Scottish premier league.

Aberdeen beat Celtic in the Scotch cup final

[AthleticoSpizz]

Dropping down the pyramid a bit, Dumbarton lost both of their pre-season friendlies 2-0. Nothing untoward there, other than their entire matchday squads were trialists (inc. the bench).

Not friendlies, they were playing both games in the Stirlingshire Cup.

Indeed

[Dirk Gently]

No SPL but one level down - but the odious little gobshite Billy Davies gets his first job in football for about a decade as "Technical Head Coach" at Morton.

3 games in and Rangers already trail Celtic by 6pts. Is it too early to say the title's done and dusted?

Russell Martin is not a popular man in Govan. No wins in the league and thumped at home in the CL qualifier.

Rangers have spent £10m on transfers this season including £2.2m on a player from Sheffield Wednesday who would have been free if they'd waited another 2 weeks. They spent another £4.5m on a player they've had on loan for 18 months who's only played 16 games.

Not quite done and dusted yet, that’ll happen next week after Celtic beat them. Scottish title chase will then have lasted 4 games this season, which is actually about 15 games less than normal.

Someone really needs to fix the stupidity of Scottish domestic football. Going back to two divisions would be a start.

I would have thought given there is now promotion between league/non-league that that would make sense to a degree.

A pyramid such as:

Prem - 18 clubs
Div 1 - 20 clubs
Div 2 (2 regionalised divisions) of 16 (for example) - Reserve teams can play at Div 2 level but no higher.

It won't happen as Celtic/Rangers won't want to give up a derby for a home game v Arbroath.

[From Despair To Where?]

I don't think going to a 2 League system will make any difference. You'll just have a league that stratifies in a way that mirrors the current set up and it's not just the Old Firm that want to maintain 2 home games against both against Celtic and Rangers.

There's also already not enough money coming into Scottish football outside the Old Firm so I'm not convinced diluting the league will make it any more attractive to broadcasters.

If you look at other countries with similar populations, they also have 10 or 12 club leagues.

Well, Celtic won't have any Champions League money to rely on this season. That's an absolutely shocking result for them and really fcuks up any chance of Scotland improving it's co-efficient.

Slip one more position in the co-efficients this season and they lose another European place.

Actually hoping now that Rangers pull off the miracle they need tonight and really rub Celtic’s nose in it.

Ross County, relegated from the Scotch Prem last season are bottom of the Scotch Champ 3 games in

They so nearly made it.

I actually hesitate to pronounce on who had the worst result , them or Man United at Grimsby.

I think Martin's gone if they lose at the weekend. They are utterly shambolic in defence.

[Winston Biscuit]

East Kilbride top of the 4th on their first ever season in the Scotch football league

[From Despair To Where?]

They've been a consistently good Lowland League team since their formation in 2010. Never finished in the bottom half and only finished outside the Top 5 3 times.

It's not a big surprise that they've taken to the Scottish League.

[Winston Biscuit]

5 games for Rangers, no wins.

3rd from bottom in the SPL

[AthleticoSpizz]

Jambo’s topping the league, but it’s Celtic’s title already. (Edit) 90+6 minute penalty that wins the game for them pretty much confirms it.

Holiett and Obita still featuring in Hibs ‘title charge’ (ex-Royals crossover), my only interest in the jocko game now

[Winston Biscuit]

weird looking table right now

top 2 teams level on 13 points with 4 wins each. no one else in the league has more than 1 win so far this season

[Brum Royal]

So many draws in the league:

Motherwell 5 draws from 5
Rangers and Kilmarnock 4 draws from 5
3 sides have 3 draws from 5

Celtic and Hearts both 4 wins and a draw from their 5 games and 7 points clear of 3rd placed Hibs
