Whilst I agree that the Daily Record isn't worth the paper it's written on (and has an horrific website) I think the articles seem to bear out the quality of our youth. In past years there were always several players in the various under-age Scotland squads, however I'm not sure if we have any at present. We seem to have been completely overtaken by Hamilton, Kilmarnock and possibly even Partick in producing quality youngsters.

Very rarely (never) post as I'm more of a lurker, however what concerns me most is the developing apathy of the fan base. I always think the thing that sustains a support is the promise of something better tomorrow, hence why we get excited about young attacking players breaking into the team and the inconsistency that brings, rather than the consistent efficiency we often see from the current team. Comment above regarding Butcher's season where we finished bottom. I may be looking back with rose tinted spectacles, but despite finishing bottom that year I'm pretty sure I enjoyed that season more than I have the last few.
