Two top flight leagues with 16 teams each. Scotland cannot sustain any more than that. The lower half of the teams in the 2nd flight will probably choose to be part time. Two up two down with clubs from the Junior leagues being 'invited' to take their chance in the pros. Many may not want to. The Old Firm B teams idea is not a good one. All you would get is the two teams pushing for a promotion they couldn't have each year because they buy up all the young talent. Better to have the young players from the giants loaned out to other teams. None of this will happen and the Scottish game will continue to go down the pan because of too many vested interests.
