In allowing clubs outwith Scotland to compete in this tournament, imo it should have been conditional on the Irish, Welsh and English clubs that they forego home advantage or arrange a Scottish venue for matches to be played. The grant given to clubs will barely cover the expense, in some cases it wont, leading to hardship for Scottish clubs who are hardly in a position to absorb these additional costs. This sound more sensible now the Doncaster is making a complete farce of this competition.
