However only the Glasgow clubs, Dundee sides, Edinburgh sides would be match. Maybe Aberdeen. The rest i doubt it. Thanks mate. But if you leave us out under your plans we will rule Scotland. Decades of domestic dominance. 30 years of OF dominance to become a mere blip in the history of Aberdeen's league. I like it, good idea Darren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish clubs' main source of income is gate receipts, whereas English clubs benefit from greater TV income. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a lot of traditional Scottish rugby teams are on their knees because of it, grass roots is not a very "happy place". For me any move to this would be the death knell of Scottish football. Not a fan of cross border leagues, as to be fair it's nothing to do with football, but driven by a desire for TV money and armchair viewers for the TV companies. Due to Scotland having, to be fair, such a strong league in terms of the number of folk that go to see it, would that actually help or would playing teams that are part-time drop the Scottish "quality" and therefore fans and viewers once the novelty wore off and the reality hit. The Scottish leagues left behind would drop in comparison and in my view this would be detrimental to Scottish football and would confirm to the world we'd given up.

That's going to bring Sky running with their cheque book. 2. What would be the attraction for the Scottish, and especially Welsh, clubs? 3. What is a "County Part"? 4.

BFTD Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I like the idea of our teams playing in a 'Celtic League', purely because of the utter fury that it would inspire from one club's fans. The SPFL already is Celtic's league thanks to Liewell, amirire?Seriously, though, this idea could be a winner. Throw in the Colts and a few part-timers from the lower reaches of the English pyramid, and you've got a league structure that could aspire to the same success as the Challenge Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However UEFA now accept Cross Border leagues will become a reality for clubs to compete with the bigger leagues.I realise this may sound rich after last July's fiasco, but this would be a total mismatch in quality. The top six Scottish clubs are so far ahead of those from each of the other leagues. If you allowed natural promotion and relegation to this I'd be willing to bet that a 20 team Celtic league would eventually contain 18 or 19 Scottish clubs with a token one or two from Ireland.And despite people constantly claiming that UEFA don't mind cross-border leagues, there is exactly zero evidence of that and nobody anywhere in Europe has actually done so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't improvement our game any. Again. Won't EVER happen as it would need a majority vote and I cannot many voting for it. Certainly none of the part time sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fucking sick of it. Don't like it, then bugger off and don't watch it. I take it that those that call it that have absolutely no knowledge of world football. Far worse laughing stocks out there. We do have problems yes but a laughing stock it isn't. To be fair nothing would make us a laughing stock quicker than a 14 team top flight with a 6/7 split and 1 team looking on, with the bottom 7 playing a grand total of four post split games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
