Celtic rank as the 37th best side in Europe according to FIFA's official qualification table for the Club World Cup - with Rangers joint BOTTOM despite their impressive Europa League form.
It was another European season to forget for the Hoops who crashed out of the Champions League with just one win to show for it.
But it was the first group stage victory managed by a Scottish side in UEFA's top club competition since their win over Anderlecht in 2017, and it was enough to rocket them up the standings as far as FIFA are concerned.
The revamped Club World Cup will commence next year and is set to move from an annual competition to four-yearly. The 2025 edition will take place in June in the USA, 12 months before the international World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
