Scotland national football team roll of honour

The Scotland national football team roll of honour is a list set up by the Scottish Football Association which recognises players who have gained 50 or more international caps for Scotland. There are currently 30 players on the roll of honour, with Scott Brown the most recent addition. He made his 50th appearance for Scotland on 29 March 2016, when the team played Denmark.

The roll of honour was launched in February 1988, when 11 players had already achieved the distinction.[1] Each player inducted receives a commemorative gold medal, an invitation to every Scotland home match and has their portrait hung in the Scottish Football Museum.[1]
