As someone who has been watching Scottish football for 40 years, I’ve noticed that people love telling you that they don’t watch Scottish football.
They do this because it makes them feel smart and sophisticated, things people like to think of themselves as being. In their minds, Scottish football is both crap and entirely sustained by the age-old sectarian blood feud between Celtic and Rangers, meaning that watching it makes you either an idiot or a bigot, neither of which are things people like to think of themselves as being.
