After Ryan Gauld’s big move to Sporting Lisbon this week I thought I’d see what other young Scots out there could interest European sides looking to bring in good Scottish talent.

Now let me start this by stating that the bigger sides in England, say the top seven or eight teams shouldn’t be included in this piece.
