Celtic and Rangers wouldn't ever be in the Championship. Why not? For the simple reason the backlash that would be generated over two teams being parachuted in. Neither would want to start at the absolute bottom of the pyramid and spend years working their way up. Plenty of teams wouldn't want their fans anywhere near them tbh.
The Old Firm killed any competition. The SPL would be more competitive and I dare say interesting as a genuine sporting contest if both Celtic and Rangers failed to exist.
