There have been a few rugby players played for Scotland through the residency rule, Sean Maitland and Tim Visser spring to mind, with Pierre Schoeman from S Africa qualifying next year.

It's probably about as pragmatically Alex Miller-like as I get, but I can't be doing with fullbacks who can't defend. They're defenders, they need to defend. Anything offered going forward is a bonus.
Tavernier has actually played some glorious stuff going forward for Rangers against Hibs. He's also been directly individually culpable for as many goals we've scored as any player I can remember.
I'd genuinely rather have Paul McGinn playing there. Tavernier may have improved, or Rangers might have found a way to cover for his deficiencies, but every time we play them I still think we're most likely to get joy down his side as his attacking leaves his team wide open at times, and even when he's not miles up the park his positioning is often hopeless.

I am a believer that you have to have Scottish blood somewhere in you to play for our country.I know the egg chasers do it but its a form of cheating in my book.You go with what you have with a Scottish bloodline whether good or bad.

I've always thought he was a good player, but if he's not Scottish then I don't think he should be able to play for Scotland.

N.B. have just looked at the forwards in the Scotland squad and it's rammed with New Zealanders, South Africans, an Australian and lots of Englishmen.
Pragmatism is one thing but the SRFU have made the Scottish team irrelevant to Scotland.Last edited by CMurdoch; 19-10-2020 at 08:42 PM.

Anyone saying Paul McGinn is a better right wing back is having one also.

Tavernier got the biggest roasting by an opponent I’ve ever seen v Stokes 21/5/16. I’d rather have Paul McGinn or O’Donnell.

Whether or not he's good enough is irrelevant - he doesn't qualify.
Might as well debate who drops out of the team for Messi.

File under the same nonsense that Lorenzo Amoruso was wanting to play for Scotland

Jordan Rhodes was born in England to English parents but earned a number of Scottish caps due to the fact he was brought up and educated in Kinross when his father Andy played goalkeeper for Dunfermline and St Johnstone.
Andy was the Pars’ goalkeeper against us in the 1991 Skol Cup final. Also I seem to remember that he had a good relationship with Hibs supporters and would often applaud and acknowledge us during pre match warm ups.

Not born in Scotland
No blood ties
Not schooled in Scotland.
Qualified for another British country.
It’s a no brainer.
Post independence, he can be issued a Scottish passport then he can play. But until then. He’s English.

Dreadful slippery slope, if that criteria ever gets used then we can kiss goodbye to any bright prospects playing down south. Billy Gilmour playing for England?

If it was a possibility and we were to get round it there is absolutely no question that he'd be a major upgrade for Scotland. Anyone who says otherwise simply just isn't capable of taking their Rangers hating glasses off for a second to admit it.

There was a story last Year that Steve Clarke was speaking with Ryan Frederick's of West Ham. No idea what ever came off that. Could be a sound option for right back.

First requisite for a full back is defending and that’s where he’s weakest
