The latest European Super League proposals could deal a hammerblow to Rangers and Celtic - with the financial divide between the Scottish Premiership and superclubs widened under the new ruleset.
Celtic and Rangers have long been on red alert for some time over the possible game-changing alteration of football in Europe, with reports previously suggesting the Glasgow giants had been invited to take place in the new set-up having both reached the Champions League group stage this term. However, The Telegraph now report a 32-team format could see a number of smaller divisions and clubs who don't regularly reach Europe's elite competition frozen out.
The report states that Premier League clubs have raised concerns that the FIFA Club World Cup will become a “European Super League by the back door” when it expands to a 32-team tournament in 2025. FIFA revealed plans to have 12 UEFA qualification places in the competition - but details are sparse over who will get a chance at qualification.
