Who was the last top class scottish footballer?

[Allezfan]

Don't get me wrong I love Dunc but he was never one of the best in the world and since then, scotland have been about as good at nurturing talent as Michael J Fox's dart coach.

So who was the last scottish footballer who could actually walk into any team in the world?

Darren Fletcher, Paul Lambert, Gordon Strachan, Graeme Sharp, Denis Law, Jimmy Johnston, Asa Hartford, Jim Baxter, Paul McStay?

Strachan for me, I think. Last of the truly great scottish midfielders. They'll never see his like again.

John Collins was pretty decent

how can you say this? we are not talking about Pele? Of course the country has the capacity to produce a player to Strachan's ability.

James McCarthy looks like he could be a top player.

Colin Hendry and Richard Gough were very decent central defenders.

Does anyone remember Davie Cooper in the 80s think he went to the 86 world cup. He was quality
