He can't really moan look at Scotland's latest Squad and the amount of players that aren't actually Scottish:

Matt Gilks - English
Phil Bardsley - English
Russel Martin - English
Shaun Maloney - Born in Malaysia, lived there until he was 5 so probably doesn't count
James Morrison - English
Steven Fletcher - English
Chris Martin - English

Nearly a third of the squad.
 
I'm pretty sure some Scots will have issues of English born players playing for them.

They will get a bad reception anyway, McQueen has just said what a load of Scots have been thinking.

Fair point, but to me it just seems that they are only making an issue out of mcgeady and mccarthy because they are good players. If they were crap and didn't stand a chance in Scotland's starting line-up it wouldn't be a problem
 

There's a young lad in the Madrid academy who lived in Spain his whole life but has declared for Scotland due to his parents. Good Promising player from all accounts. You can put money on it that McQueen won't have an issue when he starts playing for the senior team
 
Oh and here's a little gem off his Wikipedia page:
In February 1978, McQueen moved from Leeds to rivals Manchester United for £495,000.[2]On signing he famously stated that '99% of players want to play for Manchester United and the rest are liars'.[7] He had declared only weeks earlier in Shoot magazine that he wanted to stay at Leeds United for his whole career.


lol

I had heard that phrase before but didn't know McQueen had coined it.

Fletcher had a scouser as a dad in the army, he lived in various army camps throughout the UK and Germany. But when his dad died his Scottish mother moved the family back to Scotland when he was 10. He went through the Scottish education and football system.

He is more Scottish than McCarthy and Aids combined Irish heritage.

We should just pull them both out. Certainly McCarthy, if he's injured.

Leave our players alone Scotland. I hope Ireland riverdance them all over Celtic Park tearing them a new one.

Why do they hate us so much? I get the feeling it's because those Presbyterian tits view us as 'The Catholic club'.

Leave us alone and take your bile elsewhere.

Keep your heads up Aiden and James. You have our support.
 
McCarthy is just great isn't he, even when getting on peoples nerves he does it with the utmost class.
'McCarthy also spurned numerous approaches to declare for Scotland, telling the SFA it was his Donegal-born grandfather’s dying wish that he represented Ireland.'

If McQueen can't appreciate the reason McCarthy has decided to represent Ireland over Scotland then thats his problem not ours, now get over it Gordon you bell!
 
You have to hand it to the dumb ass Scottish FA, playing Ireland at Celtic Park. Oh dear. Will it be spot the Scottish supporter?
