There have been literally hundreds over the years in the USA and Australia alone.

At the moment off the top of my head there is. Morgan Russell Mackay-Stevens in the US

Denis Law Joe Jordan were in Italy Mark McGhee was at Hamburg. Scott Booth at Dortmund as was lambert and Murdo McLeod. Alan McInally st Bayern Munich Jim Bett at Lockern as was Jim Tommie the lust is endless. Even today we have players in Germany and Italy

[1288Bear]

Bud Johnston - Vancouver Whitecaps.
Steve Archibald going to Barcelona still amazes me.

The one that came to mind (from before my time admittedly) was Joe Baker from Hibs who ended up with Dennis Law at Torino - then remembered that although he grew up in Scotland he was, in fact, English

 

[Souness86]

John Wark had a brief spell in France playing for the Allied Forces

 

[1288Bear]

He did - think he went to Austria first then went to Basle briefly

[UlsterScotGer]

Ian Ferguson and Stuart Munro both played in Oz.

Jamie Ness currently at Dundalk.

Jon Spencer in the States.

 

[Tonton Zola]

Robbie Winters another that went to Norway, same time as Miller if I remember correctly

 

[prenzlauerbear]

Pretty sure Stevie Lennon is still playing out in Iceland.

Came in to say this one. Supposedly regarded as one of the best foreigners to play in the Icelandic league.

I'm pretty sure Robbie Crawford played in some obscure leagues after leaving us.

Allan Johnston - Rennes
Chris Iwelumo - Alemannia Aachen

 

[Alfredo_Morelos]

[Deleted member 125]

[Jonathan E]

Derek Riordan played briefly in China.

Didn't like the food apparently -" Not like the proper Chinese food you get at home."

(In light of current events maybe he had a point.)

 

[Gordon1951]

How many of the players who played abroad became fluent in the local language where they played?

As a nation we seem to be collectively too thick to learn foreign languages.

 

[Growler]

Ziggy Gordon went to Poland.
