I see it is being reported that Celtic are interested in setting up a franchise in the usa second tier, which is expanding from 11 to 20 teams .

If there is truth to this then you would assume Boston has to be the starting point. I hope so.

Makes sense and might be a way to finally move leagues. If the growth of soccer in USA continues not only the Mls but the nsl will be bigger than the spfl
A franchise near Texas or North Carolina could see a following of expats
I'm surprised we ain't exploited the Arabs a glamour tie out there around January would generate interest I reckon
Even a 4 team mini tournament would be good over the winter period.

It's a cracking idea, I heard Asia too. Go and get it done then, instead of the usual talking about it!
