Lack of TV money and poor facilities are just two of the problems hurting what used to be a footballing hotbed

Craig Brown, the last manager to lead Scotland to a World Cup in 1998, now managing Aberdeen, has two main explanations. One is that it is cyclical, a small population will inevitably have dips in production. The other is facilities, or rather, a lack of them, which exacerbate the same socio-economic reasons affecting English youth development: electronic games, poor diet and a lack of school sport.

I find Stewart Regan's and to an extent Brown's comments utter nonsense

Agree about facilities, have always said that's a problem but the main problems lie a lot deeper than that
