Should Ranger and Celtic play in the EPL?

This is a tough one for the Scots, BY moving the Scottish super clubs to the English league, we condmen the SPL to a second rate league, however, Rangers and Celtic would benefit greatly from such a change. Such a move, or no move, comes at a huge cost.

It would kill the SPL if that happened. I don't think it is a good idea at all. On the surface, all looks good, but the fallout would be devastating to the Scottish Premier League. What is needed, and appears to be happeneing with Hearts, is the rise of other teams.

Why not, the SPL is in state just spinning. Same every year. This make it fun for everyone.

IT would be great for the teams, not the Scottish League. Onething bad for the teams would be the beatings they take. The EPL is stronger.

Don't make me come down to England and give you a beating English.

I believe the best thing for Scottish football is to develop closer to home, in Scotland. Do not focus on England and fight for the scraps they leave you. Remember the days the Scottish league produced enough players to field Scottish WC teams who competed at the tournament. They competed in the EPL and the SPL. If you throw the Glasgow teams to England, Scottish football will sink. DO NOT DO IT.

We should stay were we are because although going down south would benefit us in a money sense it would almost kill any chance of Rangers/Celtic producing any Scottish Talent as we will go down their and will fight not for top 4 places in that other league so we will look abroad for players

This is true, and Scotland is have trouble the past 15 years or so anyway. No, keep them at home, it is better for Scottish football.

Id rather Rangers and celtic stayed and gave Scottish football a boost instead of helping the English game.

Stevo, you have this ability to casually state your opinion, and still throw a shot at the English. lol
