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.

I find is very unusal that we are the only nation that is represented by seperate teams in the international stage (bar a few exceptions) and we have different national league systems as well.
I have called for Europe top clubs to leave their National Leagues to form a European Super League (so that smaller teams have a chance at the Top League Titles). I have also called for Top clubs from smaller European Nations to form a new league called the Atantic League (to compete better with top leagues of England, Spain, Italy and Germany)
Those suggestions will help Football overall, I see no reason why FIFA and UEFA disagree...
As for the Rangers debarcle, I hope that after all this Scottish Football is better in the long run
Also how does the SPL-SFL merger affect all this?
