Half right on the managers. If your scenario was true there would've been 5 Scotland managers involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. When Strachan was captain at Leeds, McAllister wasn't captain of Scotland. By the time McAllister WAS captain of Scotland, Strachan was finished at international level.

No. McNamara only captained us once - v the Netherlands in the 2004 play-off. Paul Lambert didn't play. Lambert was Scotland captain between 99 and 2003, but McNamara wasn't Celtic captain until 04/05. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it won't help but did McNamara captain Celtic against Rangers in the first game after the draw in the Faroes or did I imagine that.

Sorry, I've no idea. He might have if the club captain was out for any reason but I wouldn't have a clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory was that Vogts didn't pick him as he had been on the bench for Celtic and that he captained Celtic in their first game after that. Having checked they didn't play Rangers the week after that so my memory is just as reliable as ever unless it was some other game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I came up with that actually as Aitken captained the team in games McStay had played in under Roxburgh. I've actually been trawling through Roxburgh's games on the national team archive on the SFA website. Looking at the Luxembourg one that was mentioned as one of the answers earlier, surely that is probably a worse result than the recent defeat in Kazakhstan?

I suppose given the team we had out you could argue that. Bloody freezing as well, must've been -10C with a wind chill on top! Nothing jumped out at you from these games?

I'm guessing not as it didn't register with me at the time the way the other ones did. I specifically remember McLeish on his 50th cap with Miller in the side but nothing similar about Leighton. Not to say I'm 100% right though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
