As a Scotland fan and hoping scotish clubs like Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen doing well is very important for the national team.
One of the big flaws in Scotish football is youth development. They don't do that well. We know they cant compete financially but other countries with the same size like Belgium, Netherlands and Swizerland are developing good young players.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No patience, no collective will.
In saying that, some players have come through recently, but generally, the game up here is too self-centred and refuse to look to the future good of the game.

We do develop good young players up to a point. Scotland are still well represented at youth level. Rangers youth teams did pretty well in the European tournaments and match programmes. I'm sure Celtic are similar.
There is something missing though because these players don't go on to make the jump to first team level.
Don't know what it is but it's a question for someone to answer. Why our youth players are competitive yet mostly don't make the step up?
Answer is probably buckfast
Lennon was at fault for last night, plain and simple. What message does it send to Boli in August when he's dropped for the most important game of the season when the manager puts a midfielder in his place whilst weakening midfield. Why is big Julian not getting a start, £10m worth of newly acquired defensive talent benched, also think Celtic should bring back big Fraser Forster in goal, guys surplus to requirements at Southampton and was the best keeper I've seen at Celtic park in the last 20+ years! Sad sad night, appointment of Lennon was hugely underwhelming and lazy by the board, under ambition is a killer...
I reckon the reason youth players don't kick in is the fact that Rangers and Celtic can't afford to give then much game time unless they're exceptional talents.
It's all about the demands of the fans.
