Regan cautions against knee-jerk reaction to failure of Scottish clubs to ...
STEWART REGAN, the chief executive of the SFA, was quick to react to last night’s disappointing results in the Europa League and insisted that neither “moaning” nor “knee-jerking” will deliver progress in Scotland’s beleaguered domestic game.
Hearts may have been chasing a lost cause in London against Tottenham Hotspur, but it was hoped Rangers and Celtic would overcome mediocre opponents in Maribor and Sion respectively. In the event, the Ibrox side drew 1-1 at home with the Slovenians to go out 3-2 on aggregate while Celtic slumped to a 3-1 defeat to Sion in Switzerland following a goalless draw at Parkhead.
It was the first time in the history of Scottish football that every representative – there were four teams competing this season – has been dumped out of Europe before the end of August.
“Tonight reinforces what we already knew from the McLeish Report,” Regan tweeted. “Our domestic product is poor and our national team is improving due to players playing at the highest levels, mainly in England.
“We need a strategic focus on reconstruction and time for performance strategy to make a difference. We will work together and we will implement a plan.
“Moaning will not deliver progress. Neither will knee-jerking.”
Rangers have now won only one of their last 25 European matches and the immediate focus is on Ally McCoist and his players’ failure to put away Maribor despite Carlos Bocanegra equalising Dalibor Volas’s second-half opener.
When asked if he felt there was now more pressure on his shoulders, the manager said: “I don’t know. I don’t feel any more pressure. I only feel disappointment.
“I’m disappointed for the fans and for the players. I certainly don’t feel any more pressure. We all want European football so to go out at this stage and not qualify for the Europa League is a bitter disappointment.
