An interesting read.

Out of interest, when was the last time there were no Scottish managers in the English top division? We're looking at at least the mid-80s given Ferguson took charge of Man Utd around then.

Nothing to worry about IMO ..... lets face it there's hardly any English players left in the EPL, never mind Scottish managers :greengrin

That was the last year of the old first division. Article about this lack of Scottish managers in the EPL in the Herald today. Notes that there's now a number of Scottish managers with teams abroad now (didn't realise Coyle was in the US).
