SCOTTISH football has often been accused of a degree of insularity over the years. Whether it be the same old names getting thrown up whenever the managerial merry-go-round gets into full swing, or the propensity for teams outwith the Old Firm to only really do their shopping in the transfer market in Scotland, it is perhaps a charge that carries a little weight.
At least it used to. It feels to me like the last couple of years have signalled a changing of the guard, where more and more clubs are looking outward, and at the same time our game is receiving wider recognition on the international stage.
