Whatever happened to our

HERE we takes a look at what became of the Scotland XI from that famous 3-2 Wembley win.

The Celtic keeper made his Scotland debut at Wembley aged 36. But he was by no means over the hill and six weeks later helped Jock Stein’s Hoops become the first British team to win the European Cup. After retiring in 1970, he had a spell as Hamilton boss and served as a local councillor in Edinburgh. Simpson died of a heart attack in 2004. The Celtic left-back scored in the club’s 1967 win in Lisbon soon after Wembley. After leaving Parkhead in 1971, he had spells at Nottingham Forest, Miami Toros and Dundee – whom he captained to a League Cup win in 1974. After stints as boss at Dens Park and Albion Rovers, he moved on to a career in financial services. Gemmell died last month following a long illness. The defender returned to Wembley a month later but was on the losing side as Spurs beat Chelsea 2-1 in the FA Cup final. He spent two years as Stamford Bridge boss before resigning in 1977 when his request for a company car was rejected by the board. Now lives in the United States. Scotland’s captain suffered anguish a month after Wembley as his Rangers side lost to Bayern Munich in the Cup Winners’ Cup final, although he did lift the trophy in 1972. The Ibrox side’s post-war appearance record-holder went on to manage the Light Blues but resigned in 1983 having failed to capture a league crown during five campaigns in charge. He was later voted the ‘Greatest Ever Ranger’ by supporters. The Rangers defender would have joined Greig in becoming a ‘Barcelona Bear’ had it not been for a leg break suffered in the second round of their 1972 run. The injury ultimately ended his Ibrox career and he never pulled on a light blue jersey again. McKinnon lives on the Isle of Lewis. The Sunderland playmaker’s keepy-uppy display has come to symbolise the mastery of Scotland over the world champions. While he won three league titles and a clutch of cups during his first Rangers stint, Baxter struggled after spells with the Black Cats and Nottingham Forest. He retired in 1970 after a brief return to Rangers but problems with alcoholism blighted his later years. Baxter lost a battle with cancer in 2001. He scored a brace in the Scottish Cup Final as Celtic clinched a domestic Treble the week before Wembley, and was also in the Hoops line-up a month later in the European Cup win. Moved to Crystal Palace in 1972 and ended his career in Australia, where he still lives. Flame-haired battler had not long assumed the Leeds captaincy when he helped take down the English. He would go on to play in a golden era at Elland Road, leading United to a pair of First Division titles, two Fairs Cup wins as well as victories in both the FA Cup and League Cup. Bremner died in 1997 following a suspected heart attack. Sheffield Wednesday kid made Scotland debut at Wembley – and netted the winner. He was later part of the Manchester United squad relegated to the Second Division in 1974 but helped the Red Devils bounce back at the first attempt. After brief stints in the USA and Norway, he now runs an Ayrshire B&B. Manchester United striker opened the scoring at Wembley and helped Matt Busby’s team win the European Cup in 1968. Since retiring in 1975 after one last season with Manchester City, Scotland’s only Ballon d’Or winner has worked in the media and for several charities. Put Scotland 2-0 up and another Celt who enjoyed his career-defining moment in Lisbon. He played until he was 38 and ended his Hoops career with 25 major honours. Works as a matchday host at Celtic Park.
