“There’s a dark cloud hanging over Scottish football right now. It’s a bit grim up north and that’s before the domestic action has even started. Budgets have been slashed and squads have been severely cut as the credit crunch really starts to bite. Celtic, Aberdeen, Motherwell and Falkirk all appointed new bosses during the close season only for all three to suffer disappointing European defeats to further increase the doom and gloom.” (ESPN)
