Not for Celtic it won't!
If you look at any great sports team/player it is beating their closest rival that makes winning extra special. How exciting is the SPL going to be when Celtic are 30pts clear by Christmas?

They won't give a toss. Excitement? They'll be happy to win it and enjoy their rivals being in the Scottish version of the Blue Square Premier.If you look at any great sports team/player it is beating their closest rival that makes winning extra special.

I think Celtic will be one of the few to support Rangers.
I'd assume that most of the money comes from the Old Firm rivalry. Don't they have joint sponsorship agreements? Plus if they're running away with it all the time, TV interest will be lower and probably lead to lower revenues.
I'd guess that it's better for most of the other SPL clubs than it is for Celtic.
On the economic debate McCoist added: "It's the first time I have heard anyone from the SFA speak about the game in a financial sense but then we have the argument that is the financial aspect more important than the massive aspect of integrity and honesty of the Scottish game?
"They might want to put us in SFL1 with more sanctions - I don't know if that is the case.
"We have a transfer embargo hanging over us but how can I operate with a transfer embargo when I only have six players? It's impossible and it's just madness.
"I have in the region of six first team players at pre-season training right now, two of whom were regulars last season in the SPL.
"We need to bring in the region of 10, 12 or even 14 players. I reckon since January we have lost close to 21 players.
Rangers will play in Scottish div 3 next season.

Wow official? I did not expect this. I'm thinking serious repercussions to be expected.
why should they be a special case? was there a big out cry when Gretna went to the wall
How many people subscribed to Sky so they could watch Gretna?
as it stands at least Rangers will get two trips to Hampden this season
