Sorry Honey Gee but you’re conflating your Scottish Leagues. The Scottish Professional Football Leagues (SPFL) consists of the Premier league, Championship, League 1, and League 2. Although it includes teams based in the Scottish Highlands it covers the whole of Scotland from the Highlands to the Lowlands and Borders.
There is a Scottish Highland League which is part of a fifth tier system rather like the English National League. The winners of the Highland League play the winners of the Lowland League to decide who gets into a playoff with the bottom team in League 2 with the winner securing their place in League 2 for the next season.
Hope that’s cleared up any confusion!
And this is one of the .reasons why I have been glued to a Crystal.PFC since moving to the UK from the US a year ago to be with my GB family and now living-loving my last chapter/s here (06/28/42)
My neighborhood is Croy Don, and full of wonderful, honest and helpful people like you, Sir.
Thank-you dearly from a rusty old Yankee, your explanation is better than anything I have read, although I am still not sure what part of the Scottish Highlands introduced soccer to the world.
I am guessing if today's opposition Wanderers cannot be demoted to the Scottish Highland Premiership because of jurisdiction and would have to seek re-election if it has been a number of years but would be allowed to play in the British Championship next season then.
In the US, a Championship is exactly that. You cannot get a higher division which is why your platform is so confusing and why many countries around the world today follow our lead in all aspects.
Although we see the British Countryreat as one of our own, like a baby little brother that most people haven't met.
Which. Is why I don't know why you guys confuse everything because the US view Scottish English Irish as. Coming from the same country. Or certainly the older generation do. Gt.Britain
Thank you once again, you are very kind, sir
