The Light Blues have restored to being a powerhouse on the European scene after a devastating first-round elimination to Progres Niederkorn of Luxembourg in the 2017-18 edition of the competition. This year, this resulted in a visit to the Europa League final, following extended runs in the tournament under Steven Gerrard in prior seasons. Those exploits have put them in the pretty exclusive company in terms of coefficient points collected over the previous five years.
As per Swiss Football Data, Gers had amassed 17.075 points in the same era, almost as much as Barcelona, Manchester United, and Juventus. Bayern Munich is the league leader with 19.714 points. The top five are completed by Liverpool, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, and Ajax. FC Salzburg, Red Star Belgrade, Real Madrid, and Chelsea are the teams that stand among them and Rangers in ninth place. In other news, former Rangers player Bruno Alves has announced his retirement from the sport. The Portuguese centre-back arrived at Ibrox in 2019 with a good reputation, but he struggled with injuries and was a disappointment.
