Did Montrose not have the first black manager in Scotland called Dave Smith a few years back?

Yes, he'd been a successful manager at Whitehill Welfare but didn't last long at Montrose. The media didn't make too much of it at the time, mainly because they probably didn't have a clue where Montrose is and who they are. Dave Smith is a nice guy but he was a right dirty sod as a player!

Edinburgh City had a black player called Graeme Cole, who then went on to play for Penicuik Athletic and is now at Vale of Leithen. He comes fae Danderhall. Dan Gerrard was a cultured defender with Edinburgh University and Spartans before moving to London.

And Iffy Dieke has loads of caps for the Scotland Women's Team.

Dougie johnstone played with Eyemouth and several other East of Scotland teams. Not sure if he was ever senior. Met him at the start of the season

Ikechi Anya has now joined Sevilla.

Now at Watford - he's fast but doesnt offer much more than that.

In the last year or so quite a few black young Scottish players have broken through which is promising. Examples are Leighton McIntosh, Callum Tapping, Jordan Archer, Liam Palmer and Omar Kadir

Ain't they both English born?
