It is fair to say that the news of Gemmill’s departure after 13 years as a Scottish FA youth coach, including 10 as the head coach of the Scotland under-21s and four failed attempts to reach the European Championships with nary a playoff to even speak of, didn’t exactly inspire a period of mourning among followers of the national side.
