    <laugh> so Celtic and Rangers will be banished to something like the old Blue Square division of the English league lol.

    They should be embarrassed by the suggestion not clamouring for it.

    They'd only be doing it for the money.

    Keep the Sweaties and their unlovely supporters where they are. They can smash **** out of each other until their heart's content, without bothering anybody else!

    They'd fancy themselves to be in the top tier within 5 or 6 years though.

    Which is what they've wanted for years, but it was never going to happen directly with the PL.

    This is the back door route, and I hope it's slammed shut. The thought of those drunken bell ends invading towns and Cities down here in civilisation every other week, is not a positive.

    Not for me either. I'd have to entertain the likes of @Scan.

    They're both **** though and will receive even less sponsorship and revenue than they do in the SPL and with no CL. I can't see them getting higher than League 1. They'll be ****ed imo. Another Leeds Utd.

    Their match day revenue would be enough to get them through the lower tiers on its own, as they'd outstrip everyone else in that regard

    Once in the Championship they'd no doubt be able to attract new investors to see them over the line into the promised land of the PL and it's mega money.

    I disagree they'd be in the top flight soon enough and eventually both be top 8 at least I imagine.

    Don't see it happening though, and rightly so... **** 'em.

    Not top 8, but lower end of Prem

    Will always have time for a country that gave the world Tom Jones.

    Why lower Prem? Tv money on top of their commercial income they would catapult right near the top within a few years.

    Their own commercial income is like a penny in a fountain when it comes to the PL #smallclubmentality

    Yeah but if they added the PL money and after a few years I'd be willing to bet it would be higher than all but a handful.

    So ignoring all other income, how does their commercial income compare to all PL clubs?

    No doubt they have a big following but I'd liken it to Newcastle or Leeds

    Same worldwide appeal as Newcastle & Leeds? I doubt it, particuarly Celtic. Bear in mind their sponsorship deals etc. Would rocket compared to what they get currently.

    It will never happen anyway so it's not really relevant.

    It will never happen. Celtic will never see CL footy and they will be well aware of that.

    Let them start at the very bottom of the pyramid if they're that keen. Would kill off a lot of what is left of Scottish football I'd imagine.
