What about Steve Saunders. Capped in 2010 against the faroes, when he was only about 20 year old.
I don't even remember him! Just saw his name on Wikipedia as someone with one cap.

We (Scotland) could do with Gordon Hunter these days. Miles better than any current Scottish centre half but unfortunately there was some pretty serious competition back in his day. He would tangle with, and get the better of McCoist and Hateley at a weekend before that pair would get the better of the English Champions (and teams of that quality) in Europe through the week.
Ian Black in a Scotland shirt at Easter Road was about as clever a move from Levein as 4-6-0 was.

I’m really not sure about players who were capped that shouldn’t have been, there have been a small legion of them. Two great players who never received the accolade though:
John McGovern
A player who won a host of silverware including two European Cups and Championship trophies with two smaller, unfashionable clubs in Nottingham Forest and Derby County. McGovern often had fierce competition for a Scotland midfield berth in the likes of Souness, Hartford, Archie Gemmill, John Wark and so on. Souness said that the Montrose man was the most difficult midfield opponent he had faced. Never a flashy player he did the simple things right and was the consummate team man, always supporting his teammates, always available for the ball. He was the glue in the great Forest side among more naturally talented performers.
He once claimed that Ally MacLeod wasn’t even aware he was Scottish!
Alan Gordon
Another is our own classic centre forward, of Turnbull's Tornadoes fame. Tall, elegant and a great header of the ball. Utterly underrated by the Scotland selectors

I'm going for a contrasting pair approach.
