No no and no.
This should never ever happen just because a nations league is more lucrative doesn't mean they can suddenly jump ship. You don't see Porto or Braga sayin we want to play in La Liga for more money.
If they want a better league get their own league sorted rather than just jumping ship.

also, this would defintely re open the debate of why the home nations dont play as one system, and one national side, something that we all definitely dont want.

Yeah it would open can of worms because teams like Hearts and Kilmarnock could start saying well we want to join the Championship and could spiral all the way down the leagues
Nver....shoudl not happen,this will cause a **** lot of debates and problems on more and more topics which would get opened up if this happens, and if this does happen, the Scottish League System will be completely dissolve..once they go a lot of other Scottish teams will want to get a slice of the pie which will lead to decreased revenue..more matches which will cause fatigue to players due to the addition of these teams

They would have to enter League 2 probably and Old Firm fans won't stand for not being in the top league for three years.
If they left the SPL would fall apart, and the Prem team as said abouve would never vote them into the Prem.
However I also believe thay will end up in England some point down the line, in twenty yeras or so.

Meh, the debate arises every few months. It won't happen. The EPL's of too low a standard.

Exactly
Forget the Big Four, it'd be the Scottish Two!no, kilmarnock will be happy they wouldnt be under threat of relegation, and hearts will be happy that they might be actually able to win something. the only thing that they won't be happy about is the amount of money they gain from old firm matches. last year teams were complaining about the amount of old firm games some of them got, because of the split system. if rangers and celtic leave, the spl with die

Yes but then Scottish football would be absolutely screwed with no financial backing and no fan base as most clubs only get a decent attendance against the old firm.
Because the difference is even greater.
Imagine Cardiff and Swansea. They'd pwn that league.
if cardiff, swansea and wrexham were forced to play in wales the the welsh premier would gain a larger fan base due to these massive clubs - works both ways
