Rangers and Celtic are reportedly in line for "bumper" windfalls to the tune of £30million as there are plans to alter the European Super League plans.

According to the Daily Mail [24 March], Bernd Reichart, chief executive of management company A22 - which is organising the new format, has already spoken with the two Glasgow clubs about this new proposal.

What their response was is still unknown as he claims to respect their decision to not pick any sides publically.

He said, "I talked to clubs from Scotland. But I must respect their confidentiality and will fulfil that. It is still the case that the whole system of UEFA is set up to control everything and I really hope that at some stage we will have another discussion about the future of European football."

Surely not?

This facade already took place in 2021 and it was quickly shot down with fans protesting the money and it was clear that their owners were in it for the cash.

Now, new plans are being drawn up with there being promotion and relegation and we can see the incentive for Rangers and Celtic.

The SPFL is not a money-making league in comparison to the Premier League which is why the gulf is only growing wider each season.

In a Super League, they will be entitled to the same broadcasting revenue and if there are all the top teams playing every week, the viewership will increase too which could bring in better sponsorship deals.

However, the British footballing system is true to its roots and a shake up of this nature is unlikely to go ahead, especially with the government stepping in to stop it last time around.

However, it's still something worth keeping an eye on as money makes people's heads turn and it could happen once again.
