LONDON (Reuters) - England's Premier League clubs rejected a proposal to admit Scottish teams Rangers and Celtic into their competition on Thursday.

The proposal from Bolton Wanderers chairman Phil Gartside to allow the two Glasgow clubs -- collectively known as the Old Firm -- failed to gain the support of the necessary minimum of 14 of the 20 Premier League club chairmen.

In a statement, the Premier League said the proposal to admit Scotland's biggest two clubs was "neither desirable or viable".

However, another proposal from Gartside to have a two-tier Premier League will be considered by the League's strategic review committee which is due to report by the end of next year.

A two-tier Premiership is a fucking nightmare. These people are dense. If it aint broke' dont fix it. They'll kill their golden goose if they going fucking with the format.

Why does the chairman of one of the most hatest club in the premiership get so much airtime.

The media know he's always up for it and can be relied upon to fill empty space, whether on the air or in print. It's the squeaky wheel which gets the grease.

A two-tiered premier league is an absurd idea, but it is logical that the top leagues should include the whole of the country.
