The notion that tv money revenue would drop if OF left may not be as bad as some imagine. Correct me if I’m wrong but do the uglies not get 40% of existing deal between them with remaining 60% split between everyone else? My preference would be they stayed but to restructure / start again with top two divisions of 12 teams splitting 8/8/8.. top 8 title/europe, bottom 4 and top four fighting it out for relegation/promotion, third 8 playing to avoid relegation from second tier. All points returned to zero when leagues split and play home and away for prizes. All prize money split evenly in each pot (top 8 teams prize money is the same no matter whether finish 1st or 8th.) And of course an equal division of tv money. I personally enjoy the bigger games and the bile the old firm spout is just a stick to bash them with and makes beating them all the sweeter. Hopefully we get some new investment and can be more competitive against them more regularly. The clubs should be thinking now how to revise the tv deal as the time to make changes is before the next one is negotiated.

I go to watch Hibs - I rarely who think maybe playing for the opposition unless it was Barca or Villa but the Old Firm players - zero interest.
Could even say I get more excited seeing an ex Hibs player come back than an old firm player.

Chance of Europe ever happening again would be near impossible.
We could lose the Edinburgh Derby.
Some crazy long away trips = cost.
Club costs would go up as players would need to stay over night before most away games.
Finally playing lower English tier to then get promoted would take several years to get us anywhere remotely close to a decent level. It would be harder to get out these leagues than we realise.

We may start a season with the prospect of promotion or relegation but by Christmas it would be clear how our season is going, and that may well be the tedium of meaningless mid-table matches.
And given how cut throat the Championship is down south, it would require a massive investment to make any difference to our prospects compared to what would make a difference up here.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I wouldn't reset the points entirely for the 8/8/8 but instead would start teams with one point for each win they had during the 12/12 against other teams in their 8/8/8.
I'd also keep higher prize money for higher placings, but without the big advantage to the top two places that we have at present.
Below the 12/12-8/8/8 I'd merge and regionalise the First and Second divisions to reduce travel costs. The winners of Division North and Division South get automatic promotion and the third promotion place goes to the winner of a play off following two 2nd vs 3rd semis.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Is it not the responsibility of the other teams to get better?

I understand how getting rid of the two mega spending teams will make Scottish football better.

No one is saying Scottish would be amazing if old firm left but it would be more enjoyable and less of a dead rubber every season.
Do folk genuinely enjoy games against them getting beat more often than not.
Ok the odd occasion we have a Boyle hatrick game which are brilliant but they are rare sadly.

As I say I don’t have the facts n figures … but would be worth considering. And of course finances aside, I’ve been once away to the home grounds of each of these two, fair few years ago, and vowed never to return to each after each game. And I haven’t. That means more than money ever will, in my view.
