daviebee Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Name the games where Scotland have been captained by a player whose club captain has been playing in the same match. I'm aware of 5, there may be (and likely will be) more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Souness was Liverpool captain. Don't take the "same match" bit too much into consideration. They weren't always in different teams.

I’m sure Souness was Liverpool captain in 1981/82 so I assume all 3 games at the 82 World Cup would count as Alan Hansen and Souness played in them all.

No none of these would count. Question was... Name the games where Scotland have been captained by a player whose club captain has been playing in the same match. McGrain was captain for the New Zealand match and then Souness (who was also Liverpool captain) for the next 2 against Brazil and Russia. There should be 2 different players in the same match - one was captaining Scotland and the other was that guy's captain at club level.

Something at the back of my mind is saying Paul Lambert captained Scotland when his Celtic captain Tom Boyd was also playing but I could be talking absolute bollocks. I can’t remember the game anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct - McLeish was captain on the occasion of his 50th appearance v Luxembourg in 1987. 2 of mine down, 3 to go. One had a Liverpool connection and one of the others was relatively recently.

Dalglish captained Scotland at Wembley in 1979 by which time Thompson had taken over from Hughes as Liverpool captain and played for England that day. FFS must be hundreds of these things!

Leaves 2 games that I remember (and attended, so it's not some pre-war thing!). No doubt there'll be more from what we've seen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to say Thompson but had no idea he played that often for England. Or that Dalglish captained Scotland against England. fountain of knowledge this site. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviebee Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 1986 Scotland v Romania, 3-0 to us. Dalglish captained us on the occasion of his 100th cap. Liverpool captain Alan Hansen came on at half-time. One to go. Come on, folks - 4 Scotland managers were involved in the game that night.

Were the 4 Scotland managers involved Roxburgh, mcleish, strachan and Levein, meaning we’re looking at 1990-92? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
