Germany and Denmark have joined England as the nations with an extra place in next season's UEFA Cup.

England lead UEFA's Fair Play rankings and were already guaranteed an extra slot, while teams from Germany and Denmark were drawn Tuesday from a pool of seven countries.

The berths will be awarded to the winners of the trio's domestic Fair Play leagues, who are yet to be announced.

The draw came a day before Glasgow Rangers play Zenit St. Petersburg in the UEFA Cup final in Manchester.

The 'pot' also included Norway, Sweden, Finland, Spain and France.

UEFA's fair play rankings are determined by assessments made by delegates at all European matches for club and national teams.

They include positive play, respect for the opposition, respect for the referee and behavior of the crowd and team officials, along with yellow and red cards.
