Yet somehow your narrative is EVEN more boring. This is how the third best Scottish team fared against some Welsh bus drivers and bin men a couple of weeks ago in European competition:

And it's nothing new is it. Look beyond the OF and they are all absolutely shit. Look at the recent European records of everyone else - remember, these are the best Scottish teams outside the old firm, and in these years I am not missing ANY teams:
2018/19: Hibsand Aberdeen both out of Europe before the end of August. Hibs didn't even get out of the qualifying rounds.
2017/18: St Johnstone spanked in the first qualifying round against a team from Lithuania, Aberdeen out before end of August by a team from Cyprus
2016/17: Aberdeen out before end of August by a team from Slovenia, Hearts out before end of August by a team from MALTA FFS, Hibs out in July but at least to a team you've heard of (Brondby, Denmark)
2015/16: Aberdeen out before mid August by a team from Khazakstan, Cally Thistle and St Johnstone out before mid July by a team from Romania and one from Armenia.
Four straight years, four complete failures. So how on earth you can get pissy with people describing that crap league as dogshit, league 2 at best and so on is beyond me. It's a fact. It is an absolutely shit league, dominated by one club for the past decade, and two clubs for past 15 decades (except a handful of years).
And this misses the point. People lampoon the dreadful MTL (that's monkey tennis league to you because that's what it is - see the evidence posted above) because league one and league two is relegated to back pages where the Scottish Premier league results are always prioritised straight after the Premier league when in truth it belongs nowhere near the Premier League or even the Championship.
Back in the days when Scotland produced quality world class players, there was a case to be made for giving the Scottish league higher priority, but Scotland doesn't produce world class players these days and its league is made up of players looking for a pay day who can't quite cut it in the big leagues now at the OF clubs, fairly ordinary Scandinavians playing at Scottish mid sized clubs, and some old-timer plodders, often in their late 30s (Gary Dicker types) playing at the dregs.
Just because you're all sensitive about Scottish football doesn't mean the jokes at their expense aren't justified. It is an absolutely crap league, ruined by Rangers and Celtic who rely on sectarianism to maintain their status.
Completely agree with your assessment, but question your decision to only look at the European results of the 'other' sides, thus missing out Ranger's recent exit to the hands of LUXEMBOURG's third-best noddy outfit.
