Goram, McGrain, McLeish, Miller, Gemmell, Johnstone, Souness, Bremner, Cooper, Dalglish and Law. The greatest team of that era according to this group.
Great Scotland names, with some great names missing. McAllister was magnanimous at being left out himself despite his sterling career and qualifying for four major tournaments, missing the last of those, France ’98, Scotland’s most recent World Cup, through injury.
“We’ve had some amazing footballers over the years ,” McAllister told BBC Scotland.
“People have got favourites. Law and Dalglish sounds like a great pairing, but I’ve put McCoist and Dalglish.
“I’ve also got David Cooper on the left. He was such a special player. I’ve got Strachan on the other side but there was Willie Henderson, there was Jimmy Johnstone. He didn’t make it, but Strachan was the best player I ever played with.
“Alongside Steven Gerrard, those two were very special. It’s just a shame that Gerrard wasn’t Scottish. Imagine that!”
