Kick Off

Welcome to the blog that discusses Scottish Football outside the Old Firm and its majority of supporters. I apologise to any Rangers or Celtic fans who have arrived at this site thinking they were going to get an in depth look at the top two in Scottish football, because, well they aren’t. However, if you are a fan of any of the ten SPL clubs outside of the two Glasgow giants, or any of the thirty clubs in the Scottish Football League then I am trying to aim this blog at you lot. The fans of the clubs not on the backpages, the fans of the clubs not mentioned when talking about Scottish football to a foreigner and the fans of the clubs who are continually asked, “no really, who do you support, Rangers or Celtic?”!

Scottish football is currently in a decline, long gone are the days of television money flooding in, where European football was a thing that lasted more than just one home leg and one away leg. These days Scottish football is seen as a joke, a laughing stock of European football, be it Deportivo fans poking fun at the game in Scotland, declaring that they didn’t want to be involved in a two team league as well, or having to draft referees in from around the continent in a bid to make sure top flight games are played, the game is currently in the doldrums.

Every player, team, manager, fan, has to work together in order to try and bring us out of this descent and bring us into an era where we are not laughed at, and where clubs can actually challenge the top two.

So basically, what I want to achieve from this blog is to have a list of entries that fans can look through and see items ranging from Hearts and Dundee United editorials, to East Stirling and Forfar news. I want to try and avoid as much Old Firm items as I can and try to discuss the Scottish Footballing world outside of Rangers and Celtic.

I look forward to writing for you, and hope that you can take the time to read some posts and hopefully leave a comment or two. I am all for reasonable debates with fellow fans, and will enjoy getting involved in some light hearted banter with as many people as I can.
