Would you mind naming them please?

I'm on the football committee at Scots and it would come as a great surprise to me and the other committee members if this were in fact true.  At the start of the season , we made it clear that selection for the Scots first X1  would be based on attendance at pre -season training, successful trialling for the team and attendance at practices. The WPFA players were unavailable for this due to other commitments. So your assertion that Scots first XI is stacked with WPFA players is simply not true , I'm afraid. An exception has been made for a younger team so a WPFA goalie can get game time.There is one TW player in the Scots first X1 that I know of.

The comments I had made earlier came from a casual discussion with a student from Scots. From that discussion I was led to believe that the 1st XI Goalie and a number of other players were members of the Phoenix Academy. I stand corrected if the information provided was wrong.

And congratulations must also go to Scots for getting into Premier Division in 2015. I believe Scots were in Div 2 in 2014.
