Sad news yesterday that Danny McGrain the former Celtic and Scotland great full back has been diagnosed with Altzheimer’s Disease.

Here he is above, with his great friend and rival the late,great,Sandy Jardine.

They were, in my humble opinion, the two best full backs Scotland has ever had and two of the best ever British full backs.

 

[Boyne]

From 1962 when Scotland beat 2-0. Goals from two Rangers greats who are both in the picture i.e. Davie Wilson and Eric Caldow. The other two players in the picture are Jim Baxter and Paddy Crerand.

Yes, very sad news. Danny was a great player. Agree with you about he and Sandy being two of the best ever fullbacks in Scotland and the U.K. Would easily walk in to the greatest ever Scotland eleven.

Spain would win 5-4 on penalties
