Kieran Maguire makes Rangers and Celtic claim after Super League talks - ‘matches will be sell-outs'

There is 'zero chance' that Rangers and Celtic would be prioritised alongside the European elite if they joined the Super League proposals.

That is the view of finance expert Kieran Maguire, who exclusively told Football Insider that Scottish clubs would not receive the same 'top dollar' as other clubs from a proposed Super League.

As reported by the Daily Mail, A22 Chief Executive Bernd Reichart has confirmed talks have been held with the two Scottish giants about the prospect of joining a new European Super League.

Reichart claimed "domestic kings in lesser leagues" would benefit from joining the revised proposals for a super league, which now includes between 60-80 European teams across multiple divisions.

Rangers and Celtic have been informed that the proposal would include a minimum of 14 midweek European games, which would supposedly provide a significant financial boost.

However, Maguire has questioned the finances of the proposal and how it will be spread among the multiple divisions, with Rangers and Celtic unlikely to be invited to the top tier.

"Bernd Reichart is a salesman and he is trying to woo those clubs in the mid-tier of football by trying to offer them some form of guaranteed return," Maguire told Football Insider.

"But the more you look into the A22 proposals, it’s actually to create a European league.

"The main question is about where the money is going to be focused.

"If there are multiple divisions in this European league, there is zero chance that Rangers and Celtic will be in the top tier.

"They will be in the lower tiers and that will rob them of the top dollar being promised.

"They would of course sell-out matches as they already do, but their opposition wouldn’t be the top European clubs as they would be in the top division."
