It’s an idea that was first discussed over ten years ago, but Rangers owner Craig Whyte has revived the idea of an Atlantic League. It would allow Rangers to boost revenues by playing top Dutch and Scandinavian sides. It could be a stand alone league with Rangers (and presumably Celtic) leaving the SPL or it could be a supplementary league, although in that case it’s doubtful if it would generate much revenue.

Whyte also talked about the idea of Rangers joining the Premier League, but that was voted down in 2009 by the Premiership clubs. Indeed, it has been suggested in the past that the top Scottish clubs should join the Championship and make their way up.
Whyte also confirmed that if Rangers lose their court case with Revenue and Customs, they could go into administration.
