    Best and worst

    With the season being at an end and some shocking transfer rumours, I was just wondering who you guys think where the best player to ever play and not get a cap for Scotland. And also the worst player to get a cap?

    Best: Alex Edwards by a country mile.
    Worst: Garry Kenneth by a country mile.

    John McGovern won two European Cups for Nottingham Forest and never played for Scotland. Imagine that now?!!

    As for worst there's too many to mention. Barry Bannen must be one.

    It's annoying that he was great for his club as otherwise there would be no defence at all for the continuous capping of the international über huddy that wis Brian McClair

    John Collins when he was at Hibs. As soon as he was at Celtic he was in though.

    Crawford was a decent player , definitely not the worst.

    Lee Wilkie played 11 times for Scotland.

    This needs to be made into a best or worst 11.

    I'm struggling with the best version, but there's (sadly) a fair few shockers who were either capped or given a stupid number of appearances. Lee Wilkie with 11 caps? I can't imagine the self esteem hit that would've caused to any other uncapped Scottish defender.

    I know I just don't think he was good enough to warrant 25 caps.

    Yeah your right. A meaningless friendly after there was much clamour to give him a cap. As soon as he went to Celtic he was straight in the squad.

    Alex Edwards would win 100 caps today.
    Also Alan Gordon was chosen for a rest of the world team in a testimonial but not Scotland????
    Eric Stevenson also worth a mention.

    A quick google search gives out some interesting names and a few Hibby's mentioned.

    Quite incredible that Harry Hood never got a cap in that era, shows how blessed we were back then.

    Nice article. The Tommy Adams section could do with an update though re East Fife being the only club to win the Scottish Cup from outside the top league

    Kirk Broadfoot, sake man.

    Also Kevin Kyle, didn't Vogts give him his first cap before he even made a senior appearance for Sunderland?

    Notable mentions to Maurice Ross, Paul Ritchie, Matt Elliot, Gareth Williams, Steven Pearson.
