Scotland's Greatest Team?

[Colchester Kev]

Charlie Nicholas out because he was shit on the pitch AND in the commentary box ?

its interesting that if you just base this on their performances for scotland rather than their club performances you get a completely different team. murdoch ? baxter ? gilzean ? mcneil ? all fantastic players for their club but maybe didnt get the recognition in a scotland jersey the deserved.

hansen pushing for a place under that criteria?

He would be yes - but disqualified for his performances in the commentary box.

Not really, Miller & McLeish still win on both counts.

I was more thinking of a spot on the bench rather than ahead of miller and mcleish

would either of those 2 make it individually if the other one wasn't around or did they only really work in tandem

            Bill Brown[spurs]

          McGrain,     McLeish,     Miller,   Gemmell


        Johnstone,   Bremner,   Baxter,   Cooper


      Law,    Dalglish


     I really wanted to include John White of Spurs, But we need the hardness of Bremner.



   PS   I wish Messi had a Scottish Granny.

I'm maybe biased becasue I will nevere forgive Hansen's howler against Russia that once again kncoked us out in the group stages, but I have him behind at least miller, McLeish, Buchan, McQueen, Narey & Hegarty.

As for the Dons duo, absolutely, if they were playing today they'd both be earning over £50k a week at some big club, Miller was world class.

Archibald, Gough, Durie ?

Cant forget Dave Mackay ... or Alfie Conn

interesting....i have probably more reason to hate mojo than mccoist (although its all in the past now), but mojo as a player was streets ahead of mccoist. ally might have scored more poachers goals, but mojo really was different class.

Absolutely, McCoist nowhere near the player Johnston was.

Archibald despite being a Don, sorry no, not up there ahead of Law, Dalglish, Jordan & Mo Johnston.

Durie? LOL.

Agreed and Frank McAvennie was better than both. McClair was also better than McCoist.

Durie?

Not even close to inclusion IMO, his first touch often hit the ball further than some players could kick it!

Gough should be in though, better than Miller and McLiesh, probably the best centre half Scotland has ever had. Gough and McLeish would be a good pairing though but maybe a touch too much ginger in the team.

Will have a think about it and post my XI later. As god awful as we have been at times we really have had some great players through the years. I always remember my Dad telling me how shit the squad was at the 1982 world cup, most of them would stroll into the current team no problems, and it included genuine world class players like Souness and Dalglish.

Sorry, Gough isn't fit to lace Willie's boots, and he's not as good as McLeish either. Willie was world class, Gough wasn't.
