Scottish Football Preview 2014-15

Summers with World Cups are by far the easiest for the football fan, with a month’s worth of delectable action in what seems to be a vast chasm between mid-May and August, but I’ve found myself itching more than ever to get back to the week-in week-out ritual of following Scottish football.  The SPFL’s first season came and went last season with a decent showing, but this season is shaping up to me to be far more interesting.
