As for Celtic in the Premier League of England, no chance in Hell. At the very minimum if they want to take part in English football then they would have to start (in my mind anyway) at the very least in the Blue Square Premier and work their way up to the Premier League.
I have been a long time critic of the fact that Cardiff, Swansea, Wrexham, Newport and Colwyn Bay can play in English leagues. It is not fair that they have a chance to play in the English leagues when the Welsh FA wouldn't let an English team like Shrewsbury or Telford play in their league. Hypocrisy.
Out of interest, what is the criteria for the Welsh teams to be allowed to play in the English leagues?

I think Celtic are more of a FL Championship team to be honest, Idealy I would call for a Atlantic League including major clubs in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal and Celtic (maybe what remains of Rangers can join as well)
If Shewsbury Town (a League 1 side) joined the Welsh Premier, they will end up dominating it far too much, thats the reason why , Swansea, Wrexham, Newport and Colwyn Bay do not play in that league and thus are in the "better" English Leagues, one of the teams in the Welsh Premier League is the staff team of the Airbus Factory in Broughton, Flintshire, Wales!

Probably the same criteria that allows English teams to play in the Welsh league (Shrewsbury) and Scottish league (Berwick).
It works.

Well it will be broken if Celtic end up winning the SPL all the time!
Also I disagree about the fact we have 1 league system per home nation rather than 1 for the whole of Great Britain (as is the case for the rest of the world)
