GOAT 30,449 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 How did he only get 3 caps? I'm stunned when I just read that. Who kept him out the Scotland team at left back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsonRFC82 305 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Probably looking at the likes of Maurice Malpas, Tom Boyd, Tosh Mckinlay...feel free to ask how the fuck!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT 30,449 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Probably looking at the likes of Maurice Malpas, Tom Boyd, Tosh Mckinlay...feel free to ask how the fuck!?Tom Boyd, aye a good player as much as it pains me to admit it. The other two, just naw.Robertson was winning league titles and cups and playing CL and European football, it's a disgrace he only won 3 caps.

HG5 11,766 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Didn't he say that he wasn't going to go on Scotland trips, just to warm the bench?If true, probably cost him a lot of opportunities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
left winger 15,235 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Malpas and Boyd were both good defenders. McKinkay was shite, but just had a look and he played for Scotland 22 times FFS!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eejay the dj 31,964 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I think it's safe to say under Walter ,if you weren't already established with Scottish set up .You had very little chance of getting a call up .Think we can trace the bias back to when Souness arrived and we started signing more English players.Think if they could get away with it .The whole team would be made up from Beggars, Sheep, Arabs and Hibs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copland bear 7,966 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Was great going forward as he had the speed, but his second touch was a tackle at times. Should have got more caps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
