When you think back every top English club had at least one, often more Scots playing for them. Over the years our own "big two" seemed to attract a lot of class players from Scotland. The influx of foreign players maybe. ?? Even so I believe a modern day Jim Baxter, Tony Green just to name a couple would still find a place in English football.
