Scotland’s squad for last week’s Nations League play-off clash with Greece included no less than six players currently playing for clubs outside of Britain, with Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour and Che Adams all in the starting line up, and Lewis Ferguson, Scott McKenna and Max Johnston among the substitutes.
However, while the aforementioned sextet have become the poster boys for ‘Scots Abroad’, they certainly aren’t the first to have opted to take their careers abroad recently, and are just three of 32 Scotland-born footballers playing their football abroad.
With players currently playing in Italy, Belgium, Spain, India, America, Canada, North Macedonia, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria, there’s no doubt that Scotland are represented the world over.
Here are 32 Scottish players who are playing their football abroad.
