A proposal by Bolton chairman Phil Gartside to include Celtic and Rangers in a revamped Premier League set-up was rejected as not "desirable or viable," leaving the Glasgow giants to reconcile themselves with life in the SPL at least in the short-to-medium-term.[LNB]Doncaster is now looking for the Old Firm to concentrate their energies on helping take Scottish football forward.[LNB]"It is vital, for anyone who has the best interests of Scottish football at heart, that any change benefits the whole of Scottish football - and not just one or two interests within it," he told the SPL's website.[LNB]"We need to continue to develop, to be prepared to embrace new possibilities.[LNB]"But we need to do so without using self-interest as the only yardstick by which to measure the benefits of any change.[LNB]"There is an important job to do - to continue the work that has already been done within the SPL to reinvigorate Scottish football.[LNB]"To build commercial revenues for the benefit of all our clubs.[LNB]"To drive more money into the game so that our clubs can become more competitive within European competition.[LNB]"There is no doubt about it - together we are stronger.[LNB]"And having all 12 of our clubs fully focused on their future within Scottish football can only help the SPL carry out that role to in the most effective manner."[LNB][LNB]
