McGrath

[Mid Calder Saint]

So so well deserved terrific young player and so unassuming young man fully deserved in my opinion

Well done Jamie on being called up to the Ireland squad.

This can only help trying to attract promising young players to our club. 

Well done to the lad, well deserved. 

[southsidebud]

Great for Jamie and - with my black and white tinted specs on - totally deserved.

Would be amazing if he got on the pitch at the Euros!

When did the last serving saints player feature at either euros of world cup finals?

Yes would be a miracle considering they didn't qualify

They should have called him up sooner.

Congratulations Jamie.

Awesome news and well deserved.

Might also make us more attractive to future targets from RoI.

Fair doos. [emoji1787]

Dafty moment for me. Forgot they never made it - so used to it being Scotland. Just desperate for a saints player to feature at a major finals I guess

Leaving aside the non possibility regarding McGrath - does anyone know the last Saints player to feature at a major finals?

I don’t believe we have had any players representing their country while still a Saints player. Only ones I remember who have played at major tournaments for Scotland in my lifetime after leaving Saints are wee Archie Gemmill and Paul Lambert.

McAvennie played in the 86 World Cup

Roy Aitken

I agree with the  positive sentiments shown in this thread.

 

Great news, well deserved and can only be good for the image of our club amongst the ranks of professional footballers/

 

Well done Mr McGrath and thank you for your services thus far.

I could be wrong but I think Ian Munro was capped while with us, Billy Thompson too, think his caps came in friendlies but think Munro was capped in competitive games but not in a World Cup or euros. ( he only got 7 caps)

They could bloody do with one. Struggling 0-0 at HT. 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

He's on for the last 8 minutes.

[TPAFKA Jersey 2]

Not sure if he touched the ball 🤷‍♂️

He certainly didn’t get a single commentator mention after he came on.

He had numerous touches, admittedly mostly one touch.

The commentator was pish.
