How to halt Scottish football's decline?
Celtic and Rangers have been left isolated by their rivals
Scottish football is facing its biggest crisis yet, according to players' union boss Tony Higgins.

Motherwell have been placed into interim administration, but what can be done to stop more clubs following suit?

HAVE YOUR SAY

The decision to put Motherwell up for sale has led to the resignation of manager Eric Black, with Terry Butcher taking his place.

The finger of blame has been pointed at the Old Firm, whose rejection of a proposed pay TV channel prompted the ten remaining SPL clubs to resign from the league.

The future of Scottish football looks increasingly uncertain, as it faces up to what Higgins regards as its biggest crisis yet.

Is there any solution to the crisis? And what does the future hold for the Scottish game?
