SpiderAlba Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Goes to Scotland away games doesn't he ? Debate about his goalkeeping abilities aside - Douglas has said a few times that he was always extremely proud to have played for Scotland That's good enough for me.

He missed his Daughter’s birth to go to a Scotland away game he was told he would play in. He never left the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never left the bench. I admire the big chap's commitment and obvious deep pride in playing for his country He was unfortunate to have been a Celtic panic buy back in 2000. They wanted a new keeper to challenge Gould and had spent weeks trying to get Man Utd's Mark Bosnich on loan only for him to turn them down at the last minute. So they ended up buying Douglas who was always rather out of his depth at Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Beem Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Apparently Brown alluded to his time at Celtic in less than complimentary terms. Pretty much easy to imagine the type of comment that would come out the mouth of a ‘rangers minded’ scumbag like Brown. allegedly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on the supporters train down to Wembley for the friendly we played a few years ago, when we lost 3-2. Seemed a really nice guy and put up with and joined in with the banter with a smile. Even helped intervene when a fight threatened to break out between 2 guys. He's oy the same height as me but a much bigger, stronger looking lad. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Rubble Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 He's also the indirect victim of a great quiz question. Name the first player to have scored direct free kicks against different goalkeepers in the same international game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McTeeko Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I mind he had a go a Rasperryheed on Off The Ball. Something along the lines of “Ah won the boy a car at Wembley - did he send me a bottle of champagne or whisky or anything? Naw. Nowt!” 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
