What an opportunity missed. It wasn't a big opportunity but an opportunity nonetheless.

Scottish football will never progress unless the powers that be facilitate some mergers between clubs to raise some capital and create some interest. Welsh rugby hasn't been this strong since the mid-70s, and this has largely been achieved by reducing the number of elite teams to 4 - Blues, Scarlets, Dragons, Ospreys.

By halving the number of teams they will improve the quality, increase the number of full-time professionals and make the League more attractive to investors and fans.

The Rangers demotion should have been the catalyst for radical thinking. Instead, today's decision condemns Scotland to another 20 years in the football wilderness.
