Yes, that is true. However, English clubs usually have the potential to do much better. Although due to the lack of reputation involved with Scottish football, Celtic and Rangers do generally get tough draws. I think Celtic usually do well considering the odds that are stacked against them.

Plus, there's the problem of dinero, even teams like W.B.A. will be getting millions from Sky ( I wouldn't be sure of the exact figure ), whereas the Old Firm get something like less than half a million per season from Setanta, so it's not just the reputation ( Which I would argue is fairly good ) but the cash that stops us from getting the players to compete in Europe.
