| Dermot Desmond thinks Celtic could go up against the likes of Liverpool in league matches |
CELTIC owner Dermot Desmond expects his side to be competing in a "British Premiership" within 10 years.
The Scottish giants have long been linked with joining the English football system along with fierce rivals Rangers.
It is something that has been dismissed by Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore but Desmond thinks the clubs could force his hand by forming a new division.
"In the future I think there will be different types of negotiations between teams and leagues that will evolve into more competitive leagues in the British Isles,” he told the Glasgow Evening Times.
"I’m taking a 10-year view, what we see in the English Premiership today I don’t think will be around in 10 years’ time, I think there will be a British Premiership.

| Desmond says English clubs will adopt a similar system of negotiating to Barcelona and Real Madrid |
"I think it because like in Italy and in Spain you have the bigger clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid who negotiate their own football contracts because they are more advantageous.
"I think that will happen in the UK with Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal and then I think they will institute a change in the structure of the league."
