Alan Thompson - 60 minutes in a friendly.Richard J said:
Interestingly there has actually been two and the most recent Fraser Forster was within the last ten years which is much more recent than Rangers.Friend Or Defoe said:Indeed, a grand total of 1 (one) English caps have been given to Celtic players in their history, whereas Rangers had regular players in the English national team which caught my attention.
And the Rangers figure..... 7 all from the 1980's and 90's. Hardly 'regular'.
Forster - 105 minutes in 2 friendlies.
The Rangers figure is over 100 caps. players.
None in this millennium. Forster was less than ten years ago. So Celtic have a more recent England Cap.

You do realise it isn't Celtic FC who decide who plays for England.
Regardless Richard J is correct.
Most recent old firm England player was a Bhoy and it has been two, not one.

I was replying to a previous comment about how Rangers had a load of regular England players when we were kids (we must be a similar age) but fair play for some how getting the Lisbon lions in to the conversation! Had a chuckle at 'one of' as if anything else they achieved is comparable!Richard J said:
Only after Souness and the European ban in the 80's. That was due to money and European football rather than any other reason. I don't think there have been any this last 20 years.Friend Or Defoe said:Indeed, a grand total of 1 (one) English caps have been given to Celtic players in their history, whereas Rangers had regular players in the English national team which caught my attention.
Before English clubs got banned from Europe neither team had English players.
One of Celtic's greatest achievements was winning the European Cup including 3 protestants with a team which was born within 12 miles of the Stadium. For a Scottish (not English) club that is really impressive.
During that time Rangers were the best side in Britain and afterwards Celtic had Larsson playing for them. How things quickly changed, I can't see them returning.0 -
If an Englishman is playing for Rangers or Celtic he shouldn’t be anywhere near the national team and long may it continue. We need our national players playing Premier League and Champions League football.6

Like Chris Powell's 5 caps, things used to be a lot different! Can't see Scottish football even returning to those heights, billionaires will only be interested in the top 5 European leagues and the likes of the USA.ValleyGary said:If an Englishman is playing for Rangers or Celtic he shouldn’t be anywhere near the national team and long may it continue.

Currently tearing Motherwell a new one, 3 0 up. Lovely goal for their 3rd.Never really been that interested in Scottish football but have watched a few games this season and enjoyed them.
Still can’t get my head around English people getting worked up about the whole Celtic/Rangers thing though.1 -

There are lots of people who have them as their second teams. Celtic were my first football team, even though I lived in Kent, then got taken to Charlton and that was that.DaveMehmet said:Currently tearing Motherwell a new one, 3 0 up.

I think most of us have a preference of big city teams ie utd or city.
As a side issue, I also follow Cowdenbeath who bar a miracle will get relegated the day the mightly Celts get the championship trophy. At least that will please one poster.1 -

Can understand people being interested in it and having a favourite team but it's all the sniping and arguing about it I don't get.Friend Or Defoe said:I can't get my head around people who keep posting on this thread saying it's strange people are interested in Scottish football.3 -

Both of the Old Firm have fielded English players since the 80's. Ex Addick Paul Elliott was in Glasgow's green side when Butcher and co were at Ibrox . Celtic's current Keeper Joe Hart has 75 England Caps.1 -

The national team = England. Fair to say I didn’t mean Nigeria!3 -
The 'narrative' was simply that a couple of people (myself included) said we chose Rangers because when we were kids growing up they signed a few England players.Richard J said:

I'm not sure there was any other point made or why you mentioning 2 Celtic players who played for England about 25 years after that have anything to do with it.1 -
Okay. Other posters compared the respective clubs in terms of England Internationals and infer that Celtic are anti English.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
