I find it quite ironic in the year that a lot of people were saying the SPL had become a joke due to the promotion of Gretna (a team just a few years ago were playing non-league football), that most people are starting to take it seriously. Gretna are languishing at the bottom of the table, and it will take divine intervetion to keep them afloat, perhaps showing our league is not to be taken lightly, and of course most people are noticing it due to the European campaigns of Celtic and Rangers... not so much Aberdeen...
One thing I think that is particularly good about the SPL is the quality of managers we seem to posess. Both Martin O'Neil and Alex McLiesh are now managing teams in the premiership, who found a lot of success in our division, and there is of course the obvious one, Alex Ferguson, who managed Scottish clubs before moving onto the premiership and being hugely succesful. Trying not to be biased but Craig Levein too seems to be a manager that will likely be poached soon enough, either for the Scotland job or for bigger and better things somewhere else, as he seems to have an ability to pick up hard-working players at bargin-basement prices.
