Thats a historical anomaly, kind of like England, Scotland, Wales and NI having their own international teams despite all being part of the UK.
If teams start picking and choosing where they play it'll cause chaos and there is no way UEFA or FIFA would allow it as the bigger teams would start cherry picking where they want to play.

No. I'm suggesting the newco starts again in the 3rd division regardless of who owns them.
There is still life in this story. Down the line there is a good chance of criminal charges against people involved. Duff and Phelps could well find themselves having to answer to their regulators as to why they've ignored the rules for administrators and the diddy teams ganging up on Celtic to get 50/50 splits in all gate money and a fairer split in the reduced media deal.
