No - the scottish national team is struggling enough if you took away the old firm, your national team would continue to struggle - besides they cant join the English Premier League because they are not english or have been in the English leagues for years - which is where Cardiff don't count as they have been part of the English leagues for years and have even won a FA cup.

Firstly, it needs pointing out that Scotland and England are nations, and Wales is a principality. Therefore Welsh teams can play in England, much like Monaco plays in the French league. But Scottish clubs should not be allowed to play in England, because they have their own country and league.
And anyway, Scottish fans will be against the idea, because if they qualify for Europe they will be representing England.

Yes and it is not a stupid question. Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U and possibly Liverpool are always in contention for the premiership and have it sewn up most of the time which is unfair but in the Scottish premier league Celtic and Rangers have continually monopolised the league for as long as I can remember.

iit's an age old question that keeps popping up. for me Im agaisnt it as the scottish league is the scottish league, if one or two clubs come in, then you'd have to let the rest of the teams into the leagues, and not only that I think it would casue money issues with fans travelling all over the contry paying a hell of a lot to travel and with the stupid gate prices that people pay now it would be the first of many nails into the coffin to casue the football league to collapse. on the bright side there wouldnt be these premadona's expecting money to just play when there's other kids out there who would want to play just for playing sake

Absolutely definitely not. If "the cash was distributed evenly" there would be 20 English teams capable of winning the Prem. It WAS an exciting league before Sky came along.
The old firm are quite happy sharing everything available to them between them, and get rich enough from it.
You'll be asking Ajax Amstedam and Bayern Munich to join the Prem. next..

the answer to this is no , and the only reason is because the english would not know what hit them as regards to fan base ( huge ) makes man utd and newcastle , liverpool look like a small club . the police could not control 20 , 000 rangers or celtic fans trying to get into pompey or watford ... and they will get these numbers because most people follow either rangers or celtic apart from their english club ... so for example if QPRFC were away at preston but rangers were playing arsenal away i would go and follow rangers ..... celtic and rangers are to big for england apart from that i dont want the divides with my catholic mates like you guys have up there ... and this is said from a english guy .... we could not cope with you nutters .... build the wall higher please some one LOL

no celtic and rangers alone should not be invited, if the invite was an open one to all british teams that were good enough welsh and irish as well then that would be fair - ok celtic and rangers might be the only ones to get in but at least then they arrivied on merit and could go out again if they started losing and get replaced by cardiff or dublin or whoever :P

No, i've got self belief Scottish communities ought to play contained interior the Scottish league and English communities ought to play contained interior the English league. there are a style of of communities in England pushing for PL status and having extra suitable opposition won't do the triumphing communities in this u . s . any favours. communities like Blackpool and Stoke ought to probable now no longer have had the prospect of being contained interior the PL with the creation of those Scottish communities. If those 2 are in the present day promoted does this propose we ought to constantly advance the form of communities contained interior the PL by utilising utilising 2? Or is it plenty extra suitable probable that 2 communities that end 2d and 0.33 contained interior the championship conflict with the aid of because of the fact of it? Scottish soccer needs to advance, it ought to save its optimum proper communities and build around that than attempt to invade yet yet another u . s .'s because of the fact their league isn't sturdy adequate. The Welsh league is undesirable, don't get me incorrect. in spite of the reality that does having Cardiff, Swansea, Wrexham etc contained interior the English league make their league extra suitable any time rapidly? the respond is not any. communities contained interior the Championship will conflict with the aid of, additionally English game enthusiasts jointly with Charlie Adam who has in trouble-free words have been given acceptance from great golfing kit because of the fact of Blackpool's exposure contained interior the PL. (edit) ok my undesirable! i think of it extremely is real for the likes of Sidwell in spite of the reality that who have been given right here from examining and carried out for Chelsea the season after.
