Could anyone help me with which Scottish clubs have the biggest fan bases outside of the Old Firm?

Cheers.

Depending on who you ask, Aberdeen take 6,000 to every away game, Tynecastle is sold out every week and Hearts have a global fanbase of 400,000.

What is more probable is that hearts have the 3rd biggest fanbase, a bawhair or 2 ahead of Hibs, then Aberdeen, then Dundee United. Then the rest just sort of follow in an indeterminable order.

The other "big 4" if you will are Hearts, ourselves, Aberdeen and Dundee United (in that order I'm sure).

Here are the average attendances for this season, taken from the SPL website. Probably a fairly accurate indicator of what you're looking for. Hibs and Hearts should maybe be a bit closer together than what the numbers show here in terms of fanbase...I think a combination of Hibs coming off a poor season last year and Hearts getting more bodies through the door due to trying to raise more money widens the gap a bit.
