Change the thread title to Celtic/Rangers talk

There is little to no talk of other Scottish football. 

I disagree: there are a whole bunch of interesting clubs in Scotland (and even England if you include Berwick Rangers). Some real decent grass roots clubs too

When Rangers dropped down to the bottom tier it was a real eye opener to many who got to see that yes, life existed outside the SPL: Character clubs, character grounds and some hardcase fans. Rangers fans got a whole new appreciation of Scottish Football in the lower tiers and their fans actually quite enjoyed the experience.

Obviously the problem with Scottish footy is that Cellic are streets ahead of everyone financially so the league is over before a ball is even kicked.

Another problem is that because of the small number of teams in each division it means everyone plays everyone else like 4 times a season: not ideal.

Personally I would rather check out Arbroath v Montrose standing on the terraces wit on a cold friday night with a couple hundred others and a haggis or three than watch Bournemouth v Huddersfield in a legoland stadium with everyone eating prawn sandwhiches and clapping politely :D
