A ten team league has eight teams playing to avoid relegation before a ball is kicked, ourselves included

You would like to think that a bigger league might give some clubs a level of comfort so that they might try to play a bit, throw on a youngster, try something different etc

I?m probably being a bit naive but I know for certain what ten teams would look like and it aint pretty

[swaddon2]

What about a 16 team league with a split? Play each other twice (30 games), then the top eight and bottom eight play each other once (7 games).

That reduces the fixtures by one, but does not solve the "problem" of having four Old Firm games. Mind you, nobody outside their fan base watches them. I do not think pubs in the rest of the UK are full to bursting whenever they play each other.

[Mason89]

Yep, the old firm viewing figures in the UK are a bit of a myth. 4 times as many people would rather find out what the Sugdens are up to in the Woolpack, than the Dingles at Ibrox

But, you got to live in hope ? I agree, I don`t want it back to 10.

Would rather only play the cheeks twice each a season, and would choose a 16 or 18 team league, with some rule ordering each team to play a few young Scottish players. How about making it suitably cooky by deciding the bigger your turnover , or share of tv money, the more u-21 Scots need to be played ? ( Currently we`d struggle with that. As would a few other sides. But mainly the cheeks !!! )

Totally agree with you bus.

Ive been impressed with Jack Milne when I have seen him play. The next couple of seasons I think he will cement his place in the first team.

He will eventually be our first choice centre back.

I rate the loon too. Got injured at a time when I think he would have cemented a place in the team.

Be great to see one of our own make it.

[Bojangles9]

Brilliant news. Had feared a perceived lack of opportunities would see him looking to move on.

Well done Jack (and club)

[GASC1980]

Need him for European squad next season (should we make it).

Well said it before, on one hand good the guy is getting backed but we’re going all in on him & when he goes we’re back to square one.

Over a year now since we announced we’d be taking in a Technical Director…

[swaddon2]

Jimmy's pal Erik Edman will be joining our scouting team this summer.

It turns out this lad was a Swedish international player who played a season with Tottingham Spurs about twenty years ago.

I've never heard of him.

You should have a peek on YouTube for his goal at Anfield

Hopefully he can find us someone who can do that.

Dabbagh's parent club have extended his contract with them.
