Good job Elgin City just managed, by one point, to avoid the play off at the bottom of Scottish League Two. All of the other bottom berths in the divisions are held by Highland teams: Ross County, Cove Rangers (R), and Peterhead (R). Coincidence?
Fuck Elgin, cheating bastards.

Id expected a bit more from Elgin once they took the step up but they are just small fry. Peterhead, Cove never had much of a support. Ross County are a small town team punching well above their weight and Inverness C Thistle are an abomination whose creation killed one club who had a chance to be a real force. Sigh.

Just feels as if the teams from the Highlands are currently struggling. Maybe they have less financial clout.

Smaller population. There’s more Old Firm glory hunters up here than any team. Then Aberdeen fans.

In 1992, Caledonian FC took 6000 fans to St Johnstone for a winter midweek cup replay, and another 1000 were locked out. Caley could have been as big as Dundee/M’well. When the merger hit everyone walked away. Lots just glory hunted the OF, lots just gave up and embraced the SKy revolution (It happened 94) and watched English fitba. When the merger happened, Caley had 1m cash in the bank, owned their ground, they were richer than Celtc at the time.

All good points, but it doesn’t fully explain why the teams coming via the Lowland route are currently in the ascendancy; there are presumably many Old Firm supporters from these areas as well. If Spartans beat Albion Rovers, the capital could have four clubs in the senior divisions next year, which I think would be the first time that has happened since the 1940s.

It’s easier to attract players if you are based in the Central belt.

Not a coincidence, they’re just shit.
 
Just give them the title now.
Scandalous decision.
Spoiled a very good Hearts performance in the first half.
Did the MOPEs get a shocking decision to their advantage ? I find that hard to believe.
