A well-known adaptation of the The Simpsons meme “Won’t somebody please think of the coefficient” was used on Thursday when Shakhtar Donetsk came from behind to defeat Aberdeen. stung into the hearts of Scottish football supporters.
You’ll cry if you don’t laugh, though.
Sporting Braga bamboozled Celtic, Rangers lost to Sturm Graz, and Aberdeen took the lead at home to Shakhtar Donetsk.
Scottish football has been hampered in Europe for the first time this season thanks to three negative outcomes that were captured on the same night.
The only difference this week was that all three teams were in divisions that had been relegated to.
Celtic and Rangers have shown they are miles away from the top of the Champions League, but Aberdeen did show signs of improvement when they kicked off their Conference League campaign with a stingy 3-2 defeat to the Ukrainians.
Was Europe’s attention really on our three representatives on a night when Roma lost to Lille and Ange Postecoglou’s Nottingham Forest lost to Midtjylland and Roma had three penalties saved at home?
It’s reasonable to assume that few people would have been aware of the earlier blow Sporting Braga’s defeat of Celtic. Without the much-discussed disallowed goal, which would have allowed the hosts to leveller, is this also true.
Many people on the continent are captivated by the “tradition and atmosphere” that characterize Scottish clubs, as German commentator Derek Rae pointed out.
If Celtic hadn’t been keeping up with the most recent fan protest developments, a far-from-full park will have surprised a few people, as will their home defeat, because many still associate Celtic with their “fortress” in Glasgow’s east end. Even if it hasn’t been recently.
When I speak with German colleagues, they always give me goosebumps when they visit a Scottish stadium, especially Celtic or Rangers, Rae said.
“They leave believing this is a real football country when they visit these venues.”
We can be overly critical of our own football, they say.
In the 36-team league phase, Celtic sits 28th and Rangers 32nd after matchday two of the second-tier competition. Both places are automatic eliminations.
Given Celtic’s gutsy performance against Bayern Munich in the Champions League play-off in February, despite their eventual narrow defeat, many European expectations have been met this season. Rangers have also been regulars throughout the Europa League season, with the highlight of the year, obviously being the 2022 final.
The overriding recent feeling of regression has been attributed to Thursday’s results.
Do others, however, see it differently?
Rae once said, “The perception is not as dramatically great or bad as we Scots might think.”
We are Scots, and we do occasionally like to be overly critical of our own football, which is right.
However, I don’t know that there is a perception that “oh my goodness, Scottish football is so much worse than it was three or four years ago” in other parts of Europe.
Rae added that John McGinn’s Aston Villa team’s recent success in recruiting international players from non-Scottish clubs could influence how people view our game, highlighting yet another magical night.
What makes it important?
Cold, hard coefficient points are the main component of the equation, aside from cold, hard cash.
These are the factors that determine where your nation is in the rankings, and they also determine how many European spots you will be able to get and where you can get them.
As of right now, Scotland is 40th in the table in terms of coefficient points earned this year. That places them 18th overall, five seasons’ worth, behind Cyprus, who are currently ranked 18th.
Scottish clubs would start their worst campaigns since 2012 if standing of the country couldn’t be improved to 14th.
In two years, representation would drop from five to four clubs.
Future champions would receive three Champions League qualifiers instead of just one, runners-up would receive three Conference League qualifiers, and third-place finishers would receive three, as well as Scottish Cup winners would receive four Europa League qualifiers instead of just one.
The elimination of the top 12 already leaves the Scottish Cup winners with the chance to enter the third qualifying round of the Europa League rather than the play-offs and not be guaranteed group stage football.
Instead of the same stage as the Europa League, the team that finished third in the Premiership will enter the Conference League in the second qualifying round.
Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana summarized the third day of the government shutdown in a manner that sounds like a sigh.

Prior to a weekend break, the US Senate reconvened on Friday to vote once more on a continuing resolution that would fund the government through November 21.
Republicans have referred to the resolution as a “clean” budget bill that upholds the status quo. Democrats have stated that they will not take any legislation into account that does not take into account healthcare spending into account.
By the end of the year, the Affordable Care Act subsidies are expected to expire, leading to a rise in insurance premiums for many Americans. Democrats have also urged Republicans to reconsider changes to Medicaid, the government’s program for low-income households, following the passage of a bill earlier this year that narrows its requirements.
However, there is no known solution to the impasse over Capitol Hill, with both parties sharing the blame. On both sides, there was frustration.
Kennedy remarked on the Senate floor, “This shutdown is bone-deep, down-to-the-marrow stupid.”
Democrats rejected the Republicans’ proposal, which had previously been divided by party lines, for a fourth time on Friday.
Only three senators, including independent Angus King of Maine and Democratic John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, split in the party caucus.
Senator Rand Paul also declined to cast a ballot alongside members of his party on the Republican side. He claimed that his concern was with the government’s ability to finance the program.
The 100-seat Senate chamber’s vote resulted in a 54 to 44 vote, which is far below the 60 votes required by Republicans to overthrow a Democratic filibuster to scuttle the bill.
Democrats’ bill proposes a bill that would allocate more than $1 trillion to healthcare spending as a counterproposal. However, that also lost a Senate vote.

Capitol Hill’s finger-pointing
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stated in a press conference that negotiations on the healthcare issue could only be resolved if the Republicans changed their strategy.
“Today, the Republicans performed the same play and produced the same outcomes.” Will they alter their course, asks the question? he told the media.
Republicans were accused of “wasting a week” with four votes that ended up being equal.
He stated that “my caucus and Democrats are adamant that we must protect the American people’s healthcare.” The White House and other Republicans have pledged to make this a “maximum pain” shutdown rather than attempt to bargain with Democrats and reopen the government.
Republicans were also accusing the Democrats of trying to stifle the process rather than sticking with the status quo.
Additionally, House Speaker Mike Johnson argued that Medicaid programs needed to be overhauled urgently.
“Medicaid has experienced a lot of fraud and abuse, so we made a change,” he said. Why? At a press conference, he stated, “To help increase and improve the quality of American health services for the population.” There were many people who were never supposed to be on Medicaid.
In preparation for the Democratic Party’s 2028 primary, Johnson claimed Schumer “has got to show that he’s fighting Republicans.”
However, the federal workers who were stranded in the middle of the shutdown were shown compassion on both sides of the aisle.
Almost 750, 000 people are being furloughed each day as the shutdown drags on, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Non-paying employees are required to continue working.
According to the budget office’s statistics, the total pay for the furloughed employees is about $400 million per day. Federal employees will eventually receive backpay after the shutdown is over, but only after the government employee fair treatment act, which was passed in 2019.
tactics of pressure
Johnson issued a notice on Friday afternoon that the House of Representatives would not be in session until at least October 14 in an effort to pressure the Democrats to pass the continuing resolution.
Instead, his memo instructed representatives to work in districts other than the US capital.
The Senate should be pressured to take action on the House’s already-passed continuing resolution, according to that announcement. Prior to Johnson’s announcement, the House was anticipating starting its work at the Capitol on October 7.
Meanwhile, the majority leader of the Senate, John Thune, made the announcement that he would weigh the Democrats’ concerns regarding healthcare until the government was reopened.
He could not be certain that the Democrats’ aborted healthcare subsidies would be reinstated.
Because we can’t guarantee that there will be enough votes to support the COVID subsidies, we can’t make commitments or promises about them. However, Thune said that I’m open to discussions with our Democratic colleagues regarding how to address that issue.
“But that can’t happen while the government is in disarray,” he said.
Meanwhile, Republican President Donald Trump has threatened to use the shutdown as an opportunity to reduce government spending and funding for initiatives that favor Democratic strongholds.
His administration has already announced that it is suspending about $ 8 billion in clean energy initiatives as well as $ 18 billion in New York City infrastructure projects, including those involving tunnels under the Hudson River.
However, Chicago, Illinois, was made known on Friday by Russ Vought, Trump’s director for the US Office of Management and Budget.
Vought claimed on social media that two $2.1 billion infrastructure projects in Chicago have been put on hold to prevent funding from flowing through race-based contracting.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated at a press briefing that a reduction in the federal workforce was being planned, and that Vought and agency leaders had met to discuss layoffs.
This government shutdown may be over, if Democrats follow the right course. Our soldiers can recoup their pay. Leavitt said, “We can go back to serving the American people.”
“But layoffs are an unfortunate consequence of this shutdown continuing, as we’ve already said.
However, Democratic leaders rejected the threat as being used as a distraction from the pressing issue of healthcare.
Schumer  argued in his remarks that Republican leaders should respond in accordance with Schumer’s claim that healthcare was a top priority for both Republican districts.
Andry Rajoelina, the president of Madagascar, has rebuffed calls for his resignation from a youth-led protest movement that he believes is a coup plot being carried out by rivals.
Following a “strategic” pause in the near-daily demonstrations led by a movement known as “Gen Z,” protesters took to the streets of Antananarivo on Friday to demand that the president step down over his alleged failure to provide basic services, including water and electricity.

According to the UN, at least 22 people have died as a result of the protests’ beginning on September 25. According to footage from Real TV Madagasikara, police used tear gas to disperse marchers in the capital on Friday.
“No one benefits from the country’s destruction.” In a speech that was posted on his Facebook page, Rajoelina stated, “I am here, I stand here, ready to listen, to extend a helping hand, and to bring solutions to Madagascar.”
He claimed that some politicians were considering staging a coup while he was speaking to the UN in New York last week, without providing any proof, and that some of them were planning to exploit the demonstrations.
He continued, quoting those he claimed were responsible for the action and that “some people want to destroy our country.”
Rajoelina’s speech was deemed meaningless by the Gen Z movement, promising to take “all necessary measures” if the president didn’t “reply favorably” to its demands within 24 hours.
In addition, protests took place in Toliara and Fianarantsoa, two cities in the north of the coastal city of Mahajanga.
On October 3, 2025, protesters in Antananarivo, Madagascar, throw stones at police during a nationwide youth-led protest against worsening water shortages, power outages, and demands for Andry Rajoelina’s resignation.
Opportunistic organizations
The World Bank estimates that Madagascar has a wealth of resources but is still one of the poorest nations in the world. 32 million people will live below the poverty line in 2022, according to the World Bank, and 75% of that population is male.
Rajoelina’s government was forced to sack it on Monday, prompting dialogue, by recent unrest. He claimed to have met with various groups for the past three days in a post on his X account at the end of the week.
Rasata Rafaravavitafika, Madagascar’s foreign minister, claimed a “massive cyberattack” and a “targeted digital manipulation campaign” were being launched from another nation.
According to analyses conducted by our specialized units, an agency with advanced technological capabilities initially directed this operation from abroad, she said.
She claimed that “opportunistic groups” had “infiltrated” the demonstrations and intended to “exploit the vulnerability of some of Madagascar’s young people.”
Former Antananarivo mayor Rajoelina won the election in 2009 after an uprising that removed former president Marc Ravalomanana.

Although it was a “statement,” Manchester United still had a long way to go in the direction of a team that has already won six Women’s Super League titles.
Wieke Kaptein’s exquisite opener was canceled out by Anna Sandberg’s sublime volley, which put an end to Chelsea’s 100 percent start to the new season.
The Red Devils, who had lost 10 and drawn one of their 11 previous league games against the Blues, were pleased with the outcome.
However, United extended their unbeaten run to five games and came away with just one point rather than three as boss Marc Skinner claimed.
Ella Toone and Jess Park both wasted chances before drawing a close call with a dipping volley, while Jess Park should have done better with a chipped effort.
Former England international Fara Williams said to BBC Three, “I felt like Manchester United will probably be kicking themselves.”
They had a lot of good chances, and they might have won if they had maintained their composure in the closing third of the game.
United could have easily left United with nothing, though.
Chelsea’s Keira Walsh was denied by goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce in a superb late save, and Sandberg and Le Tissier both put their bodies on the line in the closing stages to thwart the Blues.
Former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis commented on BBC Three, “They’re the first team to take points off Chelsea this season.”

The key question at the start of this season is whether anyone can put an end to Chelsea’s dominance, which has been the same question over the last six WSL campaigns.
In Sonia Bompastor’s first season in charge, the Blues won the previous term’s trophy by going 22 games unbeaten, which was a part of a domestic triple, which included winning the Women’s FA Cup and League Cup as well.
Since Chelsea last lost a league game, 4-3 defeat at Liverpool on May 1, 2024, it has been more than 500 days.
On Friday night, Manchester United almost ended their unbeaten streak in a top-two match, and Skinner was proud of his players’ “most brave performance.”
“We’re constructing,” He said, “You can sense it, you can see it.”
“We are disappointed that we didn’t win.” Not many teams could match Chelsea in terms of the chances we gave them. Therefore, it was credit to them [the players] for us to do that and how we did it.
United have quickly risen to the position of WSL title contenders since being promoted from the Women’s Championship, only two points behind Chelsea at the end of the 2022-23 season.
Their first significant women’s trophy, the FA Cup, was won the following year.
Former England international White thought a draw against the current league leaders demonstrated how far the organization has come, even though it may be seen as a missed opportunity for United.
She said, “You have to examine that consistency.” They have played for Chelsea 11 times and only drawn once, this time for the second time, so I think it’s really good for their consistency and what they’re up to as a team.
It demonstrates that it is effective and that they are improving.
When asked if Skinner should be given more credit for United’s rise against more well-known clubs, White responded, “What he’s done with these players, the philosophy, the DNA, how determined they are are.
What happens to title races now?

Chelsea may have come to an end to their perfect start, but they still lead United by two points and are currently 13 points clear.
Skinner claimed that the Blues won’t be as easy this time around with their display at Progress With Unity Stadium, where Chelsea won the title last season.
He continued, “It demonstrates to Chelsea that they are not just going to walk the league.”
Every person must be putting in a challenge, according to “we need to make sure.” You saw the quality improvement, and I believe we are improving, too.
Bompastor, the manager of the Blues, said a draw was “not a bad result at Manchester United,” but that he was “not happy” with Chelsea’s performance.
When asked if United had any title rivals, she replied, “I believe many teams are real competition for us, with each game presenting a different challenge. You must be prepared for each game.
If Manchester City defeat Arsenal at home on Saturday (12:00 BST), they could close the gap on the leaders by defeating Chelsea in the season opener.
