Is Scottish football better - or worse - than it was 20 years ago? 🤔

Why is alcohol still banned in Scottish football? 🍺
It's not the 1980s anymore! Football fans shouldn't be treated like second-class citizens.
Would you like to see the ban repealed? 👇

S14E44 Keiran Hennigan and the 14 Team Premiership. Featuring John Bl and guest Keiran Hennigan.
S14E44 Keiran Hennigan and the 14 Team Premiership
Five years since league reconstruction was last briefly discussed by the SPFL, and promptly batted away into the night sky, Improving Scottish Football Podcast host Kieran Hennigan revisited the topic with a one minute video promoting a 14 team Premiership idea. The video went viral with over 800,000 views on Twitter/X alone. John B invited Kieran onto discuss the pros and cons of a 14 team Scottish Premiership and why he thinks this is the way forward, and not just in the top flight either.
