Rangers & Celtic B teams in Ibrox club's 14-14-18 SPFL plan

Rangers and Celtic would both have 'B' teams in the bottom tier of a 14-14-18 league set-up being proposed by the Ibrox club for next season.

Moves in Scotland for 'B' Teams in the league structure. If it happens, I think we will struggle to keep them out of our game.

Nah, lots of undeveloped countries have them. We have strong lower leagues so don’t need them.

We opened the box the day they were allowed into the Trophy. It’s when, not if.

 

[chuckbert]

I thought Rangers already converted themselves into a B team a few years ago.

 

[yellowbow]

Well surely now that we’re rising up the leagues the debate on here will be whether we’ll benefit from putting a B team in to play the likes of Swindon..? Thrashing them might boost the confidence of our academy kids..

They also have B teams here in Malaysia. Do remember these teams can get relegated but cannot into the same league as their A side.

If the 4 division structure is to continue to exist, either they don't penalise teams for financial difficulties or they could let B teams in.

If in Div 1, would you rather play against the likes of Accrington or Liverpool B?

Accrington every time.

 

[mooro]

We have an incredibly strong pyramid in this country, perhaps the best/deepest in the world, so there are plenty of clubs that could come in to replace any victims of this current crisis and ahead of any b-teams without devaluing the competition.

 

[holdsteady]

We would never of got Ross Perry and Stevie Kinniburgh on loan if Rangers had had a b team back then.

Slippery slope ??

 

[nick68]

We had a strong pyramid but who knows with Covid-19, this will be the opportunity they have been waiting for if the pyramid is weakened by clubs suffering financial issues.

 

[RyanioBirdio]

Accrington every time.

Yep. Accrington or less fixtures. Never a B Team under any circumstances for me.

I agree. I much prefer the feeder club concept to b teams. It just feeds the Chelsea style acquisitive approach which screws young players and suffocated the actual game.

Of course a couple of years ago the Celtic B team would have been playing Rangers. That would have been a laugh

Accrington of course.

If clubs start going under due to the ongoing situation, I would expect this to raise it's head again

Personally, I like the idea of a shake up. I would also invite Celtic and Rangers into the English Leagues if they want.

Regionalise leagues 1&2 into North and South, then have both and the Scottish premiership as feeders into the championship - not serious btw.

 

[mooro]

I actually think they'd do better to set up a cross border league for the top teams from countries with a similar make up with a couple of big clubs dominating (eg Belgium, Holland, er Germany)

 

[MalaysiaYellow]

Why?

Why what? Change things, reinvigorate

I'm sure National League North would be happy to accommodate them.

Are you actually a football fan? Did you watch Oxford before you went to work abroad?

Yes, watched before I left in 2006 and returned to watch a few games. Ever since have watched football in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia.

Hearts to mount legal challenge over Scottish Premiership relegation

Hearts will mount a legal challenge against their relegation after clubs fail to back league reconstruction.

www.bbc.co.uk

The status quo remains and Hearts to mount a legal challenge.

 

[Wallop]

I see that there is a Celtic B and Rangers B in the Lowland League this year. Is this the slowly, slowly approach taking shape?
