Rangers boss envisages SPL exit

Soccer:Rangers chief executive Martin Bain believes his club will move on from Scottish football within a decade.

And although Rangers would consider an English invitation, he sees a European league as a more likely scenario.

“I think there is going to be a fundamental change in football somewhere along the line,” Bain said.

“We have to be at the forefront of football in order to be invited to the party.

“If the Premier League or a lower league want us and the arithmetics are right, and it’s right for the club as a brand, then it’s something we will explore.”

Bain added: “There are a number of like-minded clubs like Rangers and Celtic throughout Europe - big, big clubs playing in smaller leagues - who are hamstrung by their environment.

“I think, as that groundswell grows, Uefa will take note of it and that will maybe lead to other things.”
