Socceroos in Scotland

From Glasgow to the Highlands, Aussies have left their mark in Scotland.

Socceroos in Scotland is the untold story of how Australian footballers have gone from fringe curiosities to key players in Scottish football. With roots tracing back to the early influence of Scottish immigrants on the Australian game, the dynamic flipped in the 1980s as a wave of adventurous Aussies crossed the globe in search of opportunity.

From Dave Mitchell blazing a trail at Rangers to Ange Postecoglou rewriting history at Celtic, this book charts four decades of goals, grit, and groundbreaking moments. Featuring exclusive interviews with stars like Tony Vidmar, Scott McDonald, and Jackson Irvine and rare insights from coaches, teammates, and journalists, Socceroos in Scotland celebrates the rise of a footballing bond that has impacted both nations.
