You make some very good points there, but I think -historically speaking- the divide between England and Scotland is too wide to ever be united merely by sport.
yep
its a hate that goes back years and years and we who live in the north of england think there is a north and south divide ?? well in scotland its them vs the whole of england divide the UK is a crazy island for such a small place and having the Welsh Scottish English all together under the umbrella of the UK you think football would be all linked and the biggest teams playing in the premier league ???
but Uefa and Fifa don't like the umbrella of the UK and it would means losing all 3 of the nationals teams but they let the Welsh teams play in the english leagues ??? so why not celtic and rangers ??? but for me its the Scottish game that needs help and sorting out not the 2 big clubs and like i said why not invite some of the north and northeast teams into there leagues sunderland and newcastle would be champions in the making and would be in european football every season
even have a british cup and teams from the premier league top 8 play the top 8 Scottish teams and leave the league cup to the rest of the premier league and lower leagues
