What Scottish Premiership is like to manage in
The average age across the division is 25.3, which puts it mid-table for experience: a few veterans to move on, a core with years left. It is a top-heavy division — 14.6 rating points separate the best first eleven from the worst — so taking a club from the bottom half to a title is one of the harder saves in the game. 66 players aged 21 or under still have meaningful growth left, drawn from 56 different nations.
