Ally McCoist

Super Ally is Rangers' most capped player for Scotland. He was a faithful servant for his country, between making his debut against Holland in 1986 until he bowed out against Estonia in 1998.

He played 61 times, scoring 19 goals. He played in all three games of our ill-fated World Cup campaign in Italy in 1990 without hitting the target.

He also played in every game of the European Championship Finals in Sweden in 1992, but again failed to get on the scoresheet.

He made amends for a disappointing track record with a sensational long-range strike in a 1-0 win over Switzerland at Euro '96.

One of the most decorated players in Scottish football history after 15 trophy-laden years with the Gers, he hung up his boots after a final spell with Kilmarnock and moved into television.

Returned to football in 2007 to be a Scotland coach when Walter Smith was appointed manager. Helped revive the fortunes of the national team.

Followed Smith back to Rangers when he took charge for the second time at the start of last year. Tipped to take over as boss at Ibrox when his mentor retires.

Big Slim is synonymous with two clubs - Hearts and Rangers. The big centre half spent two spells at both Ibrox and Tynecastle over 18 years.

He became a Scotland regular in that time and played in all three games for his country in both the World Cup in 1990 and European Championship in 1992.

His international career was, though, brought to an unceremonious end after the national team was thrashed 5-0 by Portugal in 1993. Wound down his playing career at Carlton in Australia and Morton.

Spent a short spell in charge of the Ton at a turbulent time off the park for the Cappielow club. Since then, he's worked as an agent.

The Leeds-born Everton midfielder had Scottish parents and made his debut for his adopted homeland in a friendly win over Argentina in 1990. He had previously been picked to play for both the English and Scottish Under-21 sides on the same day in 1984 - and chose to turn out for the former.

Still, the Tartan Army took to the tough-tackling midfield dynamo. He played in the World Cup in Italy and scored what turned out to be his only international goal against Sweden in a 2-1 victory.

Also took part in every game in the European Championships in 1992 and 1996. Won 40 caps. Moved to Rangers in 1991 and was an integral member of the side which won Nine-In-A-Row.

Returned to Bradford City, where he had started his career, in 1998. Played there for another four years. Spent another two years at Sheffield United before retiring. Appointed manager at League Two club Bradford last year.

How many Scotland caps would Richard Gough have won had he not had a very public fall-out with manager Andy Roxburgh and his assistant Craig Brown?

Between 1983, when he made his debut against Switzerland, and 1993, when he played in an ill-fated showdown with Portugal, the Dundee United, Spurs and Rangers centre half amassed 61 appearances for the national team.

When you consider that he played on until he was 40 with Everton it is not fanciful to suggest he could have succeeded Kenny Dalglish as our record cap holder.

Unfortunately, the Swedish-born defender claimed a taxi driver had given Roxburgh his tactics ahead of the 5-0 defeat in Lisbon.

Despite declaring himself available for selection after Brown took charge, he was never picked again. Skippered the Gers to Nine-In-A-Row in between moving to US to play in the MLS for Kansas City Wizards and San Jose Clash.

Returned to Britain to play for Nottingham Forest and was snapped up by former boss Walter Smith who was at Everton at that time.

Spent a year in charge of Livingston in season 2004/05. Currently divides his time between his family in the United States and Scotland.

The Aberdeen right back was an ever-present in the Scotland set-up between 1989 and 1996. He played in the World Cup in Italy 1990 and the European Championships in Sweden in 1992 and England in 1996. Won 40 caps. Scored one memorable goal in a friendly win over Argentina at Hampden in 1990.

After winning every domestic honour and the European Super Cup with Aberdeen he left the club in 1997 and wound down his career with Dundee United.

Now a media pundit for Northsound Radio.

The left-back broke into the Scotland set-up in his final season at Motherwell in 1990. He was one of the first names down on the team sheet over the next 11 years until he retired from international football in 2001.

This 3-0 win over the CIS was his only appearance at the European Championship in Sweden. But he would play in every match of the same tournament in England in 1996 and in the World Cup in France in 1998.

Tom scored an own goal in a 2-1 defeat to holders Brazil as Scotland played in the opening game in Paris.

Won 72 caps and scored one goal.

Moved from Chelsea to Celtic in 1992 and spent 11 memorable years at Parkhead. Was club captain in the Martin O'Neill era. Skippered the Hoops to only the third Treble in their history in season 2000/01. Retired in 20002. Now a pundit for Celtic TV and a club youth coach.

The Dundee United midfielder came on for Ally McCoist in this win over the CIS. As a boy, Glasgow-born Jim had started at Celtic before moving on and playing for Dundee and then down south with Nottingham Forest and Coventry City.

He really came to the fore at United after he moved to Tannadice in 1986. He starred for the Tangerines for seven seasons and helped them win the Scottish Cup in 1994.

He wound down his playing career with Raith Rovers, Dundee and East Fife. Moved into management with Sligo Rovers in Ireland in 1999.

Had soon returned to Scotland to take up a post as a youth coach at Celtic. Joined Morton as manager in 2004 and helped the Cappielow club win the Second Division title last season. However, after a run of poor results in the 2007/08 campaign he parted company with the Ton. Now in charge at Third Division East Stirling.

Craig was a talented midfielder who played for Aberdeen, Sheffield Wednesday, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Swansea City, Carlisle United and Hibs in a lengthy career.

He was capped once by Scotland against Switzerland in 1976. Moved into coaching at Hibs after he hung up his boots.

Was assistant to Billy McNeill when Celtic won the double in their centenary year in 1988. Spent a spell as No. 2 to Roy Aitken at the Dons. Moved on to coach at Newcastle United after that.

Also involved in the national set-up and served as Scotland Under-21 coach for a spell. Was right-hand man to ex-Hoops star John Collins during his brief spell as Hibs manager last year. Craig took over as caretaker manager for a brief spell following Collins' resignation, but is currently out of football.

Assistant manager Brown succeeded Roxburgh as boss after the infamous defeat to Portugal the year after this picture was taken.

Despite not being a hugely popular appointment, the former Rangers, Dundee and Falkirk player and Clyde coach enjoyed a successful spell at the helm.

He led the national team to the European Championship in England in 1996 and the World Cup in France in 1998. He resigned after failing to take the country to the World Cup in Japan and South Korea in 2002. It was only after Berti Vogts took over that the Tartan Army realised how good a job Broon had done.

Appointed Preston boss in 2001 and spent three years at Deepdale. Joined the coaching staff at Derby County after that. Now a media pundit.

Former East Fife, Hibernian and Chelsea striker Jukebox was leading the line at Spurs when he took part in this tournament.

But the following year he would join Rangers and it was during his seven seasons there that he will most be remembered. Won every honour in the Scottish game with the Ibrox club. Was also an extremely useful player for Scotland. Played in the first two games of Euro '92 against Holland and Germany. Took part in every game of Euro '96 and France '98.

The 3-0 defeat to Morocco in the final game of that latter tournament was the last of his 43 caps. After helping the Gers win Nine-In-A-Row he finished off his career with a stint at Hearts. Now a youth coach at Murray Park.

Having won 78 caps - only Kenny Dalglish and Jim Leighton played more for Scotland - Big Eck returned to manage the national team last year. He carried on the good work done by predecessor

Against all the odds, he took us to the brink of qualification for Euro 2008. The highlight of a remarkable run was a 1-0 win over World Cup Finalists France in Paris.

Resigned after losing 2-1 to Italy in final game at Hampden. The former Aberdeen player and Motherwell, Hibs and Rangers boss took over at Barclays Premier League strugglers Birmingham City. Failed to keep them up in English top division.

Despite being maybe the best keeper to don a dark blue jersey, Oldham-born Andy is perhaps best remembered for his antics off the field.

He walked out on the team before a vital European qualifier against Greece in 1995 claiming he wasn't "mentally attuned".

He brought the curtain down on his international career when he walked out on Scotland again just 15 days before the World Cup Finals in France in 1998.

He won 43 caps for his adopted homeland. Left Rangers in 1998 and went on to play for several clubs, including Manchester United, before retiring in 2004. Now goalkeeping coach at Clyde.

Kevin Gallacher

Gallacher broke into the Scotland team near the end of his tenure at Dundee United in 1988. But it would take him another five years to get on the scoresheet for his country.

When he did, though, he became indispensable for the national team. His goals were largely responsible for getting Scotland to the World Cup Finals in France in 1998. After spells with United, Coventry, Blackburn Rovers, Newcastle United, Preston, Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town and after winning 58 caps he retired.

Now a pundit with Radio Five Live. Won critical acclaim for his semi-autobiographical book Tartan Turmoil: The Fall and Rise of Scottish Football.

Having been overlooked for the 1986 and 1990 World Cup squads, this was the Chelsea and Everton winger's only appearance for Scotland at a major finals.

He played against Germany and the CIS in Sweden. Came on for Kevin Gallacher in this tie. Moved on to Tranmere in the summer of 1992.

Returned to Scotland in 1997 to play for Kilmarnock. Joined Motherwell the following year as player/chief executive and finished off his career at Fir Park. Now a media pundit with the BBC and Radio Five Live.

The former Queen's Park, East Stirling, Partick Thistle, Falkirk and Clydebank player was a surprise choice when he was appointed Scotland coach after the World Cup in Mexico in 1986.

He had worked as the SFA technical director and a youth coach up until that point.Nevertheless, he led the country to the World Cup Finals in Italy in 1990 and the European Championship Finals in Sweden in 1992.

His team performed well in both tournaments but still failed to qualify for the knockout stages on both occasions. His negative tactics did not endear him to the Tartan Army. Axed as boss after 5-0 defeat to Portugal in 1993. Became technical director of Uefa in 1994, a job he still does today.

The Omar Sharif lookalike fulfilled a variety of roles in the Scotland back-room staff from masseur to player liaison officer before retiring to Majorca in 2007.
