Scottish footballs biggest issue is that the SFA are useless and they just have an almost unavoidable penchant to bottle it against teams they should beat

They are quite similar to Everton in that regard

There's enough decent players there that they should be able to qualify for a 24 team tournament like the Euros

Organisation and mentality, thats the issue

Also the Old Firm hoovering up any promising young Scottish player only to stick them on a bench doesn't help either (See Gary Mackay-Steven)

I'm not even convinced McGinn would have played much if he'd gone to Celtic. They wanted to have him so Hibs couldn't


I highly doubt Celtic would sign a player so Hibs wouldn’t have him. They will sign players hoping they do the business, and in a lot,of cases that won’t happen, but there’s no way Celtic would spend three million pounds just to prevent a player paying for Hibs.

Oh come on mate

What do you call the acquisitions of GMS, Armstrong and Ciftci other than a concerted attempt to gut a potential rival at a critical time for instance?

Predatory behaviour if it was ever seen

And look how Rangers signed Jack and tried to poach McInnes

THe Old Firm don't want anyone else at the party and will do whatever they can to snuff out potential challengers

3 million to cripple Hibs would have been 3 million well spent

This is the impression I get of Ranger and Celtic too.

Bit like what Bayern do or used to do in Germany. But players just so their rivals can’t have them.

Not sure tbh.
Celtic or the rangers can't compete with the English leagues hence villa surprisingly getting mcginn
Kenny Mclean went to nowrich remember.
The pre-contact has probably hindered the Glasgow two .

Mikey, when was the last time Dundee United could be classed as a potential rival to Celtic, the 90's?

Hibs are a decent side, and hard to beat at Easter Road, but when was the last time they were considered potential winners of the Scottish Premiership? I could see your point if Celtic had signed some Aberdeen players during Ronny Delia's reign, but I couldn't disagree with you more on this. Celtic are adding to their squad, hoping the signings will improve the team, or at least improve the squad. I seriously doubt Celtic would spend millions of pounds on McGinn, to handicap Hibernian.
