Scottish Players in action 25/26

[bdgsct]

Strange to see Liverpool overhauling thier forward line after winning the league. Nunez, Doak and Elliot linked with moves. I think for game time Doak should move.

[Tartan blood]

Hearts starting with 6 Scots and brought 2 on off the bench. That probably would have been a record last season for any team!

He definitely needs to move or else waste time bench warming (at best) at Liverpool. He impressed yesterday but we saw where he was in the pecking order playing for (effectively) the reserves. He deserves and needs more.

The rest of the team must've been sensational as Flashscores has Doak at the lowest rating of all the Liverpool starting 11!

I think Flashscores starts a player on -2 if there's a Saltire next to his name🙄

Yeh I noticed that as well. I think his rating was 6.2.

And a couple of Dembelés, one at QPR, one at Oxford. Not central strikers but still attackers. Steve Clarke could be spending a lot of time in the Championship.

Oh wow. When was the last time a Scot was nominated? Don't think Andy Robertson ever was.

80s?

I think dalglish had a few nominations during that decade. Came 2nd or 3rd one year but was never going to beat platini. I think it was 83 and Strachan also came 4th that year.

I remarked on this too. It remains to be seen whether Clark will continue to be our No 1 keeper, and Forrest’s first team chances will be limited once our new wingers bed in. But Halkett, Findlay, Milne and Shankland look likely to start most games, and Wilson will get game time off the bench.

We were also linked with Lewis Mayo recently, but he plays mostly CB and RB is where we are light (Forrester is meant to be going to St J on loan).

Apparently Ally McCoist was the last Scot to be nominated, back in 1987.

Have there been any non-Scots, playing in Scottish premier league, nominated since then?

Maybe laudrup or larsson.

Yes, those two sprang to mind, I didn't get round to asking the internet yet, though.

[exile]

Well I looked it up and you (we) were correct - Laudrup and Larsson (Larsson also won the 'golden shoe' in 2001).

It seems there were several others who played here, but only one who was nominated while actually playing in Scotland - Theo Snelders.

It seems there was a raft of Rangers players who were nominated only before they joined Rangers, and in one case (Gattuso), afterwards.

Bowie impressive again for Hibs tonight, looking every inch an international player at present. Strong as an ox, ragdolled the Serbs all over the pitch

Pat Bonner was nominated the same year as Snelders.
