Messiahs to mugs: Is Scottish football’s boom or bust culture holding us back?

Graeme McGarry examines the rapid shifts in managerial perceptions across Scottish football, driven by modern 24/7 media and social media reactions. The column notes that while Rangers manager Derek McInnes recently faced heavy pressure, the focus has swiftly shifted to Celtic manager Martin O'Neill following recent results.

The volatile culture extends beyond the traditional Glasgow rivals to clubs across the league. Motherwell manager Alfred Johansson faces criticism following three consecutive losses, while St Mirren manager Craig McLeish also received fan frustration after a weekend defeat to Dundee United.
