Ireland seems to be leading now/recent times imo. Roy and Robbie Keane, Given. I can't think of any recent players from Scotland who are up on level with them..
Shows you how much a nation can change when you see what players Scotland HAD and what we are getting now.

Overall I’d say Scotland has produced better player. But then again, we (Ireland) are a nation divided by an illegal border.
Some of the Celtic players in the 60’s and 70’s were world class.
In recent times though, Ireland have produced the better player IMO.
Darren Fletcher is a poor mans Roy Keane.

tbh, I think Scotland just edges it
i'd say scotland have had the better players easily, and if you're including norn iron players RS sammy McIllroy and healy deserve a mention.
lol too true RS, you could add norman whiteside to that list too i suppose.
overall though, i thin scotland have had far better players than us, we had a handful of good players pre 1990 whereas scotland had some of the games greats. we've had the upper hand sice but not by all that much.
