First Killie player to score for Scotland at Hampden, I've been told. Uncorroborated though?

Alex Higgins scored his three/ four goals at the first Hampden Park, which was sited where a bowling club currently is at the junction of Queen's Drive and Cathcart Road.

You're right - July to November 2017.

However, Transfermarkt shows that he wasn't capped - or even in a DRC squad - from January 2017 until November 2018, by which time he was at Celtic.

 

I think his return here was what got him the games needed to get into the team at at the AFCON.

And to think some of the clowns on here actively don't want our players called up.....

Got to admit when the water wasn’t clearing from the park I would quite happily have seen him subbed. Had a real fear someone was going to get a bad one. Absolutely delighted for him though.

Thought the big fella looked composed and assured throughput the game. Certainly didn't give the impression that it was his first cap. What a way to top it off with his goal! Maybe only San Marino but great to see the passion from the big man. Too many players have put that jersey on and it's meant nothing to them, big Stuart was a blast from the past...proud as punch! Well done big man

A goal for your country at Hampden on your international debut or a late winner for your club which, lets not be kidded, didn't really win us anything. 

Unsurprising that this is his proudest moment

Agreed.

He'd have had his full family there last night, stuff of dreams on your debut.
