Rangers were back in talks over entering B teams into lower divisions and Collins is adamant it's the best way to produce players for the national team.
He said: "I want Scotland to get to finals year in, year out. And how are they going to get to finals? By developing more elite, young Scottish football players so the national manager has more to pick from, whether they're Celtic, Rangers, Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen. "Scottish clubs are full of young Scottish players.
That's the point I'm making and why I want B teams."For me, the smaller clubs - which I've played at - are important to their communities but not vital to developing elite youth players that are going to play for Scotland."They're blocking it.
