The Scottish men's national football team are going places.
"Today's SFA likes to think it is beyond such amateurism and ineptitude. But it really has to look long and hard about how it organises and promotes our national game. This at a time when Steve Clarke is inspiring a new generation of players and supporters, and the progess and results can be seen on the playing field.
At the moment, we have no Scottish men's football matches in free-to-air TV unless we qualify for the finals of the Euro Championship or FIFA World Cup. The games of all these finals are for now protected and have to be shown live on BBC and ITV.
What an indictment and a telling statement of the people who claim to be the custodians of our national game. The SFA, 150 years and counting, is still failing in promoting the role, place and vibrancy of our football – from players and coaching staff to generations of supporters. And in doing so, while set up as a private association, it is ultimately accountable to absolutely no-one but itself."
