List of Scotland international footballers

Add article description

The Scotland national football team is the joint-oldest international football team, having played in the first official international match, a goalless draw on 30 November 1872 against England.[1] Since then, the team has established a long-standing rivalry with England, particularly in the annual British Home Championship, which Scotland won 24 times outright and shared a further 17 times.[2] The team has enjoyed less success in continental and global competition. Even though Scotland has participated in eight FIFA World Cup and three UEFA European Championship final tournaments,[3] the team has never progressed beyond the first round of any major tournament.[3][4]

For players of the Scotland women's national football team, see List of Scotland women's international footballers.

Kenny Dalglish, the only man to have won more than 100 caps for Scotland, was the only Scottish player named in the FIFA 100.[5] Denis Law, who shares with Dalglish the record for the most goals scored for the national team, is the only Scottish player to have won the European Footballer of the Year award.[6]

This list includes all players with 10 or more appearances for the national team. When a player makes their 25th appearance, they are presented with a commemorative medal.[7] The Scottish Football Association also maintains a roll of honour for players who have won at least 50 caps.[8] This distinction was launched in March 1998, when 11 players had already achieved that mark.[8]

    The Scottish FA website merges the statistics of John Campbell (born 1872) and John Campbell (active in the 1880s) into a single profile.

    There is some uncertainty over the sixth Scotland goal in a 7–3 win over Ireland in 1929: both Hughie Gallacher, who had already scored four times, and Alex James went for the ball at the same point. Correspondence between Queen of the South FC and the Scottish Football Museum in 2016 favoured Gallacher, stating "Hughie himself was insistent that the goal was his, claiming that as he and Alex James (who was a good friend of his) were of a similar build (and of course in 1929 there were no numbers on the jerseys), it was easy for pressmen to make a mistake". James remains credited with the goal in some sources, including the Scottish Football Association website profiles, while the Scottish Football Hall of Fame include the contradictory statement that Gallacher's total was 23 goals but that he scored a record five in a match against Ireland.

    The Scottish FA website merges the statistics of Jimmy Simpson (born 1873) and Jimmy Connor (born 1908) into a single profile.

    The Scottish FA website merges the statistics of John White and Jock White into a single profile.

    The Scottish FA profile omits a goal scored by Andrew Wilson on 10 April 1920.
  6. [N 6]
    The Scottish Football Association archive credits the 3rd Scotland goal in the 9–3 match to Davie Wilson, and footage from the match (Footage #1 – 2:05 and Footage #2 – 1:29) appears to confirm this; most sources (and the contemporary commentary on the footage) credit the goal to Pat Quinn
  7. [N 7]
    The Scottish FA profile omits a substitute appearance by George Young on 15 May 1946.
