Former Scotland and Rangers striker Kris Boyd has warned we have still to hit rock bottom.
The legendary goalscorer watched Steve Clarke's side suffer another hammering, this time to Belgium in the 4-0 Euro 2020 qualifying defeat.
But Boyd fears worse could yet come as he surveyed the wreckage of another Hampden loss.
He is worried there are still not enough players coming through and in a no-hold barred verdict the 36-year-old let rip on Sky Sports.
Boyd lashed out at how football has become a middle-class sport as he raged: "Yes we've got Billy Gilmour coming through but there is the same players making mistakes after mistakes.
"We've not hit rock bottom.
"But we're well out of it. The price of football boots, to attend camps - it's a middle class sport. It's worrying how much it costs to play football. Everywhere you see it's no ball game signs. Why? It costs an absolute fortune to play football.
"We're hurting our kids.
"Belgium had a plan. They came over when I did my pro licence. They evolved and got everyone buying into it what they were trying to do.
"Here we have everyone trying to get a bit of it. There are too many organisations. If we don't have everyone buying into it then it could get worse. We've not hit rock bottom."
Boyd blasted the robots coming though the Scottish system and added: "I keep hearing week on week we've got great players but the rest of the world think they're bang average.
"Dries Mertens was too small a guy and could have given up.
"Now he's starring in Serie A. They have fantastic players.
"They're all robots now. Nobody's learning the game now. We don't have any defenders or strikers. Would James McFadden achieve it now?
"I keep saying it but we've still to hit rock bottom."
