I would love it if they got into the premiership but it is just not going to happen. We need to find away to make the league stronger!

They've got no right to parachute straight into the premiership and help themselves to the money .They can start off at the bottom of the non-league if they want to join the english league .Same rules for any team who joins the league .

Personaly it wouldn't be a bad idea but they can't just walk into the premiership and throw 2 english teams out just for money, it'll never happen.

They should just bite the bullet and join the non-league sides - it will be worth it five years from now - if they keep going down this same path - wow I do not want to even think about it

No chance! I would much rather they did this and then Scottish players would get more of a chance. I don’t think it is any coincidence that the last time we came close to winning the European cup was 1992 with a team which was full of Scots!

Never was a truer word
Isn't he trying to move Rangers down to England all on his own?

The Old Firm leaving Scotland.....never happen. What Rangers and Celtic need to do is devise a revenue sharing scheme to boost the quality of the SPL. Just a suggestion.

I hate to agree with anyone connected with Rangers FC as Souness is,
but the man is right. Celtic must leave the SPL for something better. England
would be great even if we had to start in the Championship league, it would be better then playing in the league we are now in. Celtic don't owe it to the SPL sides to help out with their financial troubles, Celtic and Rangers
bring the money into the scottisg game via television and should get the bigger cut of the tv pie. Nobody outside Scotland want to see Dundee
playing Aberdeen, or Hibs playing Hearts or any of the others involved.
Viewer's want the big two Celtic and Rangers. If England isnot possible , a new Atlantic league will be brought up again.
