And fellow talkSPORT host Jim White says the Old Firm giants have to share some of the blame for the defeat, saying they have been too busy and too preoccupied by their revived rivalry to support the national team.Speaking on his show on Friday afternoon, Jim said: Scotland havent qualified for a major tournament since France ’98, where there were eight Celtic players in the Scotland squadCeltic and Rangers should be ashamed of themselves in terms of what they are doing, or NOT doing for the Scottish international scene.Celtic are too busy trying to dominate Rangers, keeping them at arms length and Rangers are too preoccupied trying to get back to compete again with Celtic.Celtic and Rangers are too busy under-cutting each other in terms of tickets for away fans at Old Firm games, its pathetic.And they are still trapped in sectarian bile Rangers fans quite recently having the finger pointed at them for verbally abusing Steve Clarke.Once they come out of the dark ages and realise they have a duty to serve Scotland, they might well progress.Alex McLeish’s future as Scotland manager is in doubt after Thursday’s stunning defeat2

However, not everyone agreed with the talkSPORT host, as former Arsenal star Perry Groves replied: Im not having that it is Celtic and Rangers job to produce players for the Scottish national team, Jim.As an Arsenal fan, I dont care if there are 11 Martians playing for Arsenal if we win the title.Its not the domestic clubs job to produce players for the national team.For Celtic and Rangers, its their job to be as good as they can be, no matter where their players come from.
