Scottish football was much more a force to be reckoned with back then compared to today. Hardly a backwater.

I think it's a bit much for Everton to claim they in particular had their entire future trashed by it.

Based on a man in a pub claiming this, not Everton claiming it. I'm certainly not claiming it. It didn't help of course.

Was about to say the same. In the mid to late 80s Scottish teams were doing very well in Europe, I think both Dundee Utd and Aberdeen reached finals then, with the latter winning the Cup Winners Cup (I think?) when Alex Ferguson was in charge. The decline in Scottish football has been relatively recent.
