 Harry Kane

I see he is about to equal Peter Shilton`s record of 125 caps for England and he has scored 89 goals so far in internationals. That is a phenomenal strike rate (although not as good as Jimmy Greaves` in percentage terms) even allowing for the fact that quite a few are penalties and some of these were of the dubious variety.

England fans are currently debating his position in the ranks of their international players over the years but I can`t help wondering how he would have fared if he had been playing for Scotland. There`s no doubt he is a very effective striker when given the chance but he has benefited from playing in a team which creates lots of goalscoring opportunities for him. Would we have done much better with him leading the attack?

I think Harry Kane coming in for Lyndon Dykes/Che Adams is arguably an upgrade.

Spurs have done well since he left..... He has scored quite a few goals in Germany.

I think it is easy to look back on yesteryear and think others were better, or he would struggle in other current teams.

Particularly a few years ago when he was playing higher up, he would have completely changed the way Scotland played.

His record speaks for itself.

But would it have meant qualifying for more tournaments or getting out of the group stages once there? Strikers are so dependent on the players providing the ammunition for them.

20 goals in 21 games under Tuchel.

143 goals in 146 games at Bayern is ridiculous!

C'mon Ye Pars!

Outstanding striker who would definitely made a massive improvement to Scotland`s goal tally over that period.
I`d rather have had Jimmy Greaves though.
