Not to mention CL will never be a guarantee considering how terrible the coefficient is right now. That won't change any time soon, SPL champs will always have to play in and that means it's a coinflip at best.
Our co-efficient was dropping this year as a result of how the OF have done in the CL and it won't be changing any time soon. We are in no danger of gaining any European places, but then we're not in danger of losing any more either. We're about as stable as they come in that regard.

With Rangers going the way they have I think it's got a lot of fans thinking that a move south should be what the club is pushing for now more than ever but I'm just not sure what more the club can do.

This old chestnut again. They really are two cheeks of the same proverbial arse. Scottish football has a real opportunity here to put to rights the financial disparity that has made the league boring and unappealling to anyone other than prot/cath bigots for years now. If Celtic choose to pursue football elsewhere(which is ridiculous in itself and has already received the thumbs down from English clubs) then it proves they are no better than the hun money men at the SFA/SPL who are trying to shoehorn Sevco back in with as little fuss and punishment as possible.
This could be amazing, having a real chance to win for all of the so called small clubs could see fans back in numbers. I know Aberdeen on the basis of Stewart Milne's position have sold more season tickets than they have for the last five years, and with 4 weeks still to go until the start of the season.
Everyone at the top is sad to see the huns die, not least their green sided bedfellows, but for the rest of us it's a chance to restore some much needed dignity to the league. Even if it is tough the short term, which of course remains to be seen.
