Scotland's uncapped players: Rangers cult hero, Celtic stalwart, Crunchie and the mavericks

Kevin McAllister will be honoured by Falkirk with a stand dedicated to his name opening this week.

Revered in the town, ‘Crunchie’ was admired by many fans across Scottish football for his wing trickery – but famously never capped. The south stand at The Falkirk Stadium will be re-branded and dedicated to his Bairns career in a friendly match with Kilmarnock on June 24.

He was not the only surprise omission from squad-after-squad as many prominent players’ careers ended without international appearances.

Inexplicable, surprising or just plain unlucky, some, like the famous case of Tosh McKinlay at Hearts, had to move clubs to be noticed. Others were not so fortunate.

Here we look back on 10 of the best uncapped Scottish players – two who DID gain honours as ‘over-age players’ but many more from bygone eras are missing from our short list, as well as the SFA roll call.
