Another thing that would probably happen if the "Old Firm" played in England would be the total demise of Scottish football in the long term, which I think the authorities over the boarder have recognised. However, Think that a competition involving both English and Scottish would be great, say in place of the League Cup for both Prem divisions, would be interesting spectator wise if nothing else
the reason dailly came to rangers was a couple of facts - we needed experienced cover for cuellar who went to villa - dailly was on a free and has plenty of experience - cheap and easy option - and dont think dailly has had it easy - not at all - many a game he has been found out in..
and to be honest mate - rangers tv is total guff - seriously...I hope though you watch the rangers celtic game this weekend - its basically a title decider - and inregards to the demise of scottish football - its a ticking time bomb anyway mate - the way its being run its gonna self destruct - whether the old firm are there or not - the old firm fund scottish football..
I would be happy for both fa's to get together and let both league cups join at the quarter final stages - so your then back to a mix of 8 teams...and do another draw..would be interesting..
and I say that this teams shifting wont happen...there are teams from australasia now playing the chinese(asian) league and last week juventus or someone wants their 'b' team to play in another league...so maybe in years to come something may happen..
