World class players to have played in Scotland.

[Glasgowsteve]

The thread talking about Goram got me thinking about this the other day. It’s maybe one some of the older bears can help out with but how many genuinely world class players have played in Scotland? Has there been any playing for non-old firm sides?

 

[TonySoprano]

Dundee has one or two but I’m sure both played for rangers at one point or another

 

[The McLeod]

? Dundee had a rake including Claudio. Ravinelli etc.

Ravanelli and Cannigia?

Not necessarily world class, but Victor playing for St Mirren was a weird one as was Waddle at Falkirk.

[Ever Ready]

Gordon Strachan - Sheep

 

[sg9375]

Caniggia was at the end of his career at Rangers and still some player to watch. Can only imagine how good he would of been in his 20’s? Lightning quick.

Just about to post this, what a player

 

[The McLeod]

Law never played in Scotland.

Doh.

I think it's the image of him (b+w) in a Scotland strip that made me think it.


Okay. Percy Dawson - Hearts

* World record transfer fee when they sold him to England.

 

[steveski]

I'm sure I can remember in the early 80s Dumbarton (!!??!) tried to sign Johann Cruyff !

 

[Scarface]

Baggio.

Incredible piece of shit.

 

[Chunky Dawz]

Steve Archibald played for Spurs, Barca and Espanyol and about 500 sh1tty teams in Scotland during his career. Maybe not world class but a strong CV for a lad from Rutherglen.

 

[CD7]

Does Gerrard count? He did pull on the famous blue jersey a few months ago...

 

[Govanhighfp]

Charlie Cooke, great player

 

[Dingmeister]

Certainly Trevor Steven was playing at a fantastic level when we sold him to Marseille

 

[lanarkshire_bear]

nope sorry Arthur

Artur Numan wasn't a world class left back?

 

[StaunchyAF]
