Surely it's the mid-sized clubs who overspend to end up in (inter)national cup finals that are most at risk? Last eight admins in Scotland:
Hearts: League Cup finalists 2013, admin 2013.
Dunfermline: League Cup finalists 2006, Scottish Cup finalists 2007, admin 2013
Rangers: UEFA Cup finalists 2008, admin 2012
Dundee: Scottish Cup finalists 2003, admin 2003 (& 2010)
Livingston: League Cup winners 2004, admin 2004 (& 2009)
Gretna: Scottish Cup finalists 2006, admin 2008
Given Thistle's precarious finances we obviously threw the match against Clyde to avoid a cup run which could end in admin. How else can one explain Ashcroft's own goal?
