Keep the Scottish League Cup

I think we should keep the Scottish League Cup. It is a great historical trophy in Scottish soccer. It has been going since the nineteen forties. It is a massively historical trophy. With some classic matches and finals. Such as Aberdeen 3 v 3 Rangers in 1987. 
I also feel the same way about the Scottish FA Cup, and Scottish Challenge Cup. 

We keep having some people claim all that matters is the League and Europe, and that we should get rid of the other cups. I accept that Europe and the League are the priorities. But if players are playing too many games, a solution to that problem is to have limits to how many games each individual player can play in the League. Everybody would be in the same boat. That opens them up to play more games in cups, and European football. 
In fact as I have said before we should have more cups, such as a cup with other teams of the British and Irish Isles. So Welsh, Scottish, English and Irish sides could play in games. 

Some people say get rid of the League Cup, and have a British Cup. Well why can't we do both a Scottish League Cup, and a British League Cup. 
Some will automatically say that is too many games, but as I have said before we solve the problem by limiting the number of games each player plays in the league. 

In basketball, the NBA teams play over 80 games a season. 
The NHL and Major League Baseball teams play over 150 competitive games a season. So other sports play more games than we do in football, We could do that by simply rationing how many games each player plays, rather than how many games the entire club plays a season. 

Thanks for reading my post. -
