I can't think of a single Scottish player who has been sold for £1m plus, after only 1 season of top flight football.

Has there been one? I think Josh might be the first.

Going even further, how many Scottish under 21 year olds have sold for £1m plus? Not many I'd guess.

That we are close to getting £4m is phenomenal and not in any way par for the course when discussing Scottish transfers.

This will be an exceptional bit of business by RG.
Hickey from Hearts was reputed to be a fee of about £1.5M.I think he was tehcnically 2 seasons but he only played about 3 games in the 1st season.

The general point is correct though. I do think Scottish clubs are getting a bit better at holding out for better prices for our players these days though (or English clubs are willing to pay more, either way it's the same end result).
