This - but I would tweak this so it splits 6-8. Top 6 has 36 games, bottom 8 has 40. Then you don't have teams sitting out a fixture for each set post-split.

Your tweak would lose the top 6 teams a home game from the present arrangement which for the Smellies would be a loss of at least 2 million quid and for Hibs half a million quid.

Only if they lowered ST prices - which they wouldn't.

I'd have:

3 points for a win
1 point for all draws, except the following....
10 points for a 2-2 scoreline


We'd be skooshing the league just now.

Then us the supporters would get screwed or become walk ups if those prices remained the same.

How about this for a reform to our the Scottish league? It’ll get shot down almost straight away from everyone saying that’s sh*t
But how about introducing two points for a win and no points for a draw. Combine that with an 18 team league playing each other twice. Two automatic relegation spots and the third bottom team in a playoff (one off game) against the 3rd placed team in the Championship. Reason? What we have now is boring 🥱

We’d definitely be relegated.

I'd favour a 14 team league. Teams play each other twice then the league splits and the teams in each half play each other twice giving a total of 38 games.

It won't happen simply because clubs can't afford to lose 2 games against the arse cheeks. The revenue from Hibs, hertz and Aberdeen's travelling support is important too.

I like either of these.

Let’s throw our lot in with Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland and set up a Viking League. Population around 40 million. A premier league and perhaps a Championship. Be good for the ferry business and cheap airlines too.
