Whilst watching the Raith Rovers v Rangers game I also kept a close eye on the iPad as Stuttgart hosted Borussia Dortmund.
Dortmund won the game 3-2 but what followed the full time whistle intrigued me more.
Stuttgart players went and spoke to an unhappy home support. They discussed the game, mistakes that were made and the fact that their team are currently bottom of the league.
conversations were had and embraces took place both as a comfort to fans and players alike.
This follows Dortmund players, themselves, doing this a few weeks ago.
Big question is how accountable should the club be to their supporters? I think the Germans have this spot on. The players earn respect by being open and honest to their fans.
I woud love Scottish Football to adopt this mentality. Could it ever happen? I believe we, as a club, are making big efforts on this front.
