The Scottish FA's 'Made In Scotland?' forum, led by Ian Ian Maxwell and Craig Mulholland, will plead with Premiership clubs to give young Scottish players more chances. The article highlights Robbie Ure's case — a talented teenager allowed to leave Rangers for just £3.5m, now courted by Sevilla for nearly £8m. With only 31% of players in the opening Premiership rounds being Scottish and just 5% aged 21 or under, the problem is clear.

Clubs cite investment in local development, yet many recruit journeyman foreigners instead. The SFA's 114-page 2024 report and the 133-page 2025 follow-up both argued for more game time for academy players, but were largely ignored. The forum represents a last chance to shift thinking before the next season.
