Maradonna is another but many more. Talent is the issue in most positions other than defence.
I dont think scotland players are that bad, they just aren't enough getting regular games at high enough level or style to cope in the cut thrust of high end football
The balance against celtic and (I say this reluctantly) Sevco is our defence play more advanced than international players would expect to be and its hard to adjust to the defensive requirements
And our attacking players aren't tested often enough at high level to be any good at helping the defence in one off games.
Or vice versa if Aberdeen or kilmarnock or any other club outside Celtic (and them) get game they are not tested enough to be ready for the break aways.
I think our actual players are decent enough
But its the contrast in styles between their club teams and internationals that they fail to adjust quick enough.
When Scottish players were spread through the clubs who play high standard then the players at international level dont need to adjust that much
Well thats my theory anyway
The need to stay in premier league forces most clubs to play ultra defensive since drop in league is very onerous
The whole structure needs rebalanced to help the teams be more inventive
Rather than wall football against stronger teams
You cant develop good habits if you are perpetually negative against teams that are stronger in theory
its 11 guys v 11
And although it might expose teams in short term I think it would make them better in long run
But sadly results get managers fired
And that culture isn't healthy for game or growth of talent domestically
