All 42 SPFL clubs have been summoned to attend a crisis meeting by the SFA around the future of Scottish football.Chief executive Ian Maxwell and chief football officer Craig Mulholland will host the summit, described as ‘critically important’ in documents seen by BBC Scotland, in St Andrews on September 4.The invitation outlines plans to ‘discuss opportunities’ regarding homegrown talent, and also hear from those clubs who have successfully ‘optimised their elite talent level’.The meeting will also reportedly address the financial realities currently facing clubs in 2026 and how that is affecting progress both on and off the pitch.It comes amid growing concerns over the lack of game time being given to Scottish players in the Premiership, with the issue being thrust into the spotlight once again following the first round of fixtures of the new season, which kicked off last weekend.Friday’s curtain-raiser between Dundee United and Rangers featured just two Scots, whilst Motherwell failed to name any in their starting XI for their clash with Hibernian, who had two.

The answer is no.‘Bodo/Glimt, look what they did in the Champions League with 10 Norwegian starters in their line-up. So if Norway can do it, why can’t Scottish teams do it? Motherwell fielded a starting XI against Hibernian that failed to include a single Scot‘I would like to see more young Scottish players, but I’ve got to ask the question to the managers, why are they not playing young Scottish players from their academies in their first team?‘I would imagine they’ll say they don’t think they’re good enough, and then the next question is, why aren’t they good enough?‘We’ve got more qualified coaches in history, we’ve got more artificial pitches in history, we’ve got more league football, boys’ football, kids playing in history — not kids playing street football, but organised football.’It has been a sobering summer for Scottish football so far, with the national team’s failure to progress to the knockout round of the World Cup in North America quickly followed up by the resignations of both Steve Clarke and Under-21 coach Scot Gemmill – with no successors yet in place.
