If we had a Celtic Club Cup it could be played over a populated region of 20 million people.
Scotland, Wales, Brittany, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and Cornwall adds up to large population.
There are massive sides and sleeping giants within these regions. I think a Celtic Club Cup would be really popular and could grow as an idea.
The trophy would be played on top of the domestic leagues and European football.
It would in my view have all the Scottish Premier sides, plus all the big Welsh sides Cardiff City, Swansea City, Wrexham and Newport County.
Plus selected sides from the Welsh Premier, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Plus all the top sides in Brittany. And a side or two from Cornwall and the Isle of Man.
It would be a fun trophy, with big sides such as Aberdeen, Glasgow Rangers, Glasgow Celtic, Dundee United, Hibernian, Heart of Midlothian, and Motherwell.
It would be a fun trophy with beautiful cities, town, and landscapes to see while travelling up and down the Celtic lands.
If the rugby union club teams of Italy, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and South Africa can have a cross border league, then why can't the football system have a Celtic Club Cup?
Imagine games like Rennes v Aberdeen, Glasgow Celtic v Cork City, Glasgow Rangers v Linfield, Dundee United v Wrexham, Cardiff City v Hibernian, Shamrock Rovers v Motherwell, and Heart of Midlothian v Newport County.
It would do no damage to Scottish football. But Scottish sides could increase the size of their advertising and TV market.
But it would help the smaller Celtic leagues grow massively.
The trophy could be a group stage trophy followed by a knockout round.
The final could be at one of the two finalist's stadia.
It would be a fun trophy in terms of improving Celtic soccer.
