The problem with the Scottish League is not so much with the format but the standard of play with in it.

Other countries and other sport manage fine with a 10/12 team top flight like the Swiss Super League and Super League in Rugby League.

I think the biggest problem is the Glasgow Element that makes the Scottish Premier League dull and boring and drags it down to its negative element.

What I am saying is it is not what you have but what you do with it that matters.

The inclusion of since 2004 of Inverness and Gretna have made the Scottish Premier League more interesting despite having the same format and number of teams as before 2004.

Make the SPL bright.

An example is that using the same format when some countries stage say the Euroepan championships in Football country A get bigger attendances than country B depsite using the same product.

Complicated but I hope I have exaplined it so you understand.

The only reason that I want Hearts and Hibs too merge is so that a place in the SPL can be freed up so that a team from another Area can get a place i the SPL in order to freshen up and enhance the SPL.
