The Scottish Premiership is considering restructuring to 10, 14, or 16 teams to alleviate fixture congestion, leading to discussions about the financial implications of such changes. Clubs currently split into a top and bottom six after 33 matches, but this model has been criticized for its limitations.

Managers and stakeholders suggest that revising the league's structure could better support smaller clubs and promote youth development.
