The manager of Ross County blasted Scottish Football and received a lot of backlash.
Hibs will shortly play a team that is ninth in the league right now and has received harsh criticism from their own boss. The Dingwall team’s new manager, Derek Adams, definitely put his imprint on the event, criticizing the caliber of Scottish football. His remarks have been condemned by other analysts within the sport. Ross County recently fell 1-0 to Dundee following a 96th-minute winner.
In his first game back in command of the Victoria Park team, Adams replaced Malky Mackay. Following the match, the former Ross County midfielder told the BBC, “I’ve left a team down in League Two that’s miles better than this team.” Miles. That is a significant statement. They were a hundred times better than this, yet we had the lowest budget in League Two.
“As a spectator witnessing this today, I wonder, ‘Is this the essence of Scottish football?’ It has to step it up. The caliber of work is astounding.”
Both the former Scotland coach and the former manager of Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Neil McCann, quickly corrected Adams’ outburst, saying the 50-year-old former midfielder could soon get a call from his chairman.
McCann stated, “He may have some questions from his Chairman tonight.” Many of his remarks there are ones with which I completely disagree. I can only conclude that his appraisal of the match is incorrect because Dundee has emerged victorious in every statistic, so his assessment of Scottish football is also incorrect in my opinion. It’s quite rude that he brought up Morecambe and said that team was 100 times better.”
McFadden promptly concurred, saying: “It’s your team, you can pretty much do what you please. If you’re going to come out and criticize your own team, that’s up to you. However, I believe Derek Adams is miles off the mark when it comes to the caliber of football played in this region. We have some excellent players in the league, so if he’s not happy with his team, fine, stick with them and don’t involve anyone else.
“In European football, this week has been outstanding. In order to win their group and advance to the Europa League round of 16, Rangers defeated Real Betis in Seville, while Aberdeen was eliminated but managed to defeat Eintracht Frankfurt. Celtic also achieved a favorable outcome against Feyenoord. Moreover, on a day when Hearts visit Celtic Park and triumph.
“This is a strong league. Though Morecambe would visit this place and defeat Ross County, they would not participate in the Scottish Premiership. After the game, I believe Derek is quite emotional, and I hope he can take stock of it and admit he was wrong.
“He ought not to have been so general about the entire league. Whatever you want to say about your squad, our league is good. I believe he will regret it because this league has some incredibly talented players.”
