Best Foreign Football Player in Scottish Football History

If we look at non-Scottish players. Also if we only count and players not from the United Kingdom or Ireland.

Then I would say the best foreign players to play in Scottish football come from a list of;


Henrik Larsson (Glasgow Celtic).


Brain Laudrup (Glasgow Rangers).


Theo Snelders (Aberdeen and Glasgow Rangers).


Paolo Di Canio (Glasgow Celtic).


Mark Viduka (Glasgow Celtic).


Shunsuke Nakamura  (Glasgow Celtic).


Stefan Johansen (Glasgow Celtic).


Emilio Izaguirre (Glasgow Celtic).


Mixu Paatelainen (Dundee United, Aberdeen, Hibernian, St Johnstone, St Mirren, Cowdenbeath).


Marius Žaliūkas (Heart of Midlothian).


Bobo Baldé (Glasgow Celtic).


Hans Gillhaus (Aberdeen).


Rudi Skacel (Heart of Midlothian). 


Russell Latapy (Dundee United, Falkirk, Hibernian, Glasgow Rangers),


Virgil Van Dijk (Glasgow Celtic). 


Johnny Hubbard (Glasgow Rangers),


Tom Rogic (Glasgow Celtic).


Mikael Lustig (Glasgow Celtic).


Sergei Baltacha (St Johnstone, Inverness Caledonian Thistle).


Tore Andre Flo (Glasgow Rangers).


Tugay Kerimoğlu (Glasgow Rangers).


Scott McDonald (Glasgow Celtic, Motherwell, Dundee United, Partick Thistle).


Harald Brattbakk (Glasgow Celtic).


Johan Mjällby (Glasgow Celtic).


Moussa Dembélé (Glasgow Celtic).


Stiliyan Petrov (Glasgow Celtic).


Gennaro Gattuso (Glasgow Rangers).


Didier Agathe (Raith Rovers, Glasgow Celtic, Hibernian).


Arthur Numan (Glasgow Rangers).


 Joos Valgaeren (Glasgow Celtic).


Ronald de Boer (Glasgow Rangers).


Alfredo Morelos (Glasgow Rangers.


Marco Negri (Glasgow Rangers).


Frank de Boer (Glasgow Rangers).


Fernando Ricksen (Glasgow Rangers).


Giovanni van Bronckhorst (Glasgow Rangers).


Mikel Arteta (Glasgow Rangers).


Zoltan Varga (Aberdeen). 


Jorge Cadete (Glasgow Celtic).


Franck Sauzee (Hibernian).


Lorenzo Amoruso (Glasgow Rangers).


Claudio Caniggia (Dundee, Glasgow Rangers).


 Stefan Klos (Glasgow Rangers).


Jean-Alain Boumsong Somkong (Glasgow Rangers).


Artur Boruc {(Celtic).


Shota Arveladze (Glasgow Rangers).


Michael Mols (Glasgow Rangers).


Tony Vidmar (Glasgow Rangers).


Maciej Żurawski (Glasgow Celtic).


Claudio Reyna (Glasgow Rangers).


Hicham Zerouali (Aberdeen).


Marius Niculae (Inverness Caledonian Thistle).


Peter Kjær (Aberdeen).


Stéphane Mahé (Glasgow Celtic, Heart of Midlothian)


Marc Rieper (Glasgow Celtic). 


Jörg Albertz (Glasgow Rangers).


Stéphane Adam (Heart of Midlothian).


Lionel Charbonnier (Glasgow Rangers).


Stéphane Guivarc'h (Glasgow Rangers). 


Morten Wieghorst (Glasgow Celtic, Dundee).


Pierre Van Hoojidonk (Glasgow Celtic).


Nacho Novo (Raith Rovers, Dundee, Glasgow Rangers, Morton).


Orjan Persson (Dundee United, Glasgow Rangers).


Lubo Moravcik (Glasgow Celtic).


Ulises de la Cruz (Hibernian).


Fabrizio Ravanelli  (Dundee).

Those are some of the good players. 

I am sure there are some great players I missed out. 

I want Scottish football to produce great Scottish players. But it is also fun to attract great players to Scottish football. So Scotland is a centre of World football.

Having B teams in the lower leagues would enable the big clubs to play top Scottish, British, Irish and foreign players in their first team. While still developing good Scottish players in their B teams.

This is about making Scotland a good league for attracting and developing World class players. 

Thanks. -
