I think the problem is, it's been a two-horse race for so long that the resentment among other clubs was left to stew until it become the unadulterated venom directed at us last year and once Rangers became vulnerable, any chance to take them down was seized upon with reckless abandon without any real thought to the consequences for the Scottish game as a whole... Generally agreed by most as in dire need of a kick up the backside of some description. Surely what we needed to improve football in Scotland was more clubs with the capacity to do well rather than less? I mean, the relatively poor quality of our opposition could always be seen as a plus by some Rangers fans who were used to winning all the time; but playing against tougher home-grown opposition with the potential for a few more losses wouldn't shake my loyalty to the club. Whatever happened to "We welcome the chase?" One thing I will say though is that there's one thing which will absolutely guarantee Scottish Football will never get any better, and that's to dismiss and abandon it completely... I'd definitely rather not do that, I think it's quite sad that most of the people I speak to in England don't care about Scottish Football at all, but most Scottish football fans pay attention to the English leagues in some capacity, possibly to an even greater extent than the Scottish ones... What does that say about our pride in our own country and our desire to improve it?
