UEFA have been backed by a key legal figure on their right to block new competitions including the collapsed European Super League - in a boost for Celtic and Rangers.
Advocate General Athanasios Rantos offered his opinion that UEFA and FIFA's right to block competitions is not in breach of EU law.
Organisers of the proposed Super League - which would see a number of elite clubs breakaway from European competitions including the Champions League - had claimed it was unfair for UEFA and FIFA to block the competition and threaten sanctions against clubs should they join the breakaway set-up.
