first game against France was an away 2 - 0 victory in 1930 , Hughie Gallagher of Newcastler United got 2. 2 years later we won 3 - 1 again in Paris. The third paris game in 1950 saw a 3 - 0 defeat.

Things got better in '49 as we won 2 - 0 at Ham,pden with Derby's Billy Steel scoring 2.
Jings a year later we won again in paris, and here's one for all you Fifers. A.Brown of East Fife scored. Hoorah!
We waltzed down the Champs Elyses that night!!!!!!!!!
Hampden was ablaze with Tartan in'51 when Hibie Lawrie reilly scored the only goal in '51.
We are the champs..............!

I remeber a friendly in Marseille in '84 when a superb french team slaughtered us 2 - 0. Even worse was Berties first game. Westa ran a bus to that one! A 5 - 0 gubbing. Help.........................!

Hamish, What about the friendly in St. Ettiene in Nov 97 when only about 250 - 300 tartan army made the trip. Just remember flying to Paris and getting a train down with Neil Ross, Wee John fae Perth and i think unfortunately Coyle was there as well. That's when i first encountered Neville from the Dutch TA. A great trip! Wont mention the score.

Was Plastic Bertrand (the pop star) not Belgian?
