All for them joining but surely it would open the door for other Scottish teams to join and Northern Irish teams.

If you are going to make a British league then it would have to mean more than just 2 Scottish clubs joining otherwise we have another European super league scenario where the Scottish system would be bent over a table.

Yep.

I can't ever see it happening, either. The Scottish FA wouldn't want it to happen as the SPL would then be pretty worthless. The only fair way it could happen is if Celtic and Rangers started from the very bottom of the English system, which I can't see them doing either. It would take years and years to get to the PL, IF they could get there. I think they'd probably face stiff competition in League 1 and certainly in the Championship. Their squad would decrease in quality with the lack of money in the lower leagues.

There's no way that they will just be placed into the PL. As previously mentioned, it sounds very 'ESL' in that regard.

Me neither, wouldn't be fair to place them in the Premier League & there's no way they would accept starting at the bottom of the pyramid.
Must be a slow news day to rehash this.

Why would a new British League be less controversial than a European Super League? The same principal applies not promoting teams on merit on field of play
