Scottish football is stuck in an intractable mire. Rangers and Celtic dominate the money, support and trophies resulting in a deeply uncompetitive and roundly mocked league where no one else really need bother trying. For years Celtic and Rangers have been trying to join the English Premier League (depending on whether you are a cynic or an optimist the motive is either to get a share of the vast pot of TV money or to enjoy genuine competition). In his blog Chick Young counters the idea that the departure of the Old Firm would reinvigorate the Scottish League for the remaining clubs, fearing it could have the opposite effect.
