Celtic majority shareholder Dermot Desmond has been speaking about the possibility of Scottish clubs playing in the same league as English clubs.
The billionaire believes that within 10 years time - due to the increasing power of clubs - we will see the institution of a 'British Premiership'.
Desmond told the Scottish Sun:
As far as developing other leagues, I think technology is going to change and evolve how football is sold in the future.
Before it was a monopoly with either terrestrial TV or satellite TV, now everybody has the ability to broadcast their results and performances.
In the future I think there will be different types of negotiations between teams and leagues that will evolve into more competitive leagues in the British Isles.
I’m taking a 10-year view, what we see in the English Premiership today I don’t think will be around in 10 years time, I think there will be a British Premiership.
I think it because like in Italy and in Spain you have the bigger clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid who negotiate their own football contracts because they are more advantageous.
I think that will happen in the UIK with Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal and then I think they will institute a change in the structure of the league.
