Of course, absolutely. Television has a far bigger say in the proceedings than a lot of people would imagine.[LNB]"A lot of things would have to happen for this to happen, lots of discussions.[LNB]"I, for one, am not going to say it is never going to happen.[LNB]"From Rangers' and Celtic's point of view it would be very encouraging. It is obviously a completely and utterly different market.[LNB]"If Rangers and Celtic could get involved in that, the financial side would be absolutely fantastic."[LNB]Premier League clubs overwhelmingly rejected proposals for the Old Firm to be involved in a two-tier competition in November 2009, when chief executive Richard Scudamore declared the idea a "non-starter".[LNB]
