Just seems to be getting out of hand.

I think having had only two teams win the scottish premier league tin the last 30 years or so is a better use of the phrase 'getting out of hand'.

We need to develop some sort if excitement outside of a cup run. Cross border ties, taking a trip around the country. What may end up happening is from these invitations to join challenge cup it may move to become a more UK style competition and we have a scottish only cup which includes the highland and lowland league.

The old Anglo Scottish Cup was successful back in the Seventies so you could be on to something.
