Long what I've believed to be the big issue with producing talent in Scotland; there is nothing there from ages 18+ to continue their development to be able to play in the first team.
I get that the other smaller teams are producing talents, mainly as they can afford to pitch in a player at 16-18 and lose some games with them in it.
Part of the issue is our fans are absolutely horrendous, will support and clamour for a young player to be given a chance, but 10mins into their debut they misplace a pass and get slaughtered. Hell it even happens to first team players, I heard a guy behind me at St Johnstone game absolutely slaughtering Hagi for doing "nothing but give the ball away constantly" not 2 minutes after he provided the assist for Cernys 2nd.
I fear that nothing will ever change though, as too many clubs that do nothing but exist for the 1000 or so people who claim to be fans have too much power in making decisions for the betterment of the league and national team.
