Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has joined those calling for Rangers to leave the SPL and join the Premier League.
Speaking ahead of the proposal to introduce a two-tiered English top flight, which would include the Gers and Celtic, Redknapp has given his backing to the inclusion of the Old Firm.
The former Portsmouth manager believes that the English game would benefit from including the big two from Scotland in a re-formatted Premier League.
"Absolutely, I would welcome Celtic and Rangers to English football if they wanted to play down here. No doubt about it. I'm sure they would be good for the English game," Redknapp told the Daily Record.
"We are talking about two huge football clubs and if they were to join our league you would be looking at great games in great stadiums. I was up in Scotland only a couple of months ago to watch Celtic play Arsenal in the Champions League qualifiers and the atmosphere was out of this world. It was incredible and I'd love to see games like that on a more regular basis."
