Scotland could have been looking forward to their first major finals of the century had it not been for the coronavirus pandemic.Steve Clarke's men still have a Euro play-off campaign to look forward to but in the absence of any clarity over the date, the lockdown has been a chance to reflect on past glories.Here, Gavin McAfferty attempts the task of selecting the 10 greatest Scotland players - based on their contribution to the national team rather than club achievements.
9. Denis Law
Scotland's joint top goalscorer with 30 goals in 55 games. He made his international debut aged 18 and finished it off at the 1974 World Cup finals 16 years later. Highlights included four-goal hauls against Northern Ireland and Norway, a strike in a 6-2 win over Spain in Madrid and goals in three consecutive games against England culminating in Scotland's 1967 Wembley win.

10. George Young
The first Scotsman to break the 50-cap mark, Young was part of Rangers' famous 'Iron Curtain' defence and captained his country on 48 occasions. In the days when selection committees picked the team, Young's influence was huge. The powerful defender made 53 appearances between 1946 and 1957 but was unfortunate not to feature at a World Cup. The Scottish Football Association declined to travel to the 1950 finals in Brazil. Photo: Central Press
