Willie Waddell! What a cracker that is. But of course, in true Scottish football style, there's someone from one of the bigot brothers in it so there just has to be someone from the other to balance things out. You should actually put this where 99.9% of anything Scottish football media related should be.

Stein

Busby

- Whichever provincial diddy wants to laud the achievements of someone who died before the war.

 

Since I gather from the comments you included Willie Waddell - if I click on a link to a page I'm not giving you another click by watching a video - presumably on the basis of one European trophy for Rangers then I don't think it's really that much of an achievement compared to any of the names I listed, given the success of Rangers in Europe at the time. I'd mark him down for not winning more, personally.

Of course, the notion of including any Rangers and Celtic managers given their comparative resources to near enough every other Scottish manager in history is complete nonsense, but I suppose Stein's still worthy of such company.

Yeah fair enough Willie Waddell was just for a talking point xD 

Like I said in the video he is the only manager I would have replaced

Alex Ferguson

Jock Stein

Jim Maclean

Eddie Turnbull

Fergie stands hands and shoulders above all the Scottish managers. Jock Stein did break new ground with a wonderful set of teams however, over quite a few years, capped by the brilliant 1967 win in Lisbon but he did it with a team that had the advantage of huge crowds and lots of money in comparison to the others, except Rangers of course. Fergie won two European trophies, on a budget that was tiny compared to the rest and overachieved for many years at Aberdeen as did Jim Maclean at Dundee United. People make fun of United but their team in the early eighties was an absolute joy to watch at times. Celtic have managed flowing football in many games this season and are great to watch but United were a different class then and really did play the Scottish equivalent of total football. It was to Fergies great credit that we managed to maintain our stranglehold on Rangers, Celtic and the rest for so long.

Incidentally I took someone's advice on here, sorry can't remember who, and bought Soccernomics by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski. It makes interesting reading although it essentially boils down to the higher the average salary the higher the position in the league. So basically the times that Celtic don't win they have massively underachieved and the times they do win its expected really. If you have the time and can read buy it!
