John Collins was Celtic assistant manager for two yearsScottish teams suffer from a lack of training, says former Celtic assistant manager John Collins. "Professional is not just training in the morning and going home at lunchtime, that's not what I class professional," said Collins. "All the full-time clubs in Scotland, how many are training in the afternoon if they're playing one game a week? Players eat, sleep and train correctly but I know there's a lot throughout Scotland that probably don't." "I thought I was a professional football player until I was 28," he told the BBC's Scottish Football podcast.
