Rangers have propelled themselves into the Scottish Premiership title race following their excellent recent form.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Danny Rohl<\/a>\u2019s side claimed six straight league victories in a row, but that run has now come to an end.\u00a0<\/p>\n Rangers drew 0-0 against Hibernian<\/a> at Easter Road on Sunday (1 February) in a blow to their title hopes. <\/p>\n The Glasgow giants have now fallen six points behind leaders Hearts<\/a>, while Celtic leapfrogged their Old Firm rivals into second place<\/a> on goals scored. <\/p>\n Alongside being crowned Scottish champions, winning the league secures whoever comes out on top with a place in the final qualifying round of the Champions League.\u00a0<\/p>\n Former\u00a0Man City<\/a>\u00a0financial adviser\u00a0Stefan Borson<\/a>\u00a0exclusively told\u00a0Football Insider\u00a0Rangers<\/a>\u00a0would have an \u201camazing\u201d chance of securing a return to the Champions League if they can win the Scottish Premiership title.\u00a0<\/p>\n Rangers were competing in the Europa League<\/a>\u00a0this season, but they failed to make it past the league phase of the competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the importance of winning the title, Borson said: \u201cIt makes a massive difference. I mean, if you have got three rounds of Champions League qualifying, it\u2019s so disruptive to your season, but it\u2019s just actually hard to qualify. <\/p>\n \u201cWhereas if you can get to that one qualifying round, you\u2019ve got an amazing chance. Especially with the new format, we\u2019ve seen you get the four games minimum, and if you somehow can put together a run that gives you 10 points let\u2019s say, and somehow get yourself a play-off as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI think clearly they\u2019re not going to finish in the top eight, right? We know that. It\u2019s just not for teams like Rangers these days. I\u2019m afraid it just is not possible to finish in the top eight, so the best they can do is a play-off. But that feels doable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n How much Champions League qualification could be worth for Rangers<\/p>\n Borson revealed qualifying for the Champions League could be worth up to \u00a360million for Rangers.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cChampions League can be worth \u00a350-60m, and can give you five home games, that\u2019s amazing,\u201d\u00a0said Borson.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s the ultimate prize for Rangers, Celtic and Hearts now. If Hearts are also in the mix, it would be completely transformational for Hearts. But it\u2019s important for Rangers and Celtic to be regularly there, and then topping that off with player trading.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cBut right now, it\u2019s all about can Rangers keep the momentum to win the league. That\u2019s the priority, so I can understand them not doing anything to disrupt that.\u201d <\/p>\n It comes after Rangers reportedly rejected a \u00a313m offer for Youssef Chermiti<\/a> from Fenerbahce<\/a> and a loan offer from Monaco<\/a> for Djeidi Gassama<\/a> that included an obligation-to-buy clause worth more than \u00a310m. <\/p>\n For more Rangers and exclusive news, follow us on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0or join our brand new\u00a0WhatsApp Channel<\/a>\u00a0for instant updates to be sent straight to your phone. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Credit: Imago\/Manh Tung – Breaking Media) Mon 2 February 2026 16:36, UK Rangers have propelled themselves into the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404296,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[10043,1669,59,92607,10044,8058,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-404295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-celtic","tag-champions-league","tag-gb","tag-hearts","tag-rangers","tag-scottish-premiership","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404295\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Rangers](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Rohl-rangers-1024x683.jpg\")
