Imagining Scottish Football without the Old Firm

This season:

  • Hearts won their 30th title, moving three clear of Aberdeen, and nine clear of city rivals Hibs. They've now won three of the last five
  • Dunfermline picked up their 6th Scottish Cup, moving level with Kilmarnock, St Mirren and Clyde. It is their 8th major honour overall, and their first in 19 years
  • St Mirren won their 10th major honour, tying them with Airdrie as the =9th force in Scottish football

Etched in history:

  • Motherwell's eight league titles in a row between 1926 and 1934 remains a record that's unlikely to be broken. Motherwell broke a 61-year title drought in 1994-95
  • Aberdeen's 13 titles in 20 seasons between 1976 and 1996 is the only real competition to Motherwell's inter-war Dream Team
  • Dundee Utd didn't win anything until 1963, but a glorious period in the 80s, including six League Cup wins in a row, launched them into Scottish football's upper echelons
  • Treble winning managers:
    • Alex Smith and Jocky Scott as co-managers of Aberdeen in 1989-90
    • Willie Miller of Aberdeen in 1992-93
    • Sandy Clark of St Johnstone in 1998-99
    • Derek McInnes of Aberdeen in 2016-17
  • Hearts have the most league titles, but Aberdeen's success in the cups, particularly the League Cup, keeps them 10 trophies clear as Scotland's most successful team

Methodology:

  • the highest placed non-Old Firm team wins the league
  • a team that loses a cup final to the Old Firm wins that cup
  • where there is an Old Firm final, the team that lost the semi-final to the winners of the final wins that cup
  • where a non-Old Firm team actually won the trophy, they also won it here
  • this is obviously imperfect, please bear in mind that its just a bit of fun to represent what Scottish football might have looked like without the Old Firm throttling the life out of our national game

Is this actually a goal?

It looked a lot like the ball went through the post. Especially in the last replay.

As a Hearts fan I'm truly grateful for the abysmal decision making at both Parkhead and Ibrox this season.

Also, we need a name for the Big Three now that it's firmly established and is definitely a permanent, lasting fixture in Scottish football.

Edit - the '38' column is the number of points they would expect to get over a full 38 game season based on their PPG.
