Scotsman and Celtic fan Crozier was viewed as a sympathetic ear within England's hierarchy but left his post last week as it became clear that the Premiership clubs had won the power battle with their national association. And McClelland believes that there is no chance of clubs battling for their own Premiership survival voting to allow Celtic and Rangers to move from the Scottish Premier League. "There is nothing more that can be done to further our case," he said.
"When Adam Crozier resigned last week, our last chance of relocating in England went with him," said McClelland. "He left his job because the Premiership clubs want to run the game down south. "If they are to be given control of their own destiny - and the clubs in that league have already voted overwhelmingly in favour of not admitting the Old Firm - then there is even less chance of agreement to admit the Old Firm to the Premiership at the expense of two other clubs." | |
