Hi Ed007, was thinking what was the reasons that Scotland had produced two top class full backs in recent years?

I was wondering if the reason was Danny McGrain, who himself was a world class full back?

As you know well, both Tierney and Robertson came through the youth ranks at Celtic. During which, Danny McGrain has been a coach at Celtic and no doubt would have passed on some of his wisdom to these youngsters,

Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

{Ed007's Note - I doubt Robertson - who was let go at 14 - had much contact with Danny McGrain and since McGrain was promoted to first team coach when when KT was about 13 I don't see him having much to do with KT either until he broke into the first-team squad.}

What worries me is that Robertson was let go. Surely the days of too small are over? Apparently the boy always looked like a player.
