Northern Ireland clubs face a potential loss of a European slot as Larne exits and Rangers miss out; the play-off system and finances come under scrutiny, with implications for coefficients and domestic competition this season.
Rangers have secured a 3-0 win over Celtic in the Old Firm derby, with Dan Neil scoring twice and Nicolas Raskin adding a late finish. The result cements Rangers’ dominance in the 90 minutes and keeps them in a strong position in the league race.
