As much as you don't like it it's true, there are only ever going to be 2 teams winning the premiership in Scotland ie the uglies, the 2 best teams in the country by a long way, not a healthy situation but it's the truth.
Neither of them lose games very often and very rarely if ever do they lose more than once a season to a team unless its against the other ugly.
So yes anything the other 10 teams get from either of them is a bonus, GA can prepare the team all he likes, great mental attitude etc but the truth is they are a much better team, a positive attitude is great but if you don't have the ability to back it up most of the time you lose.
