Rangers leave Gretna at the Altar

I’m a fan of Aberdeen FC when it comes to football, but in European competitions I will gladly support any Scottish team which is playing as their success is going for Scottish football as a whole.

This is easy for me as a fan of a non-Old Firm side, Rangers fans can find it hard to wish Celtic well and vice versa however.  I find this rather stupid, but there you go.

Are Scotland the new Brazil?

What has happened to Scottish football lately?

We are used to being dismissed as pretty rubbish in recent years, but just lately there seems to have been a bit of a resurgence in form for both our domestic teams in Europe and also for the national team in the Euro 2008 qualifiers.

It doesn’t always follow that success for domestic clubs will lead on to success for the international side as there are so many foreign players now involved with the teams here (and unfortunately we can’t then use them to play for Scotland!).  Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is up to others to decide, but obviously something good has been happening behind the scenes to encourage homegrown talent which has now bourne fruit with Scotland’s international results in this campaign so far.
