Which is your choice Scottish League Football Team?

When I was a child I stayed in Stirling a lot,so all my life I've looked out for Albion results. Then a couple of years ago Sunderland got to Wembley and I saw a picture of Stirling Albion fans with a massive Sunderland flag,two SAFCs together. Never felt the same about them since,felt betrayed.

None, but if I was forced to choose then it would be Hibs for the Mogga connection, the Irvine Welsh connection and the fact that I lived round the corner from Easter Road back at the turn of the millenium.

My son's just moved to Edinburgh and lives just off Leith Walk not far from Easter Road. I was up there last weekend. Great views of Carlton Hill and Arthur's Seat from their flat. My cousin's son has recently signed a professional contract with Hibs as well.

My Scottish (but English) team is Berwick Rangers, being from Berwick.
 
My dad was a Queen of the South season ticker holder when he lived in SW Scotland. It was £65 a year in the early 00s. He always enjoyed going but he was a Boro supporter at heart and he always said watching The Doonhammers (cool name) was like going down to Meadow Lane to watch Marske Utd. So I show a passing interest in QotS for that reason and that reason only.
 
Queen of the South was the team my dad supported - even when he moved South to Middlesbrough, he never followed or supported Boro - me Mam did though and had a season ticket x. - i look for QotS results every game.

That team who play in Dingwall (ross county) they have a ground that has more seats than the towns population !!
 
Queen's Park for me - The Spiders are the only Scottish team to have reached the FA cup final (twice).

Hibs and Hearts? Nah...fans equally as sectarian as the Glasgow pair.
Aberdeen? A particularly unpleasant set of supporters.
 
Livingston

As a child i was fascinated with the league tables. I used to have the league ladders that came with the Shoot Magazine, id get the Shoot magazine regularly and enjoy spending ages looking at the League tables. I would be forever looking at them on teletext as well and even spent hours reading a history of football book my dad had which had all the league tables from start back in 1890 or whatever it was right up until 1982 which is when the book was published. Id often pick a random team and follow their journey from the start.

Anyway, back to the point in question. I remember one shoot magazine and seeing a team called Meadowbank Thistle at the bottom of the Scottish pyramid. I then remember them always being bottom - this probably isn't the case and my childhood memory is over exaggerating it. Anyway, i'm sure they reformed as Livingston and went on a hell of a journey, only bettered by Gretna but they stuck around and i have looked out for them ever since.
 
Hibs, me and my Darlo supporting mate used to have regular trips up to Easter Road also like Berwick Rangers too as I lived there for a few years as a kid
 
I used to go to Cove Rangers when I lived up there, but they were Highland League in those days.
 
Dunfermline after going there for a preseason friendly many years ago.
Got looked after so well getting there early in the morning.
Manager let us in and watched a light training session then took us in office for a dram.
