Scottish football ....dead in the water

I grew up in the 70's watching Davie Cooper, jimmy Johnstone, Kenny Dalglish, graham souness etc and cannot believe that we no longer have talented kids especially when the Scottish youth team made the final stages of the last European championships. So what's wrong? Surely the short termism of the premier league in Scotland (joke) whereby the big 2 buy anyone half decent and then stick them in the reserves whilst journeymen fill the first team has got to be questioned. I have watched the big 2 embarass themselves for years playing european teams whose technical ability is light years above them and yet we persevere with the image of the 'plucky' scottish mentality. Croatia, Sweden and the Czech republic can all produce worthy teams without the resources we have so again it shows the limitation of either the coaching (probably) or the player's mental strength. I watched with disbelief at how rangers played with 10 men behind the ball for a whole season including a European final! ... Tell players to play like they are crap and soon they'll believe it. I would rather watch talented kids playing with skill than the dross dished out every week in the SPL. I don't watch it anymore....
