I see your Everton, and raise you Hamilton Accies!
Where to begin?
First, they launched a sponsorship deal with a vodka company on their stadium's pitch, with the sponsors going on to be arrested on alleged money laudering charges in Marbella.
I called Everton ‘the worst run club in the country’ over 12 months ago, they continue to prove me right.
Everton v Wolves already feels like a must win for the blues.

Thirty years ago, if these sides met in a Battle of Britain clash Hibs would be the underdogs - but with an outside chance.

, can you not just do what every developer does in Glasgow and pay someone to set it on fire, claim the insurance and build a new stadium?
Hampden will be upgraded for Euro 2028 but no major rebuild. Removing track/moving stands would cost £100m+. SFA's Ian Maxwell: "There will be changes. We need to be realistic about what those are. There will be tweaks & upgrades rather than anything substantial."
