It's odds on that we will have the same discussion in four years time. For that to alter, the league set up must change, but the old firm will not allow that to happen. Europe must come first for them. We also need to find some way of getting more Scottish youngsters playing in our leagues, Thistle included.
I know this will never happen, but what I would like to see is
1/ A sixteen team league with no relegation for three years. To get this passed, we need someone with better brains than me, so that the 12 teams at the moment would not lose out in gate money
2/The SFA to give grants to cover the wages of any player under 21, who plays for clubs in the 1st and 2nd division, with some provision that they play at least 3 and they are Scottish.
Me being one of the older generation can remember many top players coming out of the old 1st division and some going onto represent there country. John White and Eddie Mc Creadie just to name two.
