Old Firm next season? (06/05/02)


The Old Firm have apparently held secret talks about joining the Nationwide League - and the move south may happen as early as next season.

With the other 10 clubs in the Scottish Premier League saying they're off to form their own league without them, it has speeded up Celtic and Rangers drive to get into the English leagues.

The collapse of the ITV deal has also meant that the Football League are more than a little enthusiastic to get the two Old Firm teams down here asap to attract more money into the game.

According to reports, Dermot Desmond, the wealthy financier who is a major shareholder in Celtic, held two hours of talks in London on Thursday with Keith Harris, the Football League chairman who is keen on Celtic and Rangers moving south.

Could City be playing Celtic and Rangers in the league next season?

One of the obstacles will be UEFA, who are worried that the move may open the door for other cross-border switches, thus harming the reputation of international football.
