Rangers make top 10 list for UEFA coefficient contribution

Rangers' staggering contribution to Scotland's coefficient ranking has been laid bare.

Over the past five seasons, the Scottish Premiership giants rank inside the top 10 most successful clubs for points scored in the UEFA ranking.

In figures published by Swiss Football Data, Rangers sit eighth in the extensive 101-team list.

In the last five years, the Ibrox club has amassed 17.825 coefficient points.

By comparison, Real Madrid - who sit top of the pile - have racked up 20.464 points.

Manchester City, GNK Dinamo, Bodo/Glimt, Bayern Munich, Benfia and Paris Saint-Germain are the only teams to have recorded better contributions to their country's ranking than Rangers.

By the same metric, Celtic sit 57th in the standings for their contribution over the same time period with a score of 9.900.

This season alone, Rangers have put 3.750 points on the table. 

Closer in scale this season, Celtic are not far behind having added 3.400.

Of course, Rangers remain in Europe and so, could still add to their already impressive total before the campaign is out. 

Barry Ferguson's side will take on Athletic Club in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

The Spanish giants will represent a tough challenge for Rangers, however, they know that a victory over the two legs would see them then put their wits against either Lyon or Manchester United in the semis.
