It worked in Sweden for decades.

Not really Romania Club sides were much like Scotland. But they revamped it. Take a look. Belgium and Bulgaria similar situation to Scotland.

Scottish football fans are funny lot. They moan and moan. But turn the nose up at any reform. Yet Scottish is dead. The national team fails to qualify for anything and is a laughing stock. Scottish Clubs sides cant get even get to the group stages the Champions league or Europa League. Maybe the Uefa Conference League?.

League Reconstruction PREMIER LEAGUE Premier of 14 clubs playing 26 games regular season. Then split the league into top of 6 playing for the Title and European Places. The bottom 7 play for three Relegation Spots. The championship group play a further 10 games and the bottom 7 group play additional four. the bottom two are automatically relegated and the third from bottom plays the winner of the 3,4,5,6 of the championship SCOTTISH CHAMPIONSHIP A league consisting of 16 clubs playing for 30 games. The top are promoted to the Premier League. 3,4,5,6 play against each other for the right to play the third from bottom of the Premier Relegation Group. Bottom 5 automatically relegated. LEAGUE 1 Five groups of 14 clubs with the winners of each group automatically promoted.

Yes is that why Scotland has failed to qualify for Major Tournaments at National Level or Club level.Hmm Maybe people Scotland like seeing there teams fail The current Structure is too weak and does not provide a challenge to clubs and is not raising standards.

Scottish Championship which would consist of 16 clubs. Could be Split into two groups of Eight as well. Bottom eight relegation group in only which teams fight for survival the two remain and the other six are relegated to League One. Top eight play in the promotion group for two place in the Premier League.

LEAGUE RECONSTRUCTION FORMAT 1 PREMIER LEAGUE OF 14 CLUBS SCOTTISH CHAMPIONSHIP OF 16 CLUBS SCOTTISH LEAGUE ONE OF 20 OR 30 CLUBS). SPLIT INTO TWO OR THREE GROUPS OF 10) Premier League structure Top four head into Champions Play offs to decide Title and European places. Teams 5,6,7,8. Head into group A of 4 each playing six games. Top two qualify for Semi finals. Teams 9,10,11,12 do the exact same as as Group A and same format. Runner up of Group plays the Winner of Group B and Runner up of Group B plays A. For two places in the final. The winner of the final plays the fourth placed team of the Champions group. Bottom two teams or just the fourteenth team is relegated to the championship. Scottish League one Top two of each group promoted to the Championship a total of six teams. Replacing the bottom six in the championship. Scrap the League cup to make room from the play offs at the end of the season. Result Belgium plays an similar system and seen improvements to the national side and even club sides are doing better. than previously. Yes i Understand certain people hate the idea. But it does generate interest and standards. In terms of clubs have meaningful matches instead of hum drum games.

Actual it was in Switzerland from 1988-2003 season. Swiss fa and clubs are considering return to this format as brought interest in fans and give clubs. Something to play for.

Idea 2 Scottish Premier League 12 teams has now. But Instead playing 22 regular season. Then split into top Eight playing 14 games for the title and European Places. The bottom four play the top four of The championship to decide who gets promoted and who gets Relegation.

What about Scottish Cup, League Cup and Challenge Cup Scottish Cup keep Scottish League Cup as Present. (Maybe Change to British Cup involving England's Premier League vs Scotland's Scotland Challenge Cup keep as the same. (Maybe youth teams could play as they would give Young players a chance to play against adults such to the Netherlands does with Young Ajax, Young PSV etc
