Celtic and Rangers could be boosted by Super League as project chief says ‘big clubs in small leagues’ at the heart of revamp plans

Celtic and Rangers could benefit from the latest European Super League proposal according to A22 chief executive Bernd Reichart.

A22 is a sports management company backed by giants Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus, who were part of the 12 teams who attempted to set up the Super League around 18 months ago. The original plans laid out were hit with mass backlash with A22 forced to go back to the drawing board. And Reichart believes both Glasgow giants have the condition to be among the continents elite club's and acknowledges that a new agenda should include helping out "big club's in small leagues".

He told PA: “Analysing the situation of the Scottish top clubs, the situation they’re in is quite comparable to other European leagues where domestic revenues are not sufficient to grant competitiveness on the bigger European stage, although they have every condition to be one of the big European clubs – football tradition, modern stadia, passionate fan base, historic track record and trophies. What can change for big clubs in small leagues was one of the essential assessments we did over the course of the last six months.”
