We have had some great Scottish managers as well so why do you think this fit works so well ? They clearly have the right attitude, and in Patterson I think we might have found the best of the lot. I didn't expect anything from him until next season, he's clearly not a natural midfielder but he's without doubt a great attacking threat and knows where the goal is. He's direct, aggressive and great in the air.
Should we be looking at more scottish players as it's clearly paid dividends for us over the years?

Bryson is Scottish and has been a big disappointment.

Scottish Football is my specialist subject and I concur with this, don’t know why but the days of producing a Law, Souness or Dalglish seem long gone, plenty of decent players who’ll give a great shift and as you say get us out the Championship but Premiership level Scottish players are few and far between.
