	Putting in the full name of Inverness Caledonian Thistle didn't work, I live in Scotland and couldn't get full marks in it because you wanted an abbreviation of the teams name - poor show.

	@pat Edu plays for Rangers not Celtic. Dundee used to have 2 teams in the top flight of Scottish football until a few years ago, both the grounds are on the same round situated less than 200m apart.

	2/12, the obvious two. oh well.

	Can we accept Inverness please? This isn't a situation where the team needs to be distinguished. Everybody calls the team just Inverness.

	12/12. Quite easy, but it took me a while to remember the bottom one. A quiz with divisions 1, 2 & 3 would be really challenging.

	Well as I'm Scottish it's just as well I got them all. pr is right. I just call them Inverness myself. @redalert. putting in the full name of ICT worked for me. @pat. If Sporcle have a 1st division quiz you would find Dundee would be a right answer! Good quiz Sporcle.

	@redalert: You must have mis-typed ICT's full name. It worked for me, too.

	Had a memory block for St Mirren/Falkirk but got there in the end with the alphabetical order helping. Would be fun to attempt the lower league teams, I hope I'd get well over half (just from watching final score / sky sports news over the years!)

	I disagree, I like putting in Inverness Caledonian Thistle in full! C'mon, its not like you're pushed for time and its likely if you know there's a team from Inverness that you know their full name! Got 11/12, damn St Mirren!

	Also, glasgow rangers is not accepted, which is really odd.

	OscilatingGibbon:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 10:29 GMT	-2 points
	This seems a little arbitrary that clubs such as Glasgow Rangers, Heart of Midlothian and Glasgow Celtic only needed the nickname (ie. rangers, hearts and celtic) and yet Hamilton and Inverness needed the entire title to count.

	One of my friends lives in Scotland and told me that the Scottish will use your football team as a barometer of your religion. When they ask what football team she supports, she always says the Chicago Bears.

	RobH:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 11:10 GMT	3 points
	7/12. Though I did type Inverness (wthout the Caledonian Thistle) so I think I really got 8. ;)

	tbh444:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 11:35 GMT	3 points
	There is no Glasgow in the names of Rangers/Celtic and never has been, it is just sometimes added by media, mostly overseas (in the UK you very rarely hear anyone say 'Glasgow Rangers') Agree that for consistency 'Hearts' shouldn't have been accepted though

	HughieM:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 12:41 GMT	1 point
	@OScillating Gibbon. The names ARE Celtic and Rangers without the GLASGOW.

	davidr:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 12:43 GMT	-1 points
	@magister: I think that's mainly in Glasgow — Rangers draws its support from traditionally Protestant areas, while Celtic was founded by a Catholic priest.

	Easy for a Brit.

	mrmystic93:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 14:38 GMT	2 points
	11/12 Always forget Hamilton Accies got promoted.

	Andy_SSE:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 15:54 GMT	5 points
	@OScillating Gibbon. The names are just Rangers and Celtic. Although you'll often see them at European grounds being called Glasgow Rangers on scoreboards, it's a misconception. Nowhere do they call themselves "Glasgow Rangers." Not their badge, tickets, financial reports, even the gates to Ibrox.

	Really cool quiz. I got 12/12 being a huge football fan from Scotland. A couple of improvements could be made though. For example, Celtic were founded in 1888, Aberdeen in 1903 etc. And also, it took me ages to think of typing Academical at the end of Haamilton! Thanks for a really good quiz!

	DRB:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 17:02 GMT	1 point
	For some reason I totally forgot the two Edinburgh clubs - but got them when I realised there wasn't much alphabetical gap between the two either side of them! Cool quiz.

	davidr:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 17:30 GMT	2 points
	@Connie: The date isn't year of foundation: it's first season in the top flight. The Scottish Football League's first season was 1890-1, though several of the clubs are older than that.

	hehe, hooliganism alive and well on Sporcle.

	@davidr: Actually, she's in Aberdeen. I do understand what you mean though.

	bettymouse:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 17:58 GMT	1 point
	This was nice and easy for me 12/12 although nothing to brag about as i do come from Glasgow!!

	Statto2:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 19:19 GMT	-4 points
	@redalert - go and enjoy copulation and perambulation! Like several others I managed to get Inverness by typing the full name.

	peanut4:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 23:44 GMT	0 points
	Nice addition. A challenging yet doable quiz even for us foreigners down in England. Would be good to get a Scottish Football League one too.

	davebesag:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 23:54 GMT	2 points
	Would have thought Hamilton would be enough.

	12/12 but thats not a great surprise as i am a fan of the bottom one alphabetically, saddened that you lot seem to forget us :(. Hibs should be accepted as Hearts is.

	LeeC:	Jan 30th, 2009 at 21:53 GMT	3 points
	Had a mentle block on Killie. Agree that Inverness, Hamilton & Hibs should be accepted as Hearts are.

	C_W_Browne:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 14:50 GMT	2 points
	How can 1.7% of people take this quiz without knowing Celtic or rangers! Surely if you think a quiz on Scottish premier league teams is for you, then you might remember the two most successful and popular ones!

	Andy_SSE:	Feb 21st, 2009 at 23:57 GMT	3 points
	@Magister. There's a joke that if ever you get whipped into an alley and the question "Rangers or Celtic" is posed you say Inter Milan. NED will then procede to ask you to name them, so you begin "Well the goalie's Lasagne, then it's Tagliatelli, Spaghetti, Ravanelli, POmadora - he had some engine on him...."

	I wish there was a Bundesliga quiz...

	joefoxon:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 10:34 GMT	0 points
	12/12 with 03:46 remaining.

	fatfifer:	Apr 21st, 2009 at 19:00 GMT	4 points
	could do with the lower leagues, maybe even highland league, EoSFL and SoSFL to counteract the hundreds of US leagues on sporcle!

	is89:	Jun 25th, 2009 at 22:09 GMT	0 points
	Should be allowed Hibs for Hibernian. 11/12, stupid hamilton accies. Haven't followed it since there were two teams from Dundee in the premier. :( Long live Dundee FC. Lol
