Best (non-Old Firm) Foreigners to Have Played In Scotland


Recommended Posts

In your opinion who are the best non-Old Firm foreign players to have played for a team in Scotland ?

Remember, it's the best foreign players that never played for the Old Firm !

English, Welsh and Irish players will also count as "foreign" for discussions sake.

Foreign lower league legends can get an honourable mention too.

Gilles Rousset would be one I'd nominate. Top goalie for Hearts.

George Best at Hibs.

Zoltan Varga at the Dons. As mentioned, Hans Gillhaus....European cup winner and Dutch internationalist, left PSV to sign for Aberdeen :o.

I would have mentioned Theo Snelders, who was up there with Leighton as the best keeper ever to play for Aberdeen, but he made the bizarre mistake of signing for Rangers.

Most recent team[edit]

A Scottish League XI was last selected in 1990, by Dundee United manager Jim McLean.[18] The following team, dominated by players from the New Firm of Aberdeen and Dundee United, was selected by McLean:[18]

was pointing toward snelders, kozma & gillhaus

 

although see from above snelders ended up at rangers, which I somehow missed/forgot

 

at that time our non OF clubs were able to attract some players who weren't just in decline looking for a pay day

Did they have to play well in Scotland? Or just be a player who achieved greatness before or after being in Scotland? Eg  kasper Schmeichel won the premier league last year, Danish international, played 15 x for Falkirk.

Aye, was thinking more that they had to have played well in Scotland during their time here.

Good for the clarification, ta.

 

Was ravenelli any good at Dundee, can't remember, so probably not. Heck of a player elsewhere though
