Project Brave elite named

THE clubs selected for the top tier of the SFA’s controversial Project Brave have reportedly been revealed. Celtic, Rangers, Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen, Motherwell, Hamilton and Kilmarnock have apparently been chosen as the eight elite clubs, which will receive priority funding. Meanwhile, the likes of Partick Thistle, St Mirren and Falkirk, all renowned for their youth policies, will be included in the second tier. The plan, which has met with some disapproval throughout Scottish football, is set to be finalised by January.
