How can Scottish teams can play more games? Simple! Limit the players to fewer games, without limiting the number of times the teams play.
Lots of football fans, say that there are too many games, and we need to cut down on the number of games that Scottish sides play. They say with the League, the two main cups, and European football. Plus internationals and friendlies, that players are playing too many games.
They say we should get rid of cups, to make way for the league.
But I have a simpler solution to the problem. Just limit the number of games that each individual player can play, so the teams are forced to play more players in more games, rather than using the same players. This would mean bigger squads, where more players get to play games.
It would mean a team like Glasgow Celtic would ration how which games their leading players play so that they can play in the important games. So the fringe squad players would get more games.

Obviously you would want to ensure that the Scottish international side still has the best players available, and that when Scottish teams play in Europe, they are represented by their best players. As you would not want Scotland or Scottish clubs to underperform when representing Scotland.
So the limitations would happen where the big sides would play fringe players in more league and domestic cup games.
So by doing this, more Scottish players would get games. We would be able to keep the cups, including the lower tier Scottish Challenge Cup, as well as the SFA Cup and League Cup.
But we would also be able to add more cups into the system. Such as a Celtic Cup, or a British Cup. Or adding more Scottish teams entering the cups in England, or Wales. It would mean more football, and more players getting games.
In the NBA teams play over 80 times a season. So football sides do not play that many games.
In the NHL teams play over 80 times a season.
In Major League Baseball, teams play over 150 games a season.
So it is not as if we are asking to fans too much for the number of games we play.
Fans would not attend every game. They would be selective about which games they play.
But this would simply mean teams rationing how many games each individual player plays in a season, while the actual club could play more games.
Meanwhile it would mean the clubs would have to fiancé to have big squads. The big sides might be able to do that easier, but on the other side of the coin the big sides would not play their star players in every game so could lose to the smaller teams more easily.
