Your clubs internationally-capped starting XI

[Bobby Skidmarks]

You could replace Saunders with Miodrag Krivokrapic.

Since we have had loads of players capped. I'll go for a Scotland 11 and manager as well as an international 11 and manager. Also since it was suggested Celtic and Rangers fans post their best international players I've gone for the Lisbon Lions who surprisingly won only 117 caps between them. Shows how strong Scottish football was in the 1960s.

Including Curtis good, an on loan player who managed 4 matches for Utd, is a minter.

[Dunning1874]

Trying to stick to players I've seen myself:

 

Ally Maxwell

 

Paul Fenwick - Dave McPherson - James McPake

 

Paul Hartley - David Hopkin - Derek McInnes - Janne Lindberg - Andy McLaren

 

Robert Earnshaw - Marko Rajamaki

 

Fouad Bachirou and Garry O'Connor on the bench.

 

I was tempted to leave McPake out in favour of a 2-6-2 formation, because on balance I'd rather have no defence than allow that waste of skin in my team.

[Mark Connolly]

Including Curtis good, an on loan player who managed 4 matches for Utd, is a minter.

 

I'd imagine it was him or Garry Kenneth.

 

I'd always take a minter over Garry Kenneth tbh.

[Deeboy]

Levein certainly should for capping him.

Douglas (along with Pageau) was the best keeper who played at Dens, but at his best Leighton was a better keeper...just a shame it did not happen with us. We had some great players in the 60's, but football then was very differant and its hard to say if these players could make it in the modern game. For that reason Billy Steel is only on the bench. Gillie though has to be in the first team. I actually saw Johnstone play for us - he was past it - but again, at his best he was a great winger.
