This 'obsession with Scots' thing gets on my nerves as well...

as it's bordering on the xenophobic

Lappin - erm, 40k. Can take a excellent dead ball, can play proficiently in LB, LM and CM

Fozzy - free. Now coming into the side and really turned the Southampton game on its head.

Marshall - by all accounts, has an excellent reputation, and is starting to show it for us. Did you see the West Ham friendly???

Murray - look at the facts on paper. Played 100+ games for Rangers. Scottish international. Can play (alledgedly) in LB, CB and CM - ALL areas we were bemoaning needed strengthening. And all on a free.

Strihavka - havent seen his Scottish passport
Otsemobor - ditto
Gilks - ditto
Cureton - ditto
Brellier - ditto
Chadwick - ditto

And if he was so pre-Scot, why get in Gilks to replace Gallacher - surely your way of thinking would mean he would favour 'one of his own' over a lad from Rochdale.

Verdict (well my opinion): the argument is bollocks.
