Both of our biggest clubs look almost certain to enter Europe's premier competition in season 2021/22 if they can secure two more wins following tonight's results in the Champions League .
Slavia Prague's 2-1 Champions League defeat to Dortmund tonight leaves them rooted to the bottom of their group and out of Europe.
It also ends the Czech Republic's participation in Europe and means they are unable to score any more participation points for the country's coefficient.
The Czechs sit in 14th place in the table on 27.3 points with Scotland in the 15th spot on 26.375
.
With a win guaranteeing 0.5 points, it means two more victories would ensure Scotland finishes a place ahead.
While Croatia (19th, 24.875), Serbia (25, 18th), Greece (25.30) and Cyprus (26.250, 16th) have teams remaining in competition, only Cyprus have a realistic chance of gaining enough points to finish ahead of us.
They're 0.125 points behind as it stands and APOEL have already qualified for the next stage of the Europa League .
They face Sevilla in their final group game, a match they will likely struggle in since Julen Lopetegui's side has won all five of the previous games.
Even if APOEL can outscore Rangers and Celtic in future games another two victories would mean that Scotland would still be ahead of the Czechs in 15th - meaning that only an extremely unlikely run of results could mean we fail to secure a place.
