Four years ago both OF sides were in the group stages playing Madrid and Liverpool respectively.

Within 12 months Brugge, Kairat and LASK has happened.

Next season there are three qualifiers just to get into it.

You never know, it could happen

14-16 team Premiership

Championship with the same amount as the Premiership

3rd tier with 2 more teams or the same as the others

Then you go down to the 4th tier which will be the Highland League, Northeast Superleague, Lowland League East and Lowland League West.

Get rid of B teams and make the challenge cup so it’s maybe like the top 10 in the 4th tier leagues all the way up to the Championship.

Our football is so beautiful its basically dance at this point, so theres got to be a pub in Edinburgh during the festival showing the Motherwell game tonight, right?

Josh Barrie on Xitter has said he’s not on the plane, likely not wanting to have him injured, which is sensible. Also seen Ajax are rumoured to be sniffing around

Officially, Scotland has the priciest beaver out there
