If all the SPL clubs had the balls to drop 8 games from the fixture calender (or in some clubs cases drop two games against the auld firm) then it would be a more entertaining and less repetitive league being 16 teams with 30 games a season.
This doesnt clog up the fixture list throughtout the season and like argued on here numerous times over the years it would allow the CIS cup to be played on a Saturday. 30 games still qualifies in terms of what UEFA are looking for in a domestic league schedule.
The other two leagues would consist of 16 and 10. Less leagues and less yo-yoing back and forth for some clubs (Partick Thistle for instance). Maybe even allow two for the drop and up from all leagues would make it exciting.
This would never happen with the voting system and arrogance of the SPL clubs however.

I will continue to dream of a stronger Scottish footballing tiered system like this though.
Unless you can turn round and replace the lost income from 4 home games against Hearts, Aberdeen, Rangers & Celtic (which is about a million quid for Hibs) it can't be done.
