will be ours. Cool stats Buzz but it was that long I got half way through it and started picturing Vorderman and Rachel Reily in the scud teaching me arithmetic😂.
