Old Firm going nowhere - SPL chief
Scottish Premier League chief executive Neil Doncaster remains steadfast in his view that Rangers and Celtic will not be leaving for England.[LNB] Celtic's largest shareholder Dermot Desmond recently suggested the influence media organisations wield would lead to the Old Firm eventually joining England's Premier League.[LNB]But last year, Premier League clubs voted to reject a proposal to invite Rangers and Celtic into the English top flight.[LNB]And Doncaster was adamant again on Wednesday that the clubs would be staying in the Scottish Premier League.[LNB]He told Sky Sports News: "We all have dreams for our clubs but I prefer to live in the day-to-day reality of where we are.[LNB]"Rangers and Celtic are an important part of what we've got in the SPL and I foresee them being here for the foreseeable future.[LNB]"They are Scottish clubs and they're in the SPL. I've got to deal with the reality of what faces me on a day-to-day basis, which is improving the environment as best I can for all Scottish clubs and that includes Rangers and Celtic.[LNB]"They are a fundamental part of Scottish football and I foresee that being the case ad infinitum."
