Dermot Desmond, the Irish millionaire businessman and Celtic majority shareholder, believes the club's UEFA Cup final appearance could resurrect talk of a move to the Barclaycard Premiership.
The Old Firm have been constantly linked with a 'transfer' from the Bank of Scotland Premier League, and even held unofficial talks with the Nationwide League earlier this season.
Celtic have beaten Blackburn and Liverpool on the way to the final against Porto in Seville and Desmond believes the Old Firm are destined to move away from the SPL.
He said: "I understand the concerns of other Scottish Premier clubs. I think they can well be resolved.
"I understand the concerns of some of the English Premiership clubs. They can be resolved. Where there's a will, there's a way.
"We are not going to bombard English Premiership clubs and try to knock the door and get in.
"We would like to be invited. If we are not invited, then I don't think we will be playing there.
"But, if common-sense prevails, I think there will be an opportunity in the next couple of years that Celtic and Rangers could play in the Premiership."
