I'll beg to differ re that insinuation Fredster! I strongly believe the Swiss-Austrian League model will be adopted by the SFA/SPFL for season 2016-17 and the main reason for this proposal's endorsement is all relative to the fans' views set out in the SFA questionnaires - nothing to do with Rangers fortunes whatsoever. Besides, Rangers FC will be demoted from Premiership involvement and will be placed bottom of the Championship by default - watch this space, they are not out of the woods financially as many of their protagonists like to suggest! It became apparent in the questionnaires over a year ago that there was not enough interest or entertainment being generated in the Scottish football leagues and that view has been acknowledged by the footie authorities with definite and significant action being promised after a consultation study of practises in other football leagues of a similar size and demography. I DON'T BELIEVE THE SFA CARRIED OUT SUCH AN EXTENSIVE FANS' CONSULTATION EXERCISE ONLY TO DO NOTHING!! TO THE DETRACTORS WHO BELIEVE IT'S A BAIL OUT FOR HIBS, IT AINT GONNA HAPPEN ETC ETC, I'D JUST COMMENT THAT THE FANS' CONSULTATION EXISTS AND THE RESULTS WERE COMPILED A LONG TIME AGO. ALSO HIBS WOULD NOT BE THE ONLY BENEFICIARIES - SO BOO TO THAT NARROW COMMENT!! Even the resurrection of that insidious OF fixture being regularly played would never be enough in the eyes of most Scottish football fans - we'd still be entrenched in old ways and old practises! Indeed, I'd go further in demanding that a possible OF fixture be hunted down with strict and draconian enforcement forced through by the Scottish government!!! IMO our game is changing for the better and for decent Scottish footie fans. I don't apply the same view to any future OF fixtures!!!! 
This fixture is one of the vilest matches in world football and it's high time the issues surrounding this horrible confrontation were finally tackled with a toughness and level of intolerance that will force the main antagonists into submission or removal FOR THE GOOD OF THE GAME!!
