Celtic’s humilation exposes the miserable state of Scottish football | Ewan Murray

Being streets ahead of all domestic competition but making up the numbers in the Champions League should be impetus for changeThe sniggering from Dortmund to Durness has been unmistakable. The intensely tribal nature of Scottish football combined with Celtic’s dominance of the same scene means results such as the 7-1 trouncing in Dortmund on Tuesday are widely celebrated. Petty, parochial but perfectly understandable.The trouble is, yet another harrowing night for Celtic provided the latest snapshot of Scottish football’s miserable state. There is no point in revelling in Celtic’s scenario because the pickle they continually find themselves in against serious opposition tells all about the standard of the Scottish Premiership.
