Blackpool FC Best Scottish XI

We've had some absolutely fantastic players from Scotland over the years and so I thought that I'd pick a best XI. Apologies if I've had to squeeze a few into unfamiliar positions but I think this lot would be tough to beat...on their day.

I've gone for a 4 -3 -3

Goalkeeper - George Wood
Back Four - Ewan Fenton, John McPhee, Hughie Kelly, Stephen Crainey
Midfield - Tommy Hutchinson, Charlie Adam, Tony Green
Forwards - Jackie Mudie, Jock Dodds and Allan Brown

Subs: Micky Mellon, Keigan Parker, Colin Methven, Steve McIlhargy,

I've not included players that only played a handful of games hence no Colin Hendry etc

The midfield looks tasty and the front three look hard as nails. Also the team includes players from the 1940s, 50s, 60s,70s and 2010s with subs from the 80s and 90s and 2000s.

Anyone do better? UTMP
 
Great shouts for Barry Feguson, Steven Dobbie and Matt Phillips. I'm not sure about George Farm! I'd have Matt Gilks in before him! I forgot Gilks played for Scotland to be honest!

Farm 10 years in goal through Pool's halcyon days in the old 1st division.

No George Farm? Scottish international goalkeeper?
 
Good shout for "Chopper" Mc Phee. If anybody had ever seen him defend well ...... It was brutal. Forwards from opposing teams would have been shall we say, really disappointed to see him on the team sheet. God bless.
