PREMIER LEAGUE

Champions Manchester City, runners-up Manchester United, third-placed Arsenal and defending champions Chelsea will all enter next season's Champions League at the group stage.

The three Europa League entrants will be fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur (at the group stage), fifth-placed Newcastle United (in the play-off round) and Carling Cup winners Liverpool (in the third qualifying round).

Champions Fleetwood Town and play-off winners York City are promoted to League Two.

Hayes & Yeading United, Darlington,Bath City and Kettering Town are relegated, although Kettering must drop at least two divisions because of their financial problems while Darlington have been moved down four divisions because of theirs.

They will be replaced by Blue Square Bet North champions Hyde and play-off winners Nuneaton Town, and Blue Square Bet South winners Woking and play-off winners Dartford.

SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE

Why can Rangers not play in Europe next season? 1) The likelihood of being able to emerge successfully from administration before the 31 March deadline was, at best, "optimistic" given the club's financial situation 2) The company accounts cannot be signed off by auditors in a manner that would meet the criteria required by the footballing authorities as the club would have to satisfy a going concern test confirming how it will continue to be funded until the end of next season. Given that the administrator did not know who will own the club by 31 March, this could not be reasonably guaranteed 3) Under Uefa regulations, Rangers must have paid or settled all tax debts outstanding at 31 December 2011, which are estimated to be at least £5m - another guarantee the administrator cannot fulfil 4) The club must have paid or compromised all of its outstanding creditors prior to the 31 March deadline, which did not happen Read more from the statement

Champions Celtic will enter the Champions League along with third-placed Motherwell, because runners-up Rangers are unable to compete in Europe after they went into administration and were unable to meet a Uefa deadline of 31 March to submit accounts.

Celtic and Motherwell will both join the Champions League at the third qualifying round stage.

Normally, the teams finishing third and fourth would qualify for the Europa League along with the Scottish Cup winners - but Motherwell's elevation means the teams finishing fourth and fifth qualify.

Scottish Cup winners Hearts enter the Europa League in the play-off round, fourth-placed Dundee United in the third qualifying round and sixth-placed St Johnstone (who take the league place vacated by fifth-placed Hearts) in the second qualifying round.

There is no extra Europa League place for Scotland from Uefa's Respect Fair Play league this season after the three places went to Norway, Finland and the Netherlands. external-link
