Rangers assistant Neil McCann is in favour of expanding the Scottish Premiership, saying it would remove the "fear factor" and allow more opportunities for young players.
Talks have taken place at senior levels and an SPFL working group will explore options to alter the structure of the Premiership to a 10, 14 or 16-team division in an attempt to help reduce fixture congestion.
"'I've always liked the idea of a bigger league," said McCann.
"How that's configured is everybody's guess, but I think we've got teams that would enhance the top league.
"A lot of people say there's dead rubbers, but I believe you can always get something from that, whether it's introduction of young boys, whether it's more places up for grabs, a couple of relegation places and a play-off position.
"There's ways of trying to find the middle ground, but the most important thing, if it was bigger, I see it being more opportunity for young boys to be cut in because maybe it would take away a lot of the fear factor that exists right now."
