Celtic owner Desmond: Top Scottish clubs will enter British Premier League

Celtic's majority shareholder Dermot Desmond believes it is 'inevitable' that Celtic and Rangers will eventually join the Premier League.


Desmond believes the two Glasgow-based clubs are among the biggest in Britain and it would make sense for them to compete in Britain's premier football competition.

"I think it is inevitable there will be changes in football," Desmond told Sky Sports.

"We would like to compete in the holy grail in England because it would bring money into Scotland for players.

"It would bring big teams up to Scotland and rekindle the interest in soccer by having the United's and Arsenal's up here.

"Maybe it is going to be 10 years but I think it is inevitable. Rangers and Celtic are among the top 10 biggest teams in Britain, and among the biggest teams in the world, and they should be competing at the highest level."
