- The Scottish Premier League (SPL) is won by Rangers or Celtic, but not before a lot of miserable games on freezing cold afternoons. The Scottish title has always been and always will be won by Celtic or Rangers (the Old Firm), who generally alternate. One half of Glasgow lifts the trophy and the other moans about biased refereeing. The Scottish Football Association has outlined the following possible solutions for Old Firm dominance of the SPL: - Move Rangers and Celtic to English league - Force Rangers and Celtic to play with 10 men - Scotland to invade England

- The Scottish Premier League (SPL) is won by Rangers or Celtic, but not before a lot of miserable games on freezing cold afternoons. The Scottish title has always been and always will be won by Celtic or Rangers (the Old Firm), who generally alternate. One half of Glasgow lifts the trophy and the other moans about biased refereeing. The 2005-06 campaign was the only season in history when the Glasgow giants didn’t finish first and second, Hearts didn’t seem to have read the script and were runners-up. Rangers boss Alex McLeish (the Big Eck) had declared in pre-season that he ‘wanted to see what would happen’ if they finished third – the experiment wasn’t well received by their fans. The Scottish Football Association has outlined the following possible solutions for Old Firm dominance of the SPL: - Move Rangers and Celtic to English league - Force Rangers and Celtic to play with 10 men - Scotland to invade England Scotland has two representatives in the Champions League. These places go to Rangers and Celtic. One team are eliminated in the qualification stages and try their hand at the UEFA Cup, the other club go out in the group stages of the competition proper. Two sides are handed places in the UEFA Cup and are mopped up by the likes of Metalist Kharkiv and FC Dnipro Dniproprtrovsk. The bottom team in the SPL are relegated to the Scottish First Division – it’s usually Falkirk or St Johnstone or something.
