    Okay, using a similar process, can you now give me a team of the best players born in Scotland that played between 1960 and 1999 - there is no restriction on which league they played in. I need the best 11 players, 5 substitutes and a Scottish-born manager and also their domestic successes.

    Interesting, definitely don't agree with some of the Best XI for each decade in the English top division but I realise the AI cannot give a definitive answer, maybe my explaining of criteria wasn't the best.

    I'd definitely have Kenny Dalglish in either the 1970s or 1980s team. Zinedine Zidane should surely be in the starting World XI (2000-21) and I don't think Guardiola would even make the subs bench in the World XI. There is also no Ronaldo (R9). There are som many names missing from the Scottish team - Bremner, Baxter, Frank McLintock, Dave McKay etc

    So, let us continue the debate using the AI teams as a starter.

    English XI & 5 subs (1960-1999): must have played in the top English division
    Scottish XI & 5 subs (1960-1999): must have been born in Scotland
    World XI & 5 subs (1960-1999)
    World XI & 5 subs (2000-2021)
