The Danish U21 national coach, Morten Wieghorst, has a past in Scottish football where he played matches for Dundee FC and Celtic FC. Wieghorst expressed his view on how the Scottish league would look like without Glasgow Rangers.

The former Scottish champion ensured that the league will be able to carry on without Glasgow Rangers, but also said that it would not come so far:
"Rangers is an institution in Scottish football, and I believe that a solution is to be found. They are so influential in the history of Scottish football, and I just do not believe that they will be lost in the Scottish football world right now."
Wieghorst know that the future of the club right now is controlled by economic problems, but said that he could not imagine a situation without the club, as he continued:
"Rangers plays as vital a part in Scottish football as Celtic does so it is much hypothetical to talk about, but should it come so far [the league without Rangers], will the Old Firm matches, which is such a dominant part of Scottish football and an incredible derby, be missed by many."
Morten Wieghorst also believed that the rest of the SPL-clubs had their fingers crossed hoping for the survival of Rangers, as it is a great economical profit to be visited by the club.
 
Asked whether or not he believed that Celtic was dependent on the rivals from Glasgow Rangers, the former national player said:
"That is a matter of opinion. I am saying that the Old Firm matches are great clashes, and they are fantastic to participate in both as a player and fan. I read the other day that Celtic said they were not dependent on Rangers, and both clubs might say so, as they are both of significant size, but there is no doubt that the clashes between them would be missed if one of the two clubs disappeared."
Morten Wieghorst played 90 matches and scored 11 goals for Dundee FC, before transferring to Celtic FC where he scored 10 goals in 86 matches and became Scottish champion in 1998.
