Someone who's a grown adult but never, ever been to Scotland is Scottish? 

Right you are, 

So when did fletcher, Maloney,gough etc first visit Scotland ?, Ritchie may have well wanted to visit Scotland before he played for us but circumstances prevented him from doing so. 

I work in Corby where there is a very high population of folk who moved down from Scotland and most of there siblings consider themselves to be half Scottish and would give there right arm to pull on the dark blue. Are you going to say they can't because they were not born here or not had the chance to visit

Good point. I guess nobody knows what his family circumstances were when he was younger or when he was chosen to join his club's academy. It's very easy to assume. Fact is he is eligible through his father, which is acceptable to 99.99999% of us and 100% of the ruling bodies. That's all that matters. And as a player, he's an asset to the current squad.

Don Hutchison tells the story that his father was very clear about what nationality he (Don) is, and he probably didn't visit Scotland much as a youngster. Ever heard anyone question big Don's credentials to play for Scotland??

I think he was sort of agreeing with you by pointing out that people are currently more mobile than ever, particularly so within the EU.

Scots have been leaving Scotland consistently for centuries to search for a better life; some people who post on this board fall into this category.  Other posters, for some reason, take great umbrage at the sons of such people being able to represent Scotland at football.

Scotlad you are correct. Glad someone could work that out.

Bit of conjecture but it would be interesting if he ended up at Celtic and formed a decent partnership with Griffiths whether that might persuade Strachan to play both of them up front.

Steven Fletcher released 

Now why would such an amazing striker (according to some on here) be released by a relegation battling club ? Surely they'd want to hang onto such a phenomenal talent ?

Truth is, the guy is a poor player.

You must have forgot about his hat-trick against the Giants of Gibraltar
