Depends on the structure of the club. Development of young Scottish players or throw loads of money at superstars around the world?
International players can make domestic players better with a good manager. ManU is a good example of young English players blending in with international superstars. Also in other leagues like Germany, Italy and Spain the majority of the teams are still local. A situation like Arsenal where the manager totally disregards the domestic player is quite rare.
If I were a Scottish player, I may be tempted to stay home and play in front of my fanatical fans if it were in the EPL.
