How quickly things change. I vaguely recall that when Lambert was with us in the top flight, half (or possibly more) of the Premier League clubs were managed by a Scot. I think one of the footy shows (probably Football Focus) ran a feature on it.

That''s right Chip it was a brilliant trivia question. Not only were there 7 Scottish managers in the Prem they were all Glaswegian!

So let''s start the game, who can remember the other 6 in the Premiership year that Lambert was our manager?

It was quite amazing really - 7 Scotts is already unusual but 7 managers out of 20 from the same city ....

Deep fried mars bars must have been hard to find that season ;-)
