A British - French Soccer Club Cup.
I would support a club football cup taking part of teams from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, England, and France.
There is a big rivalry between teams from these nations. The distances to travel are not too big.
Yet there would still be great cross border games. It would be fun for national rivalry.
France and Britain have a strong historic connection in their histories.
My idea is that all Scottish Premier sides could take part. Plus selected sides from Wales and Northern Ireland.
The teams from England taking part could be the all English Premier League sides that have not qualified for Europe, or all the English Championship sides.
The sides from France taking part could be all the French Ligue 1 sides that have not qualified for Europe or all the French Ligue 2 sides.
This would be a fun cross border trophy to get top quality teams playing against each other.
It could be a group stage trophy or a knockout stage trophy.
The Scots would add top teams like Glasgow Celtic, Glasgow Rangers, and Aberdeen. The English and French would add some massive sides with great histories.
The trophy would need to end in a final. This could be at one of participating team's stadiums.
Imagine games like Aberdeen v Monaco, Glasgow Rangers v Nice, or Glasgow Celtic v Nantes.
