Old Firm switch unlikely - Aitlen

Aston Villa number two Roy Aitken admits he would love to see Scotland’s Old Firm pitched into week-in, week-out battle with the Premiership’s big guns.

On the day that Celtic chairman Dermot Desmond renewed his calls for his club and Glasgow rivals Rangers to be given a chance to prove themselves in England’s top flight, former Bhoys midfielder Aitken maintained that they would thrive, although acknowledged that their chances of doing so may be small.
