New Edition – Matchday Programme

Significant changes to Scottish football might be coming!

Significant changes might be coming, if proposals are approved at a SFA General Meeting (October ’26) and at the SPFL AGM (November ’26). So, I thought I had better explain what is going on. Chris Tidmarsh (Programme Editor)

Scotland has not been producing, nor retaining enough top tier footballers.

So why has this been happening and what can be done about it? The SFA has conducted a thorough diagnosis of the issues and proposed possible solutions. Extensive stakeholder interviews were conducted, global player data analysis was used and international best practice case studies were reviewed.

In the next two issues of the Programme, I will report on (a)the perceived problems (Programme of 3 October) and (b) what is being proposed to address the situation (Programme of 10 October). These will be extended articles because there is a lot of ground to cover.

I think many Scottish football fans will be interested.

To avoid disappointment, please be sure to obtain a copy of each of the next two Programmes!
