After all this talk of Morelos and most recently Kamara being targeted by English sides, it got me thinking of players from Scotland, not just the Old Firm, who have moved from Scotland to England and flopped.
I don't think there's many in recent times.
When you think of McGinn moving from Hibs to Aston Villa and now he's rumoured to be interesting Man Utd.
Ryan Fraser from Aberdeen to Bournemouth and now possibly to Liverpool.
Kenny McLean is playing most weeks for Norwich.
McArthur and McCarthy doing well for Palace.
John Fleck has been a stand out for Sheffield Utd for a few seasons.
Stuart Armstrong, Graeme Shinnie are squad players for their respective clubs.
Van Dijk moved a number of years ago and is touted as one of the worlds best defenders.
Barry Ferguson won a trophy down in England with Birmingham City. Alan Hutton didn't manage to nail down a place at Spurs but did very well at Aston Villa towards the end of his career.
Tierney has moved recently, and there's strong talk that Morelos and Kamara won't be too far behind - If all three of them can do well it will definitely see more players hit the radar of the wealthy clubs down in England.
I know I'm probably doing us and Celtic an injustice here, I know some people don't like to see us being a stepping stone - but it's sign of the times. Both clubs are very much buy small and sell big clubs right now and England is where the money is.
What players have made the move from Scotland to England and just outright flopped?
And are there any other players in Scotland who you can see attracting interest from England soon?
