Inviting Irish Sides Into Scottish League

Inviting Irish Side Into Scottish League.
Would it help Irish soccer to invite one club from Dublin and one club from Belfast into the Scottish League? 
We would have to get permission from the Irish soccer authorities. 
But would two clubs from Ireland grow in the Scottish League from playing clubs like Glasgow Celtic, Glasgow Rangers, Aberdeen, Dundee United, Hibernian, Heart of Midlothian, Motherwell and Dundee. 
Travel would be tough. 
Also the Irish might be upset at losing big clubs from their leagues. 
Plus as a Scot it would be annoying when a non-Scottish side win the Scottish cups and Scottish leagues. But overall it would strengthen Scottish soccer. As it would add to the market of Scottish soccer. And it could allow the Northern Irish and Republic of Ireland to have big clubs which could help develop Irish players, with expensive youth systems in their clubs. 
The Republic of Ireland are needing funding for their football system. If a big club in Dublin played in the Scottish leagues then they could find youth systems in Ireland. The same for Northern Ireland. 
It could be fun. 
There was talk a few decades ago about Clydebank FC of Scotland moving to Dublin, Ireland. 
Thanks.
