Rangers chief executive Charles Green believes the old firm will be in English football within five years.
Green believes that under European law, Rangers and Celtic could not be stopped from leaving Scotland and joining English football, but he insists that he would not accept an invitation to play in the premier league or football league, he would like Rangers to work their way up from the conference level.
Green said: ‘Whether it is next week, because the English authorities change their mind, or in five to 10 years, Rangers and Celtic will leave Scotland. I would like to think within five years. I say to English clubs do not be afraid of the unknown. There will be cross-border leagues and that will change the face of European football. These doors are opening. I don’t want to go into the Premier League. It would be wrong. If the Premier League sent me an invite saying we could start next year, I would turn it down.’
He added: ‘I don’t want to go into the Football League. But what I do want to do is to start playing football in England, and knowing that if I win that league, I get promoted to the next one and the next one. And no one can stand there and say we can’t get promoted because you are a Scottish club.
