With contributions from Roger Mitchell, David Taylor, Brian Quinn, Martin Bain, John Boyle, Lex Gold, Sandy Clark, John Yorkston and Graham Spiers, we examine the how the failure to secure a second Sky deal and the disappearance of SPL TV plunged the league into chaos as clubs were swamped by debts they could not hope to pay.

In 1971, 66 football fans died in one of Britain's most tragic sporting events ever, the disaster at Ibrox.

This is Scotland's Football Year of 1972 - a journey from tragedy to triumph.

1982: Viva Espana
The legendary Jock Stein took on the task of lifting a battered and beleaguered Scotland after the debacle in Argentina. His magic worked, and they qualified easily for the World Cup finals in Spain. The team was certainly transformed, packed with winners who between them held just about every domestic and European club honour. A true squad of champions - but were they world beaters? This is Scotland's Football Year of 1982 - Viva Espana.
