The players I mentioned were all Rangers' supporters in their youth, but were somehow missed by scouts, despite all possessing significant ability. They used to say big Stein always signed the good Protestant leaving us with the second best 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 6,715 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) What a team! Lack of direction stymied abundance of talent. Here’s another good team that fell at the final play-off qualifier against Czechoslovakia in 1961. 2-4 after extra time. Connachan, Hamilton, Caldow, Crerand, Ure, Greig, Brand, White, St John, Law, Robertson. Eddie Connachan (Dunfermline) and Hugh Robertson (Dundee) were brought in for the injured Bill Brown and Davy Wilson. Had those two been fit, I’m sure Scotland would have won. Baxter was injured too so Greig got his place. Brand was in for Alex Scott also injured but at the peak of his form. Brand was a winger in his early days so his selection didn’t weaken the side too much. The Czechs went on to lose the Final in Chile 1-3 to Brazil.
