In the most significant development towards the regionalisation of European leagues yet, Russian Premier League chief executive, Sergei Pryadkin, has announced plans to merge the Russian and Ukrainian leagues. The plan has been driven by CSKA Moscow, Zenit St. Petersburg and Anzhi Makhachkala, who have formed a foundation committee.
Russian clubs already deal with the rigours of playing across a vast geographical area, so adding a huge nation like Ukraine would present further challenges, but top sides from Russian and Ukraine know that if they are to become genuine top tier clubs they will need to play in as strong a league as possible. The plan is likely to involve feeder national leagues working below the confederated league.
Uefa president Michel Platini has already given the green light to the regionalisation of leagues. The most important question for Scottish football fans, is whether SPL clubs would like to feed into a confederated British league.
The hoary old claim that SPL clubs need Celtic and Rangers has been shown to be a complete falsehood this year. SPL clubs didn’t need Rangers and they don’t need Celtic either – if only those running our game had the balls to ask fans their views on this matter they might reinvigorate our game, instead of managing inevitable decline.
We are not wanted or needed by fans of Motherwell, Hibs, Kilmarnock, Inverness, Aberdeen or Dundee United. These clubs are competing in the best SPL ever with only one problem, a bloated club from Parkhead.
If Scottish football wants a way forward which will see a well-attended and competitive top league, ask the fans, do they need or want Celtic? Do they want an opportunity to feed into a regional league? Any reorganisation which fails to take the views of the paying customer into account will be a disgraceful failure.
Ordered the CQN Annual yet? It is a product of literary brilliance. Get it here in time for Christmas!

Watched the highlights,counted four penalties,I would never get a joab in Scottish fitba,

palacio67,
We’ve had loads of claims of damning reports to be published by the tabloids only to get a damp squib over the last year, so I wouldn’t be too surprised if this was just another meeja windup.
Have a peek. You know you want to. Even the lurking sevcovian will enjoy reading about a proper football team…….provided it’s not busy learning stuff from Gollum.

The Red Valley.
Sounds idyllic.
danso_1888 I agree with the article but down here in London constant use of the word just comes across as a bit forlorn.
I hope my first ever use of the word on here just 8 minutes before your post doesn’t arouse any conspiracy theorists on here.

Any idea how reliable this info from agent 868 is – has he been right before ?
If a lie that’s told is a lie made of a lie…….surely that would be sufficient to melt the sevcovian hive-mind?
thats a tricky question…..its like havin a follow through without a fart!
With regard to Calum Murray and his 93 minutes yesterday, and with the benefit of not walking out at time up, like a frozen snotter
With the benefit of some reflection, attestation, mirroring, backscattering, rumination, deliberation, absorption.
I believe Calum Murray is a cheat CSC

I’d say he’s an attention seeker, apparently he has Darren Bent coming to us on loan in January and said we had signed Conor Wickham during the summer.
Anyone who calls themselve Agent anything shouts ‘look at me’
Stephbhoy,
Good point. Can’t argue with that one.
If the MSM is going to run with a Scottish football corruption story tomorrow, you can bet it’s got nothing to do with Sevco.
First time on since the game yesterday.
A wee thank you to Andrew67 for the posh tickets for myself and my daughter. Having sat in an almost empty Parkhead for the Arbroath game, followed by her trip to Kilmarnock, I think she definitely preferred the hospitality on offer in the lounges.
5 sausage rolls at half time sealed the deal ;-)
Massive thanks to Oldtim67, Johann Murdoch, Malorbhoy and Smashie for your generosity and kindness.
You helped make a wee girl’s trip to Paradise all the more memorable.

If it looks too good to be true it – it usually is
the inmates at zombie zombie think (?) there’s tapes incriminatring the whole world was against deadco
I now have an image of several sevcovians in a canoe telling lies to each other as they sail down the choppy Red Valley River, paddle-less, covered in excrement.
I know…
..I’m not all there…
…thank god.

I agree – if the sun is doing it then it won’t be a Sevco/newco/oldco story
“When you leave Celtic, – you leave home”
Willie Ferguson Celtic FC outside left 1895 – 1897
It’s not uncommon for departing employees to take documents with them. As an insurance policy against being blamed for wrongdoing. And indeed as proof to controvert any such suggestion.
We’ve had one of the biggest scandals in sport running for a year or so now and they’ve yet to cover that!

NICE.
A wee tune from some lhads from County Galway.

Sports personality of the year switched off already. Why do they feel the need to have members of the armed forces as part of a sports review programme?
