  • In 2002, lower-league Scottish team Gretna FC were purchased by millionaire Brooks Mileson. Under his ownership, they experienced an incredible rise, achieving three successive promotions that took them to the Scottish Premiership. Unfortunately, their lavish dreams would soon turn sour and tear the club apart.

    People in Scotland slagged off Gretna for doing this but as long as Celtic and Rangers dominate it will get worse. Too many Scottish fans are glory hunters who won't support their local teams.

    RIP Gretna. I fell in love with their story back then and I would always look out for their results. Kenny Deuchar (or, the Good Doctor, as Jeff Stelling referred to him, because he was still a practicing GP while playing for them) was an absolute BEAST upfront! In his first season he scored 38 goals in only 30 games, and even scored 11 goals in a friendly once.

    Awww. I remember Gretna. It's awfully similar to the story of Rangers, who died in 2012. I believe a new version of them exist now.

    It’s weird in a way getting to top of Scottish football was probably the downfall of the club.
