This is a bigger problem for Scottish football as a whole, IF Sky organised a new deal as Rangers wouldn't be there, this is sheer greed from Sky.

I have said before that there are more clubs in the Scottish League than Celtic and Rangers, and yes l know that the old firm bring in lots of money and fans, but you have to look at the whole picture here.

Scottish is in poor state, and all you have the same each season is the war between the big two.

Tv companies are to blame, they pay outrageous money for EPL but when it comes to SF, they think they can they can offer as low as possible.

We had a problem with Setanta, they had Blue Square football, that went bust as they put more in than viewers.

We have the same with Premier Sports, its only on Sky but not VM.

I would say split the Scottish football up, get them into a Northern version of the English and let the Scottish Prem get on with it.
