After claiming that only a small number of teams have the resources to win the Champions League, Ally McCoist became enraged with UEFA and suggested teams like Celtic and Rangers could no longer play in the competition.

The Rangers icon brought up the teams who have advanced to the finals, including Porto, Marseille, and Red Star Belgrade, in response to a question on whether the Champions League has grown boring because the same teams compete to win it every year.

The financial disparity is too great, as seen by Rangers and Celtic’s difficulties in the group stage, and it is only going to get worse, according to McCoist, who said that this is currently unachievable.

McCoist angrily declared, “Rangers and Celtic already find it, if not impossible, unbelievably difficult to compete in the group stages,” in a talkSPORT interview [08:14]. The great majority of that has to do with finances.

“It seems to me that the issue is that it will continue until only three or four clubs remain capable of winning it, and those three or four clubs are the wealthiest clubs in Europe.”

Rangers can’t compete in the Champions League, according to Ally McCoist.

McCoist is correct in saying that the financial commitments made by teams like Manchester City, Real Madrid, PSG, and Bayern Munich make it hard for clubs like the Old Firm sides to participate in UEFA championships.

In football, the expression “The rich get richer” is frequently used, but it is most often used in reference to the Champions League. For teams like Rangers and Celtic, the money from UEFA events is vital, but they never advance far enough to fully benefit from those rewards.

On the other hand, Manchester City anticipates making it all the way to the championship each year, and their earnings increase as they go. The funds are reinvested in the team, and the cycle is restarted.

The wealthiest European clubs continue to separate themselves from the aspirational clubs at the bottom of the ladder, and even if the Champions League structure is changed, there is unlikely to be much relief from this disparity.
