I know it's not Celtic related, but I would do away with the split. I don't know why it's done.
Ross County have to play 20 away matches against 18 at home, if they were relegated by a point they'd have every right to kick up a stink.
Also you could have a scenario where a team in sixth place could end up with more points than the team finishing third, if that were ever to happen, I wonder who would qualify for Europe.

{Ed007's Note - Spot on, Gerry the split's a farce and we should get shot of it.}

It's never really worked for me, someone always loses out n a can remember a few times where 7th has more points than 6th but it's because it makes us look like a mickey mouse league that I hate it. It's a daft gimmick that should never have seen the light of day. And it is celtic related mate, we need to take part in it every year.

Can't mind but was it not part of a better tv related £ deal to squeeze an extra game against them?

It makes us (even more of) a laughing stock and serves no real purpose, apart from guaranteeing half the clubs more money from Celtic fans. The bottom 6 are left to play out meaningless fixtures in front of a handful of folk, a wee boy up a tree, tow pigeons and a crisp poke.

I remember a few years ago when Hibs were in the spl. They lost 5 or 6 of their games before the split when they were sitting mid table. After the split and they were in bottom 6 they won most of their games Heard from a player it was deliberate as they knew if they were bottom 6 they would get more win bonuses. Seemed to work for them 😂.

Rglen8, pre split everyone played each other 4 times twice at home twice away so there is no extra game against them with the split, it was a way of extending the number of clubs in the league, while not increasing the number of games, we should extend the top league to 18 play each other twice, 34 games, finish the season end of April , players get month of and back for pre season training the 2 nd week of June to get them up to speed for the European qualifiers in the Third week of July , something must be done to get the likes of Aberdeen and the rest to pull there weight in Europe , it can't always be Celtic left to prop up the coefficient.

Haha you can't be serious about "Celtic propping up the coefficient"? Enlighten me as to what exactly Celtic have done for Scottish football in Europe over the last 3 or 4 years apart from a freak draw against man city (similar to Warsaw getting a freak draw at home to Madrid) and a draw away at man city against their reserves in a meaningless end of group game?

I'm not slating Celtic here, my point is Scottish football is where it is because of the money available to 6 or 7 bigger leagues in Europe. In the past big games for Celtic and rangers were champions league group games. Now though Celtics big games are the qualifiers.

Get through them then it's a case of take the money and run. While football is the way it is that won't change as it's impossible for Celtic and Scottish clubs to compete.
