Does it really matter?
Ignore Celtic and it's competitive. The Derbies are what makes the SPL anyway just as much as the table, the division of the teams is much more cultural than you get over here.
Celtic vs Rangers are obviously Catholic vs Protestant. To a lesser extent the same thing exists with Hibernian and Hearts, and Dundee United vs Dundee - although that's more Irish vs Scotish than Catholic vs Protestant.
