As things stand, while this article deals with England, the system applies to Scotland also.
The goal is 15 points and the article shows various ways to get there. Essentially, play regularly internationally or in a top 5 league and youтАЩre in. But read the article because itтАЩs a bit trickier than that.
2) There are elements of this IтАЩd dispute. For example, hereтАЩs the banding of leagues and, lower down, itтАЩs an absolute mess - Denmark (ranked 14 in coefficient table) and Serbia (16) banded lower than Croatia (20), Greece (18) and Czechs (19)? ItтАЩs wholly random.
I get the point that leagues should be banded, but there doesnтАЩt seem to have been loads of sense applied to how these things are actually banded, rather theyтАЩve just shoved a bunch of leagues together and hoped for the best.

4/ Before the arrival of recorded music, what used to be scarce was the actual music itself тАФ required an in-person artist.
After recorded music, the music itself became abundant and what became scarce was curation, distribution, and self space.
5/ Similarly, in careers, what used to be (more) scarce were things like ideas, money, and exclusive relationships.
In the internet economy, what has become scarce are things like specific knowledge, rare & valuable skills, and great reputations.
