The production line of a nation that gave us Hughie Gallacher, Kenny Dalglish and scores of other top-class players has all but ground to a halt. As Scotland prepare to face England at Wembley we examine how this happened
It is a sign of Scotland’s predicament that introspection takes place before international fixtures. Legend may tell us the folly in writing off Scottish hopes at Wembley on Friday but the broader picture of talent decline seems impossible to ignore. For all Gordon Strachan’s errors, his core defence is straightforward: for some time Scotland have failed to produce top-level footballers.

• Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon poised for Scottish football return
• Fills Easter Road post left vacant by Alan Stubbs’ move to Rotherham
Hibernian are set to appoint the former Celtic manager Neil Lennon as Alan Stubbs’ Easter Road replacement, according to reports.
Stubbs quit the Easter Road club to take over at Rotherham just 11 days after leading them to their first Scottish Cup triumph in 114 years.
• Manager departs with club bottom of Championship
• Academy coach Jimmy Phillips to take temporary charge
The Bolton Wanderers manager Neil Lennon has left the club.
In a statement on their website, the Championship’s bottom club said: “Bolton Wanderers can announce that the club have today, Tuesday 15 March, parted company with manager Neil Lennon by mutual consent.
Life at Bolton has unfolded in a way Lennon never imagined but he remains up for the fight at a club where he found a wage bill bigger than Celtic’s and sports scientists ‘coming out of my ears’
It did not take long for Neil Lennon to encounter the excesses of Bolton Wanderers’ past. On his first day as manager, Lennon was introduced to the club acupuncturist and raised an eyebrow. “I had physiotherapists and sports scientists coming out of my ears,” the Northern Irishman recalls.
This isn’t to say Lennon has any problem with modern medicine’s role in football. Rather, the scale of infrastructure at Bolton in October 2014 was not replicated by on-field output.
• Lennon believes FA Cup win could be a psychological boost to Bolton
• Chris Todd: ‘After playing like that I am as proud as punch’
Neil Lennon said he was thrilled to be in the fourth round of the FA Cup, and looking forward to a sizeable crowd for the home tie in the next round against Leeds, though the Bolton manager made no secret of the fact that MK Dons in the league on Saturday remains the priority.
After scoring the equaliser against non-league Eastleigh in the first tie 10 days ago, Darren Pratley was Bolton’s hero again in a week when the club was given a stay of execution over their unpaid tax bills.
