I actually agree with you David that genealogy should come secondary to residency in today's world. But a couple of points:-
Andy Burnett's suggestion of no residency requirement for those born in Scotland does not seem compatible with residency before genealogy
Your view that the rules don't require a change seem at odds with your views regarding residency and those currently eligible.
While personally not adverse to a residency clause, if introduced, it should be applied to all and in equal measure. Otherwise it will be a case of all scottish international players are equal, but some are more equal than others.
