Progression of Scotland association football caps record

This is a progressive list of association footballers who have held or co-held the record for international caps for the Scotland national football team. The record is held by Kenny Dalglish with 102 caps. Dalglish is the only player to have appeared 100 or more times for Scotland, meaning that he is the only Scottish member of the FIFA Century Club.

Criteria

For the early decades, counts of caps were often considered unreliable. RSSSF and IFFHS have spent much effort trying to produce definitive lists of full international matches, and corresponding data on players' international caps and goals. Using this data, the following records can be retrospectively produced. At the time, these records may not have been recognised.

The list begins with Joseph Taylor and Billy MacKinnon, who both appeared in the first six official internationals played by Scotland.[1]

Notes:

  1. ↑ His surname is also spelt "McNiel".
  2. ↑ Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation gives Young a cap total of 54, because it includes his appearance as a substitute in the match played against Switzerland on 15 May 1946. The Scottish Football Association does not include this appearance in their records.
