God knows why - hating this international break when it could be Hibs instead.

Anyway, rules are only one player from any club in any era. Player must preferably have been in their heyday at the club you select them from - eg Stanton at Hibs trumps Stanton at Celtc. So if you select Stanton in your 11 or 5 subs he takes out any other Hibs player if they were in their prime at Hibs. Any club in the world counts.

1. Goram at Rangers to start or Leighton at Man U?

Classic 4-4-2 here (with traditional numbers). All players from 93 onwards. Loads I'm working on just now so I'll have made loads of mistakes and I had to leave subs out!

1 Goram - Motherwell (Rangers era)
2 McKimmie - Dundee United (Aberdeen time)
3 C Davidson - St Johnstone
4 Le God - Marseilles
5 W Miller - Aberdeen
6 Colin Hendry - Dundee (Blackburn time)
7 D Cooper - Clydebank (Rangers era)
8 Gascoigne - Rangers
9 Dalglish - Celtic (Liverpool time)
10 Darren Jackson - Hearts (Hibs time)
11 Michael O'Neill - Ayr - Hibs time

That's a good team but I was talking about Scots only - and from any club in the world.

1. Goram at Rangers to start or Leighton at Man U?

Leighton was pretty ropey at Man Utd.

Goram was immense at Rangers, but it uses up your Rangers player that might be better taken elsewhere in the team.

Taking Goram whilst at Hibs might be a decent shout, or Roughy from Partick Thistle.

Goram (Hibs)

McGrain (Celtic)
Hendry (Blackburn)
Miller (Aberdeen)
Malpas (Dundee United)

Robertson (Forest)
Lambert (Borussia Dortmund)
Strachan (Man Utd)
Cooper (Rangers)

Archibald (Spurs)
Dalglish (Liverpool)

Maybe Denis Law of Torino for Archibald, or Jim Baxter for Davie Cooper?

Was torn between Miller or McLeish from Aberdeen.

It's tricky isn't it?

I don't know how you guys have managed to come up with an 11 that quickly, I'm still thinking about batches of players for positions!

Good team but I can't see the name Malpas without shuddering! Replace him with Eddie McCreadie from Chelsea please!

While I admire your partisanship AMC are you really saying Rough was our best keeper and had his best spell at Partick?

I would have Jim Baxter (Rangers) and Denis Law (Man United) in for starters. Dave Mackay (Spurs) is certainly worth a punt.

Why have none of the Famous Five got a mention?

I did consider Frank Haffey (Celtic) for goalkeeper but thought better of it.

Couldn't bring myself to pick Goram at Rangers. Almost went for Thomson Allan.

Have tried to go with players at the teams where they peaked (other than Andy Robertson at Hull) and probably a bias towards players in the 80s who I grew up watching. Defence is still an issue but abundance of top strikers.

1. Goram (Rangers)
2. Gough (Tottenham)
3. Robertson (Hull)
5. Hendry (Blackburn)
6. Miller (Aberdeen)
8. Strachan (Manchester Utd)
4. McStay (Celtic)
10. Collins (Monaco)
11. Sturrock (Dundee Utd)
7. Dalglish (Liverpool)
9. Nicholas (Arsenal)

Subs: M Johnston (Nantes); E Black (Metz); A Gray (Everton); Archibald (Hibs)

Thumbs up for the Jordan/Dalglish combo.
No mention yet of Jimmy Johnstone. Maybe 'cos he never seemed to be consistently at his best in a Scotland shirt?
Plenty mentions for Archibald but Griffiths wouldn't be far away in my book 'cos of his prowess with a free kick.
