It is not the place of government to interfere with the way football is played in our country, but with such an important national institution affecting millions of our people, can we not ask about the suppression of two colossal football clubs in our country that should be playing other colossal clubs in the UK just as Welsh clubs do.

​

We should also be giving opportunity for other clubs to grow like Aberdeen and compete too at a higher level than at the present.

​

Strathearn Strategic Consulting provide us with some statistics:

​

At a glance

• For the financial year ending 2018 the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) generated revenues of £37.2 million, up 7% from the year before, while the English Premier League generated £3.18 billion in revenue

• Celtic’s turnover, £101.6 million, was more than the other 11 Scottish Premiership clubs put together and almost 3 times higher than the SPFL league revenues

• In the 2017/18 season the lowest earning EPL team (West Bromwich Albion) earned £23 million more in revenue than the highest earning SPFL team (Celtic) and £92 million more than the second highest earning team (Rangers)

​

We can only make suggestions to football authorities but what is worth more and of greater interest:

CELTIC v LIVERPOOL or CELTIC v ST MIRREN?

​

It is the policy of the Scottish Heritage Party to ask questions only, not to legislate, but surely it does not take a lot of working out to say that our great Scottish clubs deserve better, and surely being an equal partner in the UK should mean equal access to revenues, so if the Welsh can enter the Premier League, then why not Scotland with its potentially much bigger clubs?
