With the SPFL starting this weekend, let’s get in the mood with some things unique to the game up there 

When you win the league you begin the following season by unfurling a flag in the middle of the pitch. Therefore your first game of the new season is always at home for the champions. This possibly happens in other leagues, but I’ve only seen it in Scotland

This gesture that Morelos was sent off for, photo halfway down this page, is unique to Scotland and common at football grounds 

When a team sign a player who has caps for his country all media refer to him as an “internationalist”, instead of an international.

They pronounce some weird Scottish names with weird Scottish pronunciations

Menzies is pronounced Mingus

Dalziel is pronounced Dee-ell

The split is nearly unique, their wee brothers across the dyke in Norn Arn are the only other league I'm aware of that also dee it, bear in mind I only follow 10 leagues in any way at all

They release songs ahead of international tournaments which fatalistically imply they're going to do disastrously

Well, they did in the last century anyway

Rod Stewart turning up absolutely hammered for your cup draw.

That's a Scottish exclusive thing.

One of the two most supported clubs in the league lies that it was founded in the 1870s despite it being a different entity entirely to the one that was formed in the 1870s

Oh wait, Manchester United do that too

So not unique

Sorry

Raising the league champions flag happens here, not in the centre of the pitch though

1) Celtic fans being under the impression that there is a grand Protestant orchestrated conspiracy to destroy their club and "culture".

2) Rangers fans being under the impression that there is a grand Roman Catholic orchestrated conspiracy to destroy their club and "culture".

3) Craig Levein (one of the most dysfunctional managers out there) getting employment.

4) John Hughes (a nasty workplace bully and of below average intelligence) getting employment.

5) Billy Stark (possibly the worst youth team coach in Europe) getting employment.

6) The national team having zero right backs available but an abundance of left backs.

Do you also think it's clever to call Welsh people "taffs" or French people "frogs" ?

I don't ever refer to you lads as being "paddies" or "micks" because I know that's a stupid, patronising, demeaning stereotypical name for the great Irish people.

I care, I care a lot. I always ensure I have clean jocks on and have a supply of them in the drawer, but surely this is not the place to be discussing underwear.
