Not many around these days but there was a time when every great team had at least one Scotsman in it. Where are the modern equivalents?

Dave Mackay
Alan Gilzean
Kenny Dalglish
Graeme Souness
Archie Gemmell

All integral players in the best teams of the day.

Others?

Most of the 1978 World Cup team. Until the tournament began anyway.

Davie Cooper - outstanding for Rangers

I guess the Celtic '67 European Cup Winners would be worth considering.

Probably hardly anything of note for nearly 20 years
