Any titles for Aberdeen? Or relegations?

6 titles, 11 Scottish Cups, 11 league cups and 5 defeats in European finals.

They are firmly one of the big 8 clubs in Scotland who seem to swap positions.

Ross County were Scotland's last hope in the champions league this season.

Hibs are in the semi-finals and trying to retain their Europa league title after finishing 3rd in their Champions league group:

Good to see Dundee are shiter than ever in a century.

To be fair, they remained a Premiership side for the best part of 70 years and Utd were regularly behind them but never won anything.

Since, they've flitted between the 2nd and 3rd tier for about 20 seasons whilst Utd have gone on to win the Europa League II in 2104 and been in the top 4 or 5 every season in that time.

Any international results available?

Scotland have very much been a bridesmaid team through the years. Though won the UEFA Nations League 3 times.

The World Cup has made for some grim reading, though Austria have emerged as a world force.

The European Championships

Would be good (or maybe not) to see a St Johnstone update too.

 

And how many in a row do Celtic end up with?

Almost consistently a top flight club for 90 years, they've spent the last 10-15 flitting between Premier and Championship, with a Scottish cup win in 2079.

Celtic got to 20 in a row before the emergence of Aberdeen to stop them. From there, Rangers had a decent spell of dominance and St. Mirren also showed up. You can also see the emergence of Hibs.

After 2058, Celtic got another 10 in a row,  St. Mirren disappeared off the radar for 40 years after the third title and the rise of Edinburgh began. Ross County also entered the fray:

Towards the 2080s, it was Rangers turn to fall away. In their place St. Mirren resurged, Dundee Utd appeared and Dunfermline and Ross County started to shine through.

This is probably as good a thread as any to ask this in: it always bugged me in Champ/Football Man that clubs would never be liquidated. No matter how much in debt they got, there would always be someone who'd rush in to save the day. Have they finally fixed this in the modern editions?

Don't know if you missed it on the last page but how have Clyde done?

They've made the Premiership 4 times and went back down on each occasion.

90% of their life they've been middling to upper championship until last 10 years, where they've been an upper league 1 side.

Nothing outwith 3 challenge cup wins.

Any legendary bosses? Any players make a decent career in management?

Bruno Fernandes had a bit of a career. Getting his start with Cove Rangers before going to Arbroath, Ross County and then onwards to do no too bad.

As did Aleksander Mitrovic who cut his managerial teeth at Morton and Alloa:

RB Leipzig youngster Tyler Adams also went on to do quite a bit. Probably surpassing Fergie in the legend stakes in Paisley:

I'm almost frightened to ask but how are Raith Rovers getting on ?

Promoted and relegated to and from Premiership 25 times in the last 100 years. :lol:   They've not spent more than 4 seasons in the same league since 2033.

They also reached the Scottish Cup final in 2022 but lost to Aberdeen
