A new-look European Super League could have major benefits for the Old Firm, according to the chief executive of the project.

Plans are being developed for a new, open-access continental competition by A22, a company which also promoted the hugely controversial version of the Super League which launched briefly before collapsing in April 2021.

A22 and its chief executive Bernd Reichart have spoken to nearly 50 European clubs and stakeholders to develop 10 principles which underpin its plans for a new competition. "We present the preliminary results of the first phase of our dialogue which has been honest, direct and constructive […] We have distilled the consistent feedback into ten principles, which should set the framework for a future European club competition”, states Bernd Reichart.
