Should we allow feeder teams in the Scottish League?

I think it would be interesting to have feeder teams in the Scottish League.
The big clubs like Celtic and Rangers and Aberdeen could easily play colt teams in the lower leagues, or even buy up a small part time side in the Scottish League. The big clubs could then use those clubs to develop young players.
Another idea would be the idea of foreign clubs buying up small Scottish clubs and using them as feeder clubs to develop young players from all over the world.
We could get French, USA, German, Spanish, English or Italy sides to buy small part time clubs in Scotland and use them to blood young players from all over the world.

The only problem is that some clubs may not work hard for themselves as they will just exist to help the parent club.
I would not want Aberdeen FC to be pure feeder club although they do have an arrangement with a USA side.
The problem is any good players would surely be immediately taken by the parent club. While only players not good enough for the parent club would play for the feeder club.
But it could allow the feeder club to get players that they would not be able to afford.
Plus the feeder club could get help financing their stadium or paying off debts, and get financial security.

It would also be great if some great players of the future started their careers playing in the Scottish League for a feeder side.
There could be a limit on the number of feeder teams in the League.

Thanks For Reading.
