Premiership in scotland though is about league one if you're lucky down south outside the old firm.

Have you actually every watch any of the English Championship dross?  The bottom half of that table produces some eye-bleedingly bad quality. 

Just because the players are paid 10x more doesnt make them any better.

Yes I have and it's still way better than the stuff in our premiership . You just have to look at the number of players from our top flight that go down there and then come back a year later with their tails between their legs having struggled badly.Aberdeen usually has a team full of them.

Most are filtered out by scouts at youth level

would a more relevant question not have been: 

 how many players have our two biggest clubs produced that can actually do the basics correctly in a Scotland shirt like find their team mate with a fucking two yard pass and not be made to look an arse by some guy from, say, North Macedonia in the last 15 years?

Luke Shaw (Man Utd), Declan Rice (West Ham),  David Silva (Man City), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool) and Tim Krul at Norwich are the current ones that immediately spring to mind.

If you turn it around how many talented players have been at the big clubs and been released after the end of thier youth deal and disappeared from the game ?

With the resources these bigger clubs have why is'nt there an endless conveyor of Scottish talent coming threw ?

Arfield, Scobbie,Murdoch, Alston, Barr, Wallace, Flynn, Fulton,Kingsley, Sibbald, Mcgrandles.  Others have gone on to have decent careers in the lower leagues.

You produced a bunch of fraud kids that daft little clubs like Swansea bought on hype becaus ethey thought they'd uncovered the Scottish La Masia.

Yeah the likes of arfield, Kingsley  and fulton never did anything in the game.🤣🤣

Strachan's comments don't really deserve to be dignified by the amount of reaction on here, but I'd have more respect for the first public figure to come out and admit that as long as we have two major clubs whose supporters' primary motivation is religious bigotry then the game here will be forever fucked.

N'Golo Kante at Chelsea, forgot about him. I mind him ripping the piss out of Chris Millar at Cappielow a couple of years ago. Didn't really get a chance at Falkirk because Sibbald was keeping him out of the team.
