It would just go on the same, the Welsh and Irish leagues manage ok. People would just go to their local team.\nScottish football might actually get a boost!

I know Frank McAvennie played for St Mirren. I would ask a Scotsman but I canna understand it.

I think people have misunderstood your question, realitly check you dont have to be scottish to play for a scottish team. not sure how many but it is a shame they didnt qualify.

None actually, more players moved later on to the premiership, the first player was a scottish player, dont recall his name.

tough one.\nThe money paid to the so called "top players" is out of all proportion.\nYou cannot  put the fire or the hunger back unless they are hungry. \nIn the UK, there are too many overseas players (bought to ensure the success of the big clubs) and not enough good young British players get the chance to come through. It's a CATCH 22, they don't get the experience & they can't get picked without proving their ability.\nYou are right about the achilles heel - it's gone too far at this stage.\nYou need really good leadership that can create a hunger for success, England didn't have it with Sven, Chelsea & United have had it in recent years. Can Steve McClaren create the desire for success with the English team - where money is secondary to cash? Perhaps.

First of all congratulations to Walter and the boys for giving us Scots something to be proud of.. bring on Japan and lets win something. \nBut to answer your question we need to take a min and look at the players that were not there (Marshall, Maloney, Gordon etc) and i must say YES Walter smith has us going in the write direction with a team minus a lot of Scotland squad players his tactics were magnificent the commitment pride and team work which was a rarity under the Germany that shall not be named was just out of this world.\n\nThank you the SFA for doing something correct for once in your life's giving a nation a manager that is starting to repair Scotland's reputation in the eyes of FIFA.

You are entitled to your opinion but there are plenty of Scottish football fans who feel otherwise. The Scottish Premier League is a competitive professional league just as the leagues in many other countries. If you paid any attention to the standings this season you would see that Hearts is actually ahead of Rangers in second place. It's not much different than the Arsenal, Man U and Liverpool domination of the English Premier League. It has only been in the last two years that Chelsea has come to power after its Russian oil millionaire owner basically bought the League title.

Answer you're probably after is Bill Shankley - managed both teams... where the previous respondent gets 'all from Liverpool' from I'm not sure - Grimsby's the other side of the country from Liverpool!

The stadium is not down to them but the farce of getting a manager is.I fear that now they have had their nose bloodied by big phil they will take the cowards way out and go for Mclaren which will be a disaster.I believe they where right to go for Big phil as his record speaks for itself (which knowing our luck will result in Portugal kicking us out of another major cup).Now he has turned us down we should go for O'Neill or Big Sam at Bolton as these two have a bit of passion about them.McLaren would just be a FA puppet and would lead England once again into the wilderness.F.A IF YOU CAN DO NOTHING ELSE RIGHT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT APOINT ANOTHER NO-MARK MANAGER.GET SOMEONE WITH PASSION.

Yes, and the league, Scottish cup, and also the league cup just to clean up properly. The Le Guen revolution is about to start I mean lets face it, Celtic aren't even that great, Hearts are 1 season wonders (at best) so I can see the bears doing the quadruple next season. "We are the people!"

You can get them off Club websites,obviously they charge you but not as much as e-bay would charge you.Alternatively turn up at the teams training ground,you might catch security in a good mood.Good luck against Liverpool in Cardiff by the way.

Hearts of Midlothian, no doubt about it. They finished 2nd in Scottish Premier League last year, ahead of Glasgow Rangers. Now that they have been bought by a Lithuanian they really may be challengers for the title in one or two years.

I am a Rangers fan and love going to weekly game too see them.  Especially old firm games (no where in the world has an atmosphere anyting like it before and after- a lot of my english friends whosupport Man U and Chelsea who have been to an Old Firm have never experienced anything like this) though usually there is a murder after the game in and around glasgow.  My Boyfriend a Celtic fan and took me to Parkehead for a game against Hibs, and it was nothing like going to ibrox. Though I am being a bit Biased there.  I have also been down to Tottenham and Newcastle games in Rangers testimonials.  Good but not as good as home

This will depend on the world famous at nothing SFA forward thinking for once in their life's, France over 20 years ago started youth initiatives which blossomed into a European and world cup winning nation, tho Scotland may not reach those heights as a nation Scotland should be expected to reach European and world cups on a regular basis, if only the Scotland football club could perform on the pitch as well as the tartan army fans have performed of it.

well 5 years ago i taught about that myself and went about it . im over here in ireland and was determined to start a sunday league team with a friend of mine and develop a club so nearly six years on we are still going let me tell you now it is a lot of hard work and a lot of shit  you have to be fully committed to the cause and stick by it and when you get big people want to take what you have created so think long and hard about it .  what country are you in. check with your fa or local league and work from there if its like here you will have to do everything yourself and get very little help  but sometimes you sit back and say its all worth it we have young teams and all now so the future looks good we have a web site to that i made  myself for the players and supporters check it out for the laugh and let me know by signing the guest book cheers i wish u luck you will need it here is the web adress\nhttp//www.freewebs.com/sffc/      \nour proper domain name is comming soon cheers
