Should Scottish teams join the EFL?
- Thread starter easynow
- Start date
May as well let PSG play in the English league.
Start messin with the leagues and FIFA will have us with a single GB team in no time. It will be all English plus Bale. That will hasten the rush to independence more than wee missy Krankie could ever dream about.
Hang on . . . . that would create an independent England. I'm in! Or not. No, leave it alone FFS!

We have NZ teams playing in our Soccer, Basketball, Rugby leagues, takes nothing away from any of those competitions and they aren't sharing a border with us nor 10,000 years of history.
Seek help.

No as Celtic wouldn't qualify for the Champ League from the Championship every year and Rangers wouldn't get the UEFA Cup (or whatever it's called now from league 1.
The other clubs could have their own seperate non-league with about 3 or 4 capable of popping up to League 2 for a year before crashing again.

This, pity it can't be trialled for a season, though I don't think the Scottish public would cope when no Scottish teams qualify for Europe

I'm fine. Don't know why you're in such a flap about club football between English and Scottish teams. It's perfectly do-able.

Rangers & Celtic in the PL would liven things up a bit

If Celtic & Rangers joined the English leagues then the Scottish leagues would fold. The small teams rely on the fixtures against those 2 for their revenue

Frankie Boyle made a joke on HIGNFY, last night.
They were talking about Forest Green being earth friendly, spreading manure on the pitch.
To which he replied: There's already enough sh!t on pitches in Scotland.
No from me!

Just 'no'.
Other than the fact it would kill Scottish football, I actually think in time despite their large supporter base, they would achieve very little. I accept the argument of Celtic vs Man City this season, but this was a cup final for Celtic, the chance to put one over the English. Going to Stoke on a Tuesday night (or even us or Bournemouth) or having to play against better teams week in, week out, I think they'd struggle ultimately and that includes any greater income. Bottom half of PL for me.
Rangers would be comfortably the weakest team in the prem and that includes Sunderland. In fact I'm not even sure they'd finish in the top half of the championship.
What about Aberdeen? Finished above Rangers.........

J'les aurai!
don't really see why they have so many divisions up there
surely it would be better to revert back to just 2 divisions,like in the 60's
at least then 50 per cent of the teams would benefit from playing Rangers,Celtic,Hibs,Hearts and Aberdeen
and would be realistic for other clubs to get that chance
to use say Montrose as an example
at the moment they'ed have to gain 3 promotions in order to play the Old Firm
as against just one with the two tier system

No, not the FA Cup - leave that alone. League Cup - go for that as suggested earlier.

Quite agree with that. The counter argument being, of course, that nearly every team is in touching distance of promotion or relegation - and the super exciting(!) play-offs. For me, your case beats that hands down.
