The reality is there are too many senior football clubs in Scotland. A population of 5 million with 40 senior teams compared to England with 10 times the population and less than 3 times the amount of senior clubs. In the past there has been talk of amalgamating teams, e.g. one team from Edinburgh and Dundee but that wuold never work. Hibs, Hearts, Dundee and Utd are teams with their own rivalries. Theres no way they would stand on the terracing together to support an "Edinburgh Utd".
