David McNamee and Darren Barr were both capped for Scotland and looked like they were destined for great things at one time. It wasn't to be.
Charlie Miller should have been a huge star but only played once for Scotland. He was once named along with Ivan De La Pena and Robert Pires as the most promising players in Europe.
His one match was along side John O'Neill and Andy McLaren, we really know how to waste talent.

Surely Miller wasted his own talent. Even by the standards of mid-1990s Rangers he was a big boozer.

Andy Gray of Crystal Palace.

Mark Barham.

Yeah, undoubtedly. As did McLaren, both grew up only a few streets from each other interestingly. It wasn't playing for Scotland that ruined them it was being indulged and feted since they were little kids and then having significant amounts of money thrown at them as teenagers.

I'd disagree with Mark Barham being on the list, he got two caps in 1983, on an Australian tour, when the purpose of the tour was to look at fringe players. He enjoyed several more years of success (relatively speaking of course) at Norwich after that. I wouldn't say he lost it following being capped. He's no Kevin Reeves, although maybe transferring to Manchester City caused him to lose it.

Yeah, Carson's a good suggestion, never saw the fuss myself though.

I agree with this. Wallace was superb at Rangers and whenever they stepped up in class he looked very comfortable indeed. His movement off the ball was outstanding.
