Diamond Oracle Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 We've already shipped an English boy into this team because 'he has a Scottish grandmother'. I find that utterly ridiculous at that age. I can almost understand at full international level because you have to choose the best players at our disposal to be competitive - but the only reason we have the likes of Morrison, Rhodes, Martin etc in our team is because there aren't enough good Scottish players playing at a good level. Surely the way around that is to bring proper Scottish young players through? Baffling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has chosen to play for us at 15/16 years old then surely he considers himself Scottish? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 If he has chosen to play for us at 15/16 years old then surely he considers himself Scottish? Indeed, and if he's got any potential to make it in the senior game it's surely better to get him involved with Scotland now rather than leaving him out and making it an easier decision for him to choose England if he turns out to be good enough for them to be interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Scotland under 19 striker Sam Gallagher on the bench for Southampton today. He came on during the week in their cup tie and impressed apparantly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came on during the week in their cup tie and impressed apparantly Good news. Hadn't heard of him, but good to know there's another prospect on the cusp of epl footy. I noticed Jordan Archer was on spurs' bench the other night in the Europa - more good news 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Yeah must admit I had never heard of Gallagher before, and there is very little information about him but good to see a young Scot possibly breaking through at a club like Southampton, a team who's academy is very highly thought of. Six foot four so he is a big lad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattydfc Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 16 year old Craig Wighton just scored for us. He's going to be a Scotland player one day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 16 year old Craig Wighton just scored for us. He's going to be a Scotland player one day. If he is looked after properly he definitely will be, have seen him at school level and he was superb. Only slight problem for Dundee is that if you don't get promoted this year (and I hope you do) then next season will be tough given the Rangers/Hearts (possibly) factor so you may lose him sooner than you had hoped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's scored a hat trick for Scotland 17s (I think) against Slovakia already, I'm just going on what I've heard as I've not seen him play, but people say he's years ahead of where he should be as a player, which is promising. I feel his chances would be limited if we got promoted though, which is sad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I see Rico Quitongo and Jai Quitongo are involved in the Scotland youth teams. Hopefully they have the silky skills of their dad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) I see Rico Quitongo and Jai Quitongo are involved in the Scotland youth teams. Hopefully they have the silky skills of their dad. What teams are they in? U17 and U15? What teams do they play for. A mate reffereed one a couple of years ago, he was at Hibs iirc.

I assume the older boy is in the 17s but im less sure on that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
