The SFA are under attack after the decision to include Paul Gascoigne in their Hall of Fame.
The former England internationalist spent three seasons in Scottish football creating unwanted headlines as his career headed downhill.
Nominations are made from the public before being ratified by what is described as an expert panel.
On his home debut for the now defunct Rangers club he mimicked playing a flute in honour of the Orange Order that brings hatred to the streets of Scotland.
For beating women?

Wife beating, alcoholic, junkie bigot! Not a surprise the weegies have inducted him into their Hall of Fame. He was well past his best in Scotland and massively over hyped and over rated. A bit like George Best at Hibs!

After a red card in a Champions League tie against Ajax Gascoigne’s then wife Sheryl was badly beaten up while staying at Gleneagles HoteL. Gascoigne was sent off twice in European matches before he got a red card from a Scottish refereel.
As his life descended into a series of embarrassing alcohol related headlines Gascoigne has attempted to make a career out of appearing at Question and Answer sessions across the country.
Those appearances in Scotland have tended to descend into evenings of anti-Catholic abuse with the most recent disgrace happening in Alloa where the former England international led an audience with the in-famous ‘add-on’s’ to Tina Turner’s song Simply The Best
The Hall of Fame was introduced in 2004 with the Lisbon Lions include in 2017.
