Scotland's Game

Episode 2

The Perfect Storm

Football had become a global brand and Scotland was keen for its share of the action, and the cash.

Almost overnight the dual drivers of money and media transformed the game - but left Scottish football struggling to forge an identity that would carry it into the future.
