Willie Miller has expressed serious doubts about Rangers' Colt team reconstruction plans and claimed now is not the right time to be introducing significant changes to the Scottish game.
The Ibrox club have proposed a 14-14-18 set-up that would see Celtic and themselves introduce under-21 teams to the professional game.
The big two would compensate the bottom clubs as part of the plan as well as guaranteeing 200 tickets sold for every away game at price of £15 each.But the plan is still thought to be unlikely to succeed with several clubs needing to be convinced that it is the long term solution to football's structural challenges.
