Remarkably - note Le Guen's disaster at Rangers, then Deila's at Celtic - it still doesn't seem ready now. So is on the point of turning to Malky Mackay (WTF?) instead. Conclusion: if a country's football and cultural traditions and expectations are endemic and entrenched (even if, like Scotland, it's done nothing in two decades), it's incredibly difficult and borderline impossible for a foreign manager to come in and succeed.
Player power at Rangers cost Le Guen his job at Ibrox, but Advocaat didn't do too badly, so the not ready for a foreign manager doesn't wash at Rangers.
In regards to Celtic, Deila got emptied due to his failures in Europe and the lack of a treble while Rangers were in the lower league. However, a certain Wim Jansen didn't do too badly for Celtic during his tenure, so again the foreign manager argument again doesn't wash.
Particularly as both clubs have employed British managers who've hardly set the league on fire, messers Mowbray, Barnes & McCoist please take a bow.
Scotland looking at Walter or Malky as saviour of the national team is just an example of jobs for the boys and our outdated committee structure favouring someone they know, rather than genuinely going outwith the box and approaching someone like Steve Clarke or dare I say it, a foreigner.
Scottish football at the highest level will never change unless they ditch the jobs for the blazers committees.
