What Scottish City Is Overperforming Or Underperforming In Terms of Trophies? Football Wise.

What Scottish City Is Overperforming Or Underperforming In Terms of Trophies? Football Wise. 
I am talking about the European trophies, the Scottish League title, the Scottish FA Cup, and the Scottish League Cup. 
If you look at the populations of Scottish cities.
Glasgow has done amazing in winning the vast majority of trophies via Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers. With both teams winning over 100 trophies,. Plus also Queen's Park of Glasgow have won 10 Scottish FA Cups on top of this.
Third Lanark and Partick Thistle have also won trophies,  
Glasgow performs way above what it should do. This is due to Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers having so many fans. 
In Europe, perhaps Glasgow has not won quite as many trophies as they should have done, with such domestic success.
Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Dundee are the next biggest cities. 
Aberdeen as a city  have done OK in terms of winning domestic trophies, but has overperformed in terms of European trophies. Aberdeen have won as many European trophies as all of Scotland combined. 
Dundee has done OK, with a few trophies for Dundee and Dundee United, but has only a UEFA Cup  final sport for Europe. 
Edinburgh has an OK record at winning trophies, with Hearts, and Hibs winning 8 league titles for Edinburgh combined. They have an OK record at winning cups and league cups, ion terms of domestic trophies But neither club has won or reached a European final in UEFA competitions. So they could do better.
Of the smaller cities and town, Kilmarnock has won 5 trophies so is over performing in terms of trophy wins. 
East Fife have won an amazing 4 trophies. For such a relatively small town of Methil, that is incredible. 
St Mirren, of Paisley, have won 4 trophies which is reasonable for one of the larger Scottish towns. 
While Dumbarton have an impressive 3 trophies. This is impressive for a small population settlement. 
Vale of Leven also have 3 trophies which is OK for such a small town club,.  

Of the bigger towns and cities in Scotland to have not won so much. East Kilbride is a new town, but has no major trophies for it's clubs. Glenrothes is in the same situation as a new town. 
While Stirling has not won any major national trophies despite being a relatively large Scottish settlement. 
Livingston have won one major trophy, despite being a new town settlement. 
Cumbernauld is a new town, that are home to Clyde who have won 3 Scottish Cups. But Clyde were in Glasgow when they won those major trophies. So they still have work to do.
