yup - and then there are the likes of my team - St Johnstone - hmm - yup - the likes of St Johnstone...
But we won the Cup in 2014 so there (grasping at straws) - and not too bad a wee team for aw that.

When you stick this doomed SPL club in the EPL to compare standards do you also give them the many 10's of millions any other promoted team would get?
Or do you then expect them to field the same team they assembled for £48.23 while the analysts compare standards across the two leagues!
You've got individual players earning more than the entire global broadcast revenue of the SPL! What was it you wanted to compare again?
(& lets not forget that after the 'experiment' there's 100million guaranteed for last place that's now stuffed into suitcases when Jocks FC head north for next seasons thrilling one horse SPL race) :thup:

Attendances seem to be on the up in Scotland.
SPL 2 and the relegation of some of the bigger teams in recent years seem to have given a wider platform.
Money will always win so Celtic will always top the league.
The wider picture is that there are now more teams capable of beating them.
Look at Celtic's cup record over the last 10 years, not great.
With Rangers out of the picture you would expect them to win the treble most years. I think it has been quite a while since that happened.

Actually thinking about it if you are going to do pointless comparisons shouldn’t it be Arsenal or Liverpool etc coming up north for a season and we’ll see how a modern day EPL player fancies trips to Inverness etc on a Monday night in Feb (by bus mind) and without their protective layer of billion pound cotton wool... Transfer requests passed down the bus by the time it reaches Pitlochry
(I wonder how many SPL clubs actually have recaro seats on the subs bench)
Baw’s burst, game’s a bogey!

I see Liverpool are after a rubbish £20m SPL player

Neilson and Crawford off to MK Dons.
Seems a strange move but good luck to them hope they do well.
Up and coming Scots managers have not had a great record in England lately.

Another good win for Celtic in a 4-3 thriller at Motherwell. Coming from 2-0 down
I think that is 7 of their 13 league games they have now won by the odd goal.
Runaway leaders but many tight matches.

Here you go Hamilton, Hearts, Celtic, Rangers, Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Partick have them
Dundee, St Johnstone, Ross County, Inverness and Aberdeen don't as far as I know (disclaimer some of them may have put them in this season)
Killie's are very comfortable - had a seat in them yesterday before the match.
Top two in the village league Hibs and Dundee United have them too

Do recaro seats [whatever they are] improve the quality of players. ?

Wouldn't have thought so.
After all they are occupied by the subs who aren't good enough to get in the team!

davidy.....As you get a close up view:lol:..........out of interest how do you rate Jack Hamilton the Hearts goalie ?

aye they are. Sitting with only 2 points in the CL they are poor & will be for a long time yet, their record in the CL over the last decade and beyond is poor so no point in trying to say otherwise.

Aye they are, only 2 points so far in the CL is very poor and their track record over the last decade is probably one of the worst of any team making in the CL. No point in trying to cover up how bad Scottish football is

Not seen anything special about him yet (although to be fair I've only seen him live once) - Jamie MacDonald at Killie on the other hand has probably been best in Scotland over last two years

Yea I can't see him like others seem to do. Scotland No 3 who has come through all the youth teams.
His kicking distribution seems very poor. Still young though, so I'll give him a chance.

Cathro and MacPhee confirmed as new Hearts coaching team.
I think we have played a blinder there, hope we can hold on to them for a few years.
