Was just wondering has anyone had success in the SPL without managing Celtic or Rangers?

The reason i ask is because i recently took over at Hearts after stints at Arsenal, Cameroon and Cardiff and although finishing 2nd (expected 9th) in the first season I just dont know if I can attract good enough players to finally knock Celtic off the top!

Have you seen any board takeovers yet in the game, as have been playing this one quite a while and not seen a single board takeover yet.

i started my game off at St. Johnstone in the First Division and got promoted to the SPL taking them into 4th place, got offered Hibs job and took them to 3rd place winning the Scottish Cup (beat Celtic in the final), then offered Celtic Job and won 2 scottish cups, 2 league cups and 5 league titles before being offered Barcelona job which I'm still currently in...

good stuff! No not yet I haven't seen a board take over in any of my games yet which is weird because there were loads in FM07

Hi, I have currently got to the year 2024 on my FM game with Scottish prem and 1st Div and several other leagues loaded. About 4 years ago in the game I had a look at the SPL and felt it looked boring as the 2 teams had pretty much won and came second 99% of the time. So, I got the FMM editor and saw the other teams had quite a bit in the bank, so I decided I would do stadium upgrades for them (and they pay for it) basically 1 million pounds per 1,000 seats. All the teams (except 2) have over 35,000 seater stadiums and the league is actually a bit more competitive (Hearts have won a few times).

I also combined the Dundees into 1 stadium. Aberdeen have 57,000 (and have been relegated) Dundee Utd have also been relegated. It's just a bit of fun, but really interesting to see how it works. The league is much more competitive now! Does anyone do similar? Does it sound like a crazy idea?

I'm having quite a bit of success as Motherwell manager.

I did well with Hibs, great team

I might have to give that a go. I found the SPL a real challenge with Rangers.

I've done great with Hibs also. I must say I had quite a bit of trouble with getting my team up to the level required in the Champions League, but it was great fun...

I recently went over to Dundee (not Dundee Utd) from my all-conquering Woodlands side, now trying to bring them to Europe.

Not even in the Premier League though!
