ian1964 10,720 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 CELTIC were last night celebrating as their dreams of a European league were given a huge boost. UEFA have allowed the Russian and Ukrainian leagues to merge. And SunSport understands the Hoops see this news as a hugely significant development for the clubs in favour of forming a European league. Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell said only last month that his club would be interested in a regionalisation of leagues. This could involve teams from Holland, Belgium and the Scandinavian nations. With the top leagues in Europe growing ever-stronger the Russians reckon unification is their only way to compete. CSKA Moscow president Evgeny Gliner said: â??We NEED to make it so thereâ??s fan interest, sponsor interest and TV interest.â? Talks will continue over the proposed merger, with Celtic and a host of clubs around Europe eager to see the outcome. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
