Scotland Home Shirt 1987/88

1987 – Under manager Andy Roxburgh (who had replaced Jock Stein’s successor, Alex Ferguson, in 1986), Scotland prepared for the Euro 1988 qualifiers. Veterans like Richard Gough, Roy Aitken, and Gordon Strachan formed the core, while new talents such as Paul McStay were blooded. Results were mixed, with promising wins but damaging defeats leaving qualification hopes in doubt.

1988 – Scotland ultimately failed to reach Euro 1988, finishing third in their group behind the Republic of Ireland and Bulgaria. With qualification gone, Roxburgh used friendlies to reshape the squad, looking ahead to the 1990 World Cup campaign and integrating younger players.
