We were second in the early 80s Then plummet from 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo, Durie McCoist Up till early 90s every Scottish and English team entered the tournament had goal scoring Scotsmen in it So not as much surprise as looks maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place they may have scored quantitive goals (aside from McCoist) was for their clubs. Look back through history and it is embarrassing. I think you can count on the fingers of one hand the amount of Scots to have scored more than 20 goals for us. Considering we are one of the longest established football playing countries in the world it is damning. The last player to acheive that meagre feat retired a generation ago.

I'm talking about their clubs It's obvious hardly any of them reproduced it on the international stage That was kind of my point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like trying to win a war by fighting tanks with a peashooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
