Burnley’s Fletcher: Celtic and Rangers leaving Scotland would be a bad move
Submitted by Andrew Slevison on Fri, 11/13/2009 - 00:13
Burnley striker Steven Fletcher has agreed with the decision to reject the proposal for Scottish clubs Celtic and Rangers to join the English Premier League.
The former Hibernian man believes it would be a bad move for the Glasgow giants to leave Scottish football and is happy the Old Firm will remain in its current state in the Scottish Premier League.
"Everyone looks forward to playing the Old Firm sides so I think it would take a big part of that away," said the 22-year-old.
"I've played a lot of my football up there and I don't want to see that.
"I don't think they'd do badly if they came down but they're two Scottish teams and I think they should stay up there for the SPL's sake as well."
