Dismal showing by Rangers and Celtic in Europe proves how low Scottish football has sunk

Scottish football is at an all-time low as this week's European illustrate.

Champions Rangers were pathetic in their second successive 4-1 home drubbing against a team of Romanian minnows.

And, while rivals Celtic were slightly more impressive against joint German league leaders Hamburg, they failed to win a home European game for the fourth time this season.

The lack of cash in Scottish football is crippling Scotland's big two clubs and the longer they are stuck in the SPL the more evident it is that their decline will continue.
