One area in which Scottish football beats English is in the names of their clubs.
Third Lanark is part of my childhood. We used to have tea and the football results would be on the TV. I've always loved Brechin because they always lost! Third Lanark were there, Partick Thistle, Hibernian, Heart of Midlothian ....... St Johnstone. And my gran' always put sugar on her tomatoes. And if we were lucky there's be snowballs in the centre of the table, much bigger and better than those titchy things now.
Elgin City ........ and Elgin isn't a city. Stenhousemuir,what a lovely place name, and they've got a good cricket ground too.
