What, you think Celtic will get to the Europa final? Or even the first knock-out stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er yir macaroon Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Ryan Jack has been outstanding in the Rangers game. Exceptional quality on the ball. Steve Clarke has a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierney still coming back from injury, let's hope O'Donnell doesn't get injured. Paterson had a late fitness check, got to assume he failed it.

Seven: Gordon, Christie, McGregor, Forrest, Johnston, Griffiths and Morgan. I would count Brown if he was eligible, but he ain't. I miss the 3 foreigner rule.

I would also love the SFA to be progressive and bold and introduce a 3 foreigner cap in Scottish football. It would force the Old Firm to take their youth academies seriously.

Don't think we're allowed to because of EU freedom of movement rules. They could add 'home grown player' rule though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams wouldn't be restricted to buying foreigners, they could buy as many as they like, but they'd be restricted to only paying three.

They should certainly introduce this in the Championship and below with a higher limit in the Premiership (initially) to allow clubs a transition period.

That would definitely be progressive and it would be the sign of change. The only fly in the ointment is that the Scottish clubs wouldn't allow it, and because they're ultimate in charge of the SFA, I can't see it happening. Edited August 22, 2019 by The_Dark_Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
