I have to agree about the perils of tipping players on the basis of their youthful potential. When I first saw Martin Bavidge as a raw 17 year old, him not me, I told everyone who would listen that the lad would be a Scotland regular within 3 years.

You were sort of right : Peterhead is in Scotland.

well here's a question to get us going....Would Robson have been picked for Scotland if he was still playing for ICT or is is just because he pulls on green hoops so he must be worthy of a place?

I think its the fact his form and ability have earned him a move to Celtic and the fact he has held his own there that see's him in the squad. Its not merely the fact he plays for Celtic otherwise Wilson would get a call up.

The same could be said of Broadfoot. I think although hes' a bit of a clumsy full back he really has improved and made McGeady look like the average player he is in the last old firm game (barring Celtics 1st goal). But he has held his place in the team which played in the latter stages of Europe and not been replaced. So he got a call up and scored on his Scotland debut.
