Added context is mine. Its like he wants the SNP to take over Holyrood next year. Not doing his little Englander image any good in Scotland with comments like this, just another colonialist

What’s the likelihood of Scotland being allowed EU membership though?
The hard part would be imposing a customs border between it and the rUK (they’re economically tightly integrated). Beyond that, there’s no queue, so they wouldn’t be waiting behind Azerbaijan or something, and their institutions either already meet EU standards or are close to doing so.
The hard part would be preventing Spain from using its veto. The customs border would be merely nearly impossible.
I suppose so! I guess the big issues would be the deficit (and the exact methodology accepted to calculate this, timelines to resolve, etc), and the possibility of a veto by another member state not wishing to encourage the splitting up of larger nations.
I know that Spain have previously said they won’t block, provided a vote of independence is constitutional, but that would also rely on UK Gov. recognising it, I guess?
The cards are up in the air. Reach out, you might catch an ace.
This is true. You don’t find out if you don’t try!
Probably very low. They aren’t even close to meeting the entry criteria.
Are they not? I’ve read various things stating that they almost already meet most requirements (being ex. EU anyway).
