Neil McCann made history as he helped Scotland to a 3-1 win over the Faroe Islands. The left-winger became the first Southampton player ever to score for Scotland as he hit a dream volley after just eight minutes of the Euro 2004 qualifier.

Goalkeeper Ian Black played in a 2-0 defeat by England in April 1948 – exactly 50 years after John Robertson also faced England. The half-back become the only outfield Saints player to represent Scotland until McCann pulled on the blue jersey.
