Think he was only clubless for a few months after Norwich. My suggestion was tongue-in-cheek though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 5-2 victory in in 1894 at the old Rugby Park. I don’t have Jocky as a scorer though but as I say I could be wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbk Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Well done Stuart you deserve to be involved at this level no problem by the way did ian durrant get a Scotland cap while he was a Killie player? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffer Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Magic really pleased for Stuart you could see he was bursting with pride at the goal and during his interview on Sky. Comes across as a genuine nice guy and is a real asset to the Club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historyman Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 It’s something he will always remember and be able to look back on with pride when his career is over. Scoring for your country is a great achievement, regardless of the opposition. Hopefully this will put him further up the pecking order for the centre half positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the type of player Scotland needs; passionate, wants to play for his country and, despite the highs he’s reached at club level, places playing for his country above everything else. Too many international regulars don’t give two hoots about playing for Scotland. I hope Clarke recognises Findlay’s commitment. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie1970 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 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 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
