I keep reading the clamour for more Scots, a Scottish backbone or guys with experience of the SPL.
The Scottish game is crap. The standard is poor, the Scotland team can barely scrape together a win. why should we go Scottish?
Sourness brought in "foreigners" with no SPL experience. The guys like Woods, Butcher, Francis, Roberts and Wilkins were just great players.
We could afford these guys now because of the money in England but we should aim higher than "any Scottish".

BR, A scottish basis has and always will be important.
Souness managed to bring in all these english boys due to money and the fact that English clubs were banned in Europe at the time.
But even during those years it was deemed important to have Scots including Souness himself, Gough, McCall, McCoist etc.

I was referring to players with some kind of pedigree or fight in them Frustratedbear1.
Wilson is a lazy farce. Holt is a passenger most of the time, who was brought in to make up numbers. Bates is a prospect who will be nurtured.
We need players who are willing to go to war every week and play through injury, hence why Dorrans and Jack are a step in the right direction.
Back in 2008 we had McGregor/ Alexander, Weir, Broadfoot, Whittaker, Ferguson, Thomson. Players like Cuellar, Papac and Cousin were a luxury.
Teams that win no what it means to play for us. Just saying. We get the backbone, we start competing.
