Premier League chairmen are expected to delay discussing plans to include Celtic and Rangers in a new two-tier set-up until at least the summer.
Bolton chief Phil Gartside was set to put forward the proposal at Thursday's meeting of top-flight clubs but it has not been included on the agenda.
His plan is for a two-tier Premier League with 18 clubs in each division, among them the Old Firm. It is understood although Uefa are neutral about the proposal, the Football Association and Scottish FA would block such a move.
Meanwhile, MPs have called for rule changes to prevent the likes of the American owners of Manchester United and Liverpool saddling clubs with debts of hundreds of millions of pounds.
Parliamentary Football Group chairman Alan Keen MP said: 'We say before someone takes over they pass a test and should be financing the takeover on money they put in and not on debt.'
