Oh I agree, it was just a "what if?" Scenario

I wouldnt be counting that last title as a proper title, not until they are back into the top division will they count.
not sure how it works legally though.

Amazing. 54 top flight titles you say and not 1 European Cup. Not sure there is a club in Europe who can lay claim to so many titles and not at a minimum reach one EC final.

Tainted titles - who would have thunk a "celtic" fan could come out with that particular phrase ... btw enjoy another tainted title when it comes your way wee fella.
Congratulations to Rangers on winning the Third Division and securing promotion next season to the....Third Division
I do think that any plans for restructing should start the season after next season, to allow one full season of every club knowing what they are actually playing for at the start of it.
If the league restructure goes ahead for next season this season has been pointless.
At least if it goes ahead for the season after, next season can be interesting with a one off format for the restructing of the SPL and SFL.

Absolutely. It is now far too late to reorganise for next season, because decisions would be getting made on how they put teams into the new format, whilst aware of existing finishing positions or likely finishing positions.
For instance, if we move to 12-12-18, I would allow the team finishing top of the existing 3rd division a play-off opportunity into the new middle division or what's the point of winning the 3rd division ( an actual good point made by Chuckles for once ). But if you announced this for a next season reorganisation, it is too politicised because we already know who the 3rd division champions are.
All common sense says decide on the reorganisation format and introduce it for season 14/15 so the teams next season know what they are playing for....but this being Scottish football..

I suggested this as a format:
Something like this:
Match 1: Playoff winners Division 3 v 7th Division 2
Match 2: Champions Division 3 v 8th Division 2
Match 3: Winners Match 1 v 5th Division 2
Match 4: Winners Match 2 v 6th Division 2
Match 5: Winners Match 3 v 4th Division 2
Match 6: Winners Match 4 v 3rd Division 2
Match 7: Winners match 5 v 2nd Division 2
Match 8: Winners Match 6 v 10th Division 1
It gives the teams in division 3, teams in division 2, even the team relegated from division 1 a chance to get into the championship.

Hmm, it's late, I've had a few drinks and my head already hurts. So I don't think now is quite the time for me to consider this one further, other than that looks err interesting

Poor Bazza doesn't understand the difference between the 3rd Division and the 3rd tier.

Why should teams in the current Third Division (fourth tier) get a shot at promotion to the Championship (second tier)?
The rulebook for 12-12-18 is in place as it's been worked on for months.
Everything is ready, delaying for a year wont change anything apart for those currently in SFL1 losing out on tens of thousands of extra prize money.
It seems David Longmuir is now against the plan he helped put forward which has caused the lower league clubs to change their mind. Question is why? What has changed in the last 8 weeks?

If the new league system does get the go ahead will there still be promotion/relegation from premier league/division 1?

It'll work as a sort-of mid-season play-off league.
Teams in the SPL and Championship play each other twice (within their respective 12s, natch). The bottom-4 from the SPL then join with the top-4 of the Championship, with the new combined league playing each other twice.
The respective top and bottom 8s then play for the SPL title and to avoid relegation to the "national league".

Ok, I think I'll have to read it a few times to understand it
