Lawwell rules out reconstruction
Reconstruction suddenly re-appeared on the agenda during the summer after SFL clubs refused to give Sevco a place in the First Division.
SFA chief Stewart Regan predicted the slow lingering death of Scottish football as well as social unrest after his plan for Sevco was rejected by SFL clubs who granted Charles Green’s club a place in the Third Division.
Under the current set up Sevco won’t reach the top flight until the 2015/16 season with Lawwell seeing no prospect of that process being short circuited.
“I don’t see where that will come from,” Lawwell replied to the question of reconstruction.
“They are in the Third Division at the moment and it looks like it will take three or four years to get there.
“In my view, will Rangers get promoted each year? I believe they will be.
“Their resources are greater than any of the clubs they are up against and logically they will be back in the Premier League in four years.”
The formation of some sort of European league continues to surface from time to time with Lawwell open-minded to developments within UEFA.
“I think the way the world is changing,” he added. “The world’s got smaller, the strong appear to be getting stronger.
“In terms of media rights, the big nations are just growing and growing while smaller nations like ourselves, Holland and Belgium are being left behind financially.
“We recognise there are changes in the world. There are events that may occur, whether it’s through the media, or whether it’s through Uefa, that we need to keep tabs on and need to make sure that, if there is change, Celtic are part of that change.”
