If that job continued to fall on Steve McClaren, who seems to prefer uninterested superstars to dedicated young talent, I doubt any of them would make it. If, on the other hand, a cleverer coach was discovered (say, at a high school level in San Marino), I think that players like Gary Naysmith and Paul Hartley would have good shots. Frankly, I'd like to see an England-Scotland "friendly" (though it would hardly be that) - the Lions look like such rubbish lately that my money would probably be on the Scots.

If Scotland were to join forces with England for a "national" team (minus Wales, N. Ireland) who from the current Scottish side would be on the team?
