Funny how the 'hoops' who have a tradition of hating everything British, and especially English, are now virtually begging to be let into our league.
Fuck-em both, don't need em, don't want em.

Besides all the things mentioned, it'd be very wrong in so many levels. Who'd make way? No way should they start in Premier League as neither of the teams have playing squad anywhere near good enough level for English top flight. And why should likes of Hearts and Hibs stay there then? Should they be able to join 1st div? And would some teams in 2nd division, who have earned their place in league ladder have to be relegated?
Ridiculous suggestion motivated by money and money only. No one in England wants them so why should they bend over for the needs of Glasgow clubs?
Here's a better suggestion, why not spread all the income in Scottish league more equally and get other sides more competitive? Everyone would be happy.

last i checked Scotland was on the same island as England, so i think that checks the "continent" box.
i honestly think the whole situation is NOT that different than the English game in that seemingly only a few teams can win the league (the old firm), and smaller clubs struggle because they can't make the investments to reap rewards like the bigger clubs.
Somehow the SPL needs to attract just maybe 2 rich buyers to get teams like Hearts and Hibs or whomever in the ascendency so that it's a more competitive league. That's what's happening in the Prem, and what will help these teams as well. More competition, better league, more money.
Moving them to the Premiership or even the Championship seems silly. I don't believe either club is serious quality to do more than a Fulham (upside) or a Bolton (downside) would do in the Prem. Like Slim said it's two more Newcastles. Yawn.

I wish. Then we wouldnt have to put up with Swansea, Cardiff and Wrexham!!!.
What would happen to Berwick though, as the town is in England, but plays in the Scottish Leagues?
