topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Away from the drama of this season's exciting title race, is there a comprehensive list (as in top 50 or 100) of top scorers for the premiership/ spl? The other week Kris Doolan scored his 41st league goal and Richard Gordon said he moves upto 9th in the all-time list, so was just wondering... That will be St Johnstone's all time list as opposed to the league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Doolan will be 9th since the 2013 formation of the SPFL not the 1998 SPL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I believe only Griffiths and Rooney have more goals since 2013 in the league so it won't be that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Doolan will be 9th since the 2013 formation of the SPFL not the 1998 SPL. I'm surprised there are that many in such a short period of time. Who are the 8 that (surely) precede Doolan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could include all 4 divisions of the SPFL, though that would admittedly be a bit strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Richard Gordon said something along the lines of Doolan scores his 41st goal and moves upto 9th, overtaking Kris Commons. So would that make it more likely to be since 1998 or 2013? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) I posted this on the match thread as well but it probably belongs here Edinburgh City's late winner means that three Edinburgh sides won for the first weekend since Meadowbank Thistle "died" or "moved to Livingston" in 1995. The Fife Flyers can't be looking forward to their trip to Murrayfield tonight Edited March 12, 2017 by topcat(The most tip top) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The since 1998 list doesn't really make a great deal of sense any more, now that the SPL doesn't even exist. The way I see it, there are one of three options now - the all-time list since 1890, the Premier Division era since 1975 or the Premiership era since 2013. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Transfermarkt.de isn't allowing be to specify a span of seasons but I can filter by age These are the top 10 scorers currently between the ages of 23 and 30 (Which gets rid of the likes of Larson & Boyd) Anthony Stokes(28) Leigh Griffith(26) Adam Rooney(28) Billy McKay(28) Gary Hooper(29) Niall McGinn(29) Stven Naismigh(30)Kris Doolan(30) David Goodwillie(27) I suspect you're overall top 10 since 2013 would probably look similar to that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Motherwell's Top League Goalscorers in the Premier League Era (1975 - now) 1. John Sutton (65) 2. Scott McDonald (64) 3. Steve Kirk (63) 4. Tommy Coyne (59) 5. Dougie Arnott (59) 6. Willie Pettigrew (56) So 1 more goal for McDonald equals the club record, 2 goals sets a new record. Hopefully he can get both against St. Johnstone on Saturday! Edited March 12, 2017 by Ya Bezzer! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not right but Doolan's goal against Hearts a couple of weeks back moved him into 9th on Thistle's all time competitive goalscorers list (with 98 goals, 99 after yesterday), tho the fact you've also mentioned 41st league goal leaves me doubting it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I never like the "since 1998" or "since 2013" approach - it's only the name over the door that changed. All-time or since 1975, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) The list of leading Premiership era goalscorers is as follows: 1. Leigh Griffiths (60) 2. Adam Rooney (55) 3. Kris Doolan (43) 4. Billy Mckay (42) 5. Kris Commons (41) 6. Liam Boyce (39) 7. Niall McGinn (37) 8. John Sutton (36) 9. Kris Boyd (34) 10. Steven MacLean (31) Edited March 12, 2017 by craigkillie Missed Niall McGinn initially 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the unlikely scenario that Aberdeen manage to match Celtics results until then, it would be the first game after the split which would see them crowned 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
