Rangers: The latest Champions League ruling puts “huge” pressure on the Ibrox boardroom.

In the Scottish Premiership, Dan Plumley has emphasized that Rangers and Celtic are under pressure both on and off the field.

After an amazing run, the Bears have now taken the top spot under Philippe Clement, with an automatic Champions League qualifying up for grabs.

The football financial specialist acknowledged that the Rangers team and boardroom are under a lot of pressure to maintain this momentum and win the championship.

He exclusively told Ibrox News, “That pressure at the very top of Scotland is going to be the Rangers and Celtic scenario.”

“I believe that now that it’s guaranteed a Champions League group stage spot—something it hasn’t always meant—the financial strain of that is increased.

“As we’ve repeatedly stated, when you look at Scottish football and the top two in the Scottish Premiership, you look at discussions about the Champions League as the next step, and that has implications for those clubs’ revenue and budget going forward into the following year.

There will always be pressure because Rangers and Celtic are currently facing greater financial difficulties.

“Since those clubs will be budgeting for both scenarios, there will undoubtedly be pressure associated with that as well. Therefore, the pressure doesn’t just exist on the field; it also exists in the boardroom.” It’s enormous.

Champions League football can be enormous for any club, not just those in Scotland, but it plays a bigger role now because the TV deal and other income are considerably smaller. John Bennett is under extreme pressure from Rangers at Ibrox.

Getting first place would be crucial for Rangers to avoid having to reallocate funds after they were forced to do so after failing to go past the knockout stages last summer.
