Of course money is the issue. How are Scottish teams able to attract the best foreign players when the wages on offer are miniscule compared to the obscene budgets in the bigger leagues. We also struggle to hold on to our best players as they are able to make fortunes elsewhere. Nathan Patterson is a prime example of this, I'm sure you'll agree. You'll have noticed that Scottish teams used to do alright in Europe (Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen, Dundee Utd) before the money elsewhere started to eclipse the money here.
Don`t do it to yourself mate, you`ll never win, you`ll just go round and round in circles, until you lose the will to live
