A decade of Scottish football

The always excellent Scottish Football Blog has started a series of articles looking back at the last decade in the game north of the border.

They begin the series with a look back at our club's  performances in European competition which, despite what the sassenachs might think, is not as bad as all that (as long as you ignore the last 2 years or so). Did you know, for instance, that two of our teams made a European final - not bad eh, for such a wee country?

In the second, published yesterday, they look back at 10 years of the League Cup, "the poor relation in Scotland’s triumvirate of top trophies", as they call it.

Our beloved Aberdeen make the list of Diddy Cup finalists, which is nice. Even though we lost to Celtic (incidentally, we also lost out in the Scottish Cup that year, getting pumped 4-0 by Rangers), it is nice to remember a time when the Dandies actually achieved something - a far cry from the shower of shite on display these days.

Oh, don't get me started...
