Rangers can take a 10 point penalty and still finish second!
BBC Radio 5 Live were suggesting that Celtic could come begging to the Championship - but I cant see anyone letting them in.

What is the fascination with Celtic (or Rangers in the past) and them playing south of the border????
They make it quite clear they hate us English, the Scottish people seem to be heading for a vote to break the Union up so why do they want anything to do with us including their football teams.
Obviously it is the money, but what would the long term implications be for the national teams etc. How could you have a Scottish national team, yet one of their domestic teams playing in the English league?

To lose 5-1 at home to anyone is bad enough but to be humiliated by your arch rivals is just unacceptable.Mick McCarthy came to Wolves at a desperate time and did a good job, but he's not a premier league manager, he could have been sacked at any time in the last 18 months but the board have been very loyal.I've no idea what Bruce or god forbid Warnock can do with the same bunch of players who to be brutally honest are mainly championship players.
Wolves expectations? Easy, to be an established Premier league club. The likes of Stoke, Fulham and Sunderland seem to do enough each season to keep their status.

Well there isn't I don't think, other than in the heads of the bosses of Celtic (and Rangers).
They would love to join the English league to make some money. But, as you say, they won't be able to.
I don't believe EUFA would let the Scottish teams into the English League and allow separate national teams.
There is no fascination with them playing south of the border - just a sudden realisation they will go bust in a no-bit second rate league and they see all the riches just over the border
Can't see why not, there are Welsh teams in the English league.

Just thought I would chip in here but what riches do you refer too? As far as I can see the EPL is a 3 possibly 4 team league where anyone of those teams could win the league the rest are hanging onto their coat tails more or less sitting in mid table mediocrity. Do you think for one minute that the EPL is immune to a club going into admin?? It will happen and it might just be a big club at that! Up here the two Glasgow clubs of more or less starved the rest with the greed from TV money, SKY will never invest huge sums of money like they do down south but does that necessarily mean a bad thing? Rangers and Celtic have through the years destroyed through their own greed the league set-up, up here along with those other clubs pandering to their needs just for a wee slice of the cake. Just don`t think for a moment that its all great in the EPL there are some clubs down their for whom it could all go pete tong very easily!!

Rangers and Celtic would struggle to get out of The Championship, let alone survive in the Premiership. The clubs would be against them joining anyway, they're not going to vote for two of their own to be ousted from the league just so the Old Firm can muscle in. Major objections have also been raised by the police when the issue has been mooted in the past, they do not want the almost certain aggro.They would love to join the English league to make some money. But, as you say, they won't be able to.
