Hold that result? No chance!
The SFA's President, Rod Petrie, is of a mind to ask the SPFL to cancel the fixture list which comes immediately before Scotland's Euro 2020 play-off semi-final on March 26.
Good luck with that one, Rod.
On the weekend in question, Rangers are due to travel to Paisley to face St. Mirren while Celtic are at home to St. Johnstone.
It will be the penultimate round of fixtures before the split. In other words, not the time to be tinkering with a ticking bomb.
Any break in the championship race caused by the intervention of international football is now widely regarded as an irritating inconvenience.
A break that is un-scheduled is likely to be viewed as an even greater source of vexation.
Can you imagine what it will be like if Celtic and Rangers are, as they are at the moment, joined together in terms of league points and only separated by a single goal for the purposes of league table book keeping?
Tension would be unbearable and the reluctance to have momentum broken would be on a grand scale.
Particularly when you consider that the well intentioned idea of having a week long training camp is fundamentally flawed.
Three of the side who started the game against Cyprus on Saturday, David Marshall, Liam Palmer and John McGinn, won't be given time off by their club sides due to league commitments.
Two of the subs who came on in Nicosia, Oli Burke and Oli McBurnie, fall into the same boat.
Those who were forced to call off from the game in Cyprus due to mishap, Andrew Robertson, Kieran Tierney, Scott McTominay and Ryan Fraser, will be similarly indisposed when it comes to leave of absence from Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Bournemouth.
So what would be the point of it all if only SPFL players are able to turn up for additional squad work?
No point at all so far as I can see.
Rows between club and country are commonplace.
Petrie also stated at the weekend he would back Clarke over the implementation of the Five Day rule which prevents players from representing their club sides the weekend after they have withdrawn from international commitments.
But a self inflicted row over halting the progress of the most competitive championship for years is going out of your way to look for trouble.
It is, as Petrie rightly says, a win-win situation for everybody if Scotland qualify for Euro 2020.
There will be good money to be made from sponsorship and other revenue streams.
Likewise, the prospect of non-qualification for a tournament which will, in part, be staged at Hampden is generally acknowledged to be too distressing to contemplate.
The loss of prestige and self-esteem would be massive.
But would Celtic or Rangers be happy over the enforced re-scheduling of games that could be crucial?
I think I already know how the supporters of both clubs would feel about such a thing happening.
The idea of a training camp would, in an ideal world, be heralded as a great way to help Scotland prepare for such a momentous match as a play-off.
But we live in a wee world of our own up here.
There will be plenty of paying customers for whom the winning of the Premiership ttle this season is far more important than Scotland getting through to the finals of Euro 2020.
Anybody who wishes can now tut-tut and admonish those they would accuse of being narrow minded, but that is the truth of the matter.
The size of the crowd at Hampden tomorrow night for the final match in qualifying Group, against Kazakhstan, will reflect the national team's current standing in the opinion polls.
And there's no point in talking about school nights or any other explanation for non-attendance.
The national team currently struggles to get the interest of a large percentage of its would be supporter base.
The same people are, however, pawing the ground in wait for the return of league football this weekend.
You can always ask to postpone game thirty-two of the Premiership championship, Rod, but I think I know the answer you'll get.
