We Need A Play-Off To Decide The Scottish Premiership Champions.
I really think the Scottish Premiership title champions should be decided by a 4 team play-off, at the end of the season.
The play-offs should involve the top four sides.
With the top side in the regular season, playing the fourth placed side.
And the second placed regular season side playing the 3rd placed side.
With home advantage in the semi-finals, to the 1st and 2nd placed sides.
Then a final between the two semi-final winners.
The side in the final who finished higher in the regular season has home advantage.
Gate receipts would be shared by the top four sides.
This would attract TV, fan, and media interest.
Professional sport is funded largely by being entertainment.
It is not good entertainment for teams to win leagues by 10 or twenty points.
We need a guaranteed final day decider to decide the champions.

How Much Money Would A Scottish Premiership Title Play-Off Collect?
If there was a Scottish Premiership title game that was to decide the champions of the Scottish Premiership.
After perhaps 4 teams, in the semi-final, followed by a final.
With ratings of 1.4 million for the final, with 10 pounds pay per view, plus. That would raise 10.4 million pounds more revenue for the SPFL Scottish Premiership.
Plus perhaps 700,000 pounds extra earned on TV advertising for the TV company showing the final.
Plus the extra pay per view fees for the semi-finals. With perhaps combined ratings of 1 million for the semi-finals. That is another 10 million pounds to be shared between clubs. Plus the attendance revenues.
So the TV company and tax would take some of that. But there would still be a substantive amount of money for the SPFL from this extra revenue.

Scottish Premiership Play-Offs To Decide Title.
I go back to this idea. I think the Scottish Premiership men's title should be decided by play-offs involving the top 4 sides.
The Scottish Premiership regular season 1st placed side would play the fourth placed side, with home advantage to the top placed side.
In the other semi-final, the second placed side would play the 3rd placed side with home advantage to the second placed side.
Then the winners of those two games would play a final, at the home of the finalist who finished higher in the league.
This would get big TV audiences, and spark fan interest.
The recent Celtic v Hearts title decider got well over 1 million viewers.
Imagine if guaranteed there would be final day title deciders? Rather than the title being decided by February, or March. Every season would have a exciting final day decider.
It would massively boost interest in Scottish football, and increase TV revenue, allowing all Scottish clubs to bring in more top players to improve their results in Europe.
It could also leads to shock winners of the league. Which would be cool.
