Players that cut it in England, but not Scotland. Joey Barton - Rangers

Burnley’s POTY talked for months about how he was levels above anyone in Scotland (particularly Scott Brown) and would boss things.

Happy Ray McKinnon day! Here’s the story of a modern day Greenock Morton legend. McKinnon replaced Jim Duffy in May of 2018, talking up the club’s potential to the press and how he believed he was the man to bring Premiership football back to Greenock.

First order of business? Release fans favourite Andy Murdoch for literally no reason. Prick.

With Sky’s new deal with the SPFL starting this week. I thought I’d look at some er, highlights, from over the years. Enjoy! Managing to translate an interview with Alfredo Morelos wrong. Causing an absolute shitstorm and getting them kicked out of Parkhead.

Still, no explanation has been given.
