The Scottish Premier League has long been a bit of a joke, listen to any football podcast and you will hear constant jibes at the quality north of the border. Â Now, I have to be honest, this has never bothered me. Â The SPL is pish and if it wasn’t for my overriding affection for Aberdeen, I doubt I’d give a damn. Â I don’t watch Scottish football if Aberdeen aren’t involved and, until the last couple of years, their involvement actually tended to make me more miserable. Â However, this season is possibly shaping up to be one of the most interesting in recent years, even without one half of the gruesome twosome being involved.
