It is not just Celtic followers who will be inclined them on in Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-ultimate with St Johnstone.
People that assist Hibernian, Dundee United, St Mirren - and maybe even the more pessimistic Aberdeen admirers - may even be hoping Brendan Rodgers holders get for 1 very simple explanation...
A ultimate in between Celtic and Aberdeen - whatever the end result - will mean the highest five finishers during the Scottish Premiership might be assured Europe future year.
Why is that?
The Scottish Cup winners get paid a location in the Europa League Perform-off round, Along with the crew that finishes 3rd within the Premiership going into the 2nd qualifying round.
Whoever is fourth, might be inside the equal phase from the Convention League.
Having said that, if Celtic acquire the cup, every thing shuffles down mainly because they have presently clinched a location within the Champions League qualifiers. Rangers will too.
Meaning the Europa play-off spot - plus the certain six-sport Conference League campaign that comes along with it - goes to whoever finishes third during the league.
Presently, that is Hibs. But United and Aberdeen and St Mirren - albeit the arithmetic is massively versus them - are still in the mix.
But even the clubs who miss out on out on 3rd could still be rewarded.
Fourth spot might be upgraded from Meeting League to Europa League, with that Conference spot planning to whoever finishes fifth.
St Johnstone, not surprisingly, could scupper All of this with a second victory more than Celtic within a month.
Need to they are doing so, then both they or Aberdeen could sit up for at least 6 lucrative games within the Conference League come the autumn.
