Second-place ranking in Elite Round qualification[edit]

I think this has been set up wrong on this page. Until my recent edit it said that second place ranking was only based on results against teams placed first and third, and results against fourth-place teams should be ignored. I don't think this is correct - it may be a legacy of what happened last year, when Russia were suspended from UEFA. Rule 15.02 says that "To compare the rankings between the elite round groups and to determine the seven best runners-up, all the group matches are taken into account" (my emphasis). This implies that results against fourth-place teams do count. This means that Scotland, rather than Bosnia, have already qualified from the second-place route. link.
