From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article lists all the captains of the men’s Scotland national football team. As of 16 November 2023, Scotland have played 825 officially recognised international matches and have had 156 different team captains. George Young captained Scotland most often, with 48.[1] Four other players (Billy Bremner, Darren Fletcher, Gary McAllister and Andrew Robertson) have captained the team at least 30 times.[1]
The first captain of the Scotland team was Robert Gardner, who led the team in the first ever international match, against England on 30 November 1872. He went on to captain Scotland on just one further occasion, the second international match, on 8 March 1873, against the same opposition.
