[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 76779, member: 5063"] Yeah precisely - as well as what Jessica mentions. Plus, Rugby is far and away the bigger sport in Wales so I'm not convinced there would've been the demand (though that is pure conjecture from my part). Back in the day (I mean up to the 1990s, really) Scotland's football landscape was much much more competitive. There were at least four or five teams who had a realistic shout of winning at the start of each year and there was good enough money in the game up here that Scottish teams could genuinely compete in Europe, for example we won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1972 against Dynamo Moscow and Celtic won the European Cup in 1967 against Inter Milan (although let's not focus on that too much... 🔵🔵). That's since completely stagnated, a lot of the money has left the Scottish football leagues, massively exacerbated by us being relegated for financial difficulties back in the 2010s and having to fight our way back up to the top. There's been little in the way of substantive investment in Scottish football now for quite some time, being part of a British Super League equivalent would genuinely turn that on its head. It would take Rangers and Celtic each 2 or 3 seasons to really compete in it, but building up that budget over time I genuinely think the Scottish teams could be a force in a league like that.
