But you sound like you're stuck with the mindset that Scottish clubs have an entitlement to beat clubs from Malta, Lithuania or some other country that you think is of an even more appalling standard than Scottish football.
As I said, I'm realistic enough to accept that at present we are on a par with the standard of football in these countries. Whether that is due to them improving or us getting worse is debatable.
However the only way for there to be a realistic expectation that Scottish clubs should beat those countries' representatives is to find ways to improve the standard of our game to a level above theirs.
Summer football has been suggested by some, including you, as a solution and it's something I'm willing to support. Revenue sharing is something I'm less convinced by as it's likely to reduce the budgets of our better teams which will hamper them in Europe. A bigger question is how do we encourage more kids to play the game and how do we improve their ability?Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I do believe they should be though, and regularly, given our population, the resources that go into our game and the fact that football is our national sport.
I saw Hibs beating teams like Rosenberg 9-1 and Sporting Lisbon 6-1.
If we played them now, there's probably more chance of those scores being reversed.
That's (part) of what I find embarrassing, the depths to which our league has fallen.
Maybe if I hadn't witnessed how good we used to be, I would feel differently.

Derby matches are between two teams from the same city such Liverpool-Everton, City-United, Wednesday-United, etc. - or between two teams from the same part of a very large City such as Spurs-Arsenal, Chelsea-Fulham, Palace-Charlton, etc. or between teams from nearby one-team Cities such as Newcastle-Sunderland.
Grudge matches such as Liverpool-United, Leeds-United, Aberdeen-Rangers and now Wimbledon-MK Dons can be a lot more bitter than many derby matches.
