However there is no reason a deal could not be made with the BPL to expand that league to 22 teams, 2 being Scottish. Certainly Celtic, and whomever is top of the table. Beating English teams would be a huge source of pride and Scots would throw much into such an enterprise. There would be a true destination for the top teams.

Premier League will stay at 20 clubs; they won't add more. There are already too many fixtures for Premier League teams between 38 Prem matches, two domestic tournaments, and Champions League or Europa League.

Someone floated the idea awhile back of letting Celtic and Rangers enter at a lower level on the English ladder and try to work their way up to promotion into the Premier League. I suspect that would not be appealing to any of the Scottish clubs.
