Could be the only scot prem side to vote to alow the new Rangers in.Aberdeen,Dundee,Hearts all going to say no and Celtic IMO need Rangers more than the rest.

Without Rangers that league will be extremely boring...for spectators and also Celtic players and fans. There will be less and less satisfaction of winning as each year goes by. A team like Celtic need competition.

Motherwell are going to let their fans vote on it and go with the out come of that.Rangers i think need 8 of the 12 teams to vote for them

I think that Celtic are shatting it,because going to be hard to attract decent players to a walk it league.sky are going to pull their rights deal.But for the rest i think they want to punnish the top 2 and will bite the bullet to get rid.

[QPRDave]

yeah that does seem to be the attitude, i can see them applying to enter our leagues, and being successful

[Gtleighsr3]

will the conf north take them?

I have no doubts that Celtic and Rangers would love to play in the EPL. But, there would be profound consequences if they were allowed into English football.

Firstly, it would jeopardise the four home nations FA. Some FIFA members believe that Britain should have just a single team rather than the four we have now. They may eventually vote to remove the four home nation teams and force Britain to have just one. That was the fear of the FAs of Scotland Wales and NI over the Team GB football team for the Olympics. Who would watch a Britain football team? I wouldn't.

Secondly, why should two English teams make way for two Scottish clubs?

Thirdly, there is an independence referendum in Scotland in 2014 and may become an independent state.

Besides, I think the entry of those two clubs to English football would be very unpopular amongst the English.

That is a very good point Richard i had forgotten about that, and alot of them want independence too from what i can gather.
The reason i say that i think they may get in is the fact that we have a number of welsh teams are already playing in this league, and that is surely setting a precident.

Rangers fans dont follow Scotland they follow England

[paulmason]

Scottish football is largely made up of two bob teams in two bob leagues and a majority of them should be semi pro clubs.

[Gtleighsr3]

that would be a step up i dont think they could make to semi pro

[paulmason]

1) Why would English teams vote to let them have the pleasure of playing on England, as two teams would miss out on something.

2) The police would not allow it.

3) The FA's would not allow it.

4) Make them come to terms that they have meaningless leagues, just like Ireand and Wales have.

[Gtleighsr3]

they only want the money on offer down here,#### em and their #### of a minister,vote em out of the uk i say.

The ironic thing is that lots of Celtic fans love watching Rangers in trouble and are too stupid to realise it is the death of their club too. Celtic and Rangers are nothing without each other - that's the way it is. The League will be more of a joke than it is now and they won''t even have any derby games to go to.
