On my walk on Friday, I passed by Hampden Bowling Club. It looks fine, despite its impending closure. By the end of February, it will be no more. I have no idea what Glasgow City Council are going to do with it. That £150,000+ repair to the roof is not going away.

Happy New Year! The CCFC end-of-year review for 2025 - Clapton Community FC
By whatever standard you judge it, 2025 has been a hell of a year for all of us. However, I think I speak for most of us when I say that our little fan-owned football club has been a beacon throughout...

This subject could easily be a book length essay. The key question is why Scottish football, or rather all the other clubs in Scotland, make no attempt to challenge underlying reasons that mean they have almost no chance of winning the league.

It was not just a comment, it was an integral part of the winning design of the Meadows that it should provide an environment for playing football. In 1855. By the time Hearts and Hibs came on the scene, a whole generation had grown up with it.
