HibeeJibee Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Hibs youngster Yrick Gallantes - on loan at Gala - made his international debut for the Phillipnes v Guam in WC 2022 qualifying earlier. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hibs/latest-hibs-news/philippines-head-coach-hails-hibs-kid-yrick-gallantes-and-reveals-why-he-subbed-him-in-first-half-1-5001382 Would this be unprecedented at Scottish non-league level? I'd haziest recollections someone got called-up by an African nation while at Edusport a few years ago. However it was U23s and unsure if he played: On 27/07/2015 at 17:46, HibeeJibee said: Loic Mangala who was with Berwick's development XI last season, through Edusport, has been called-up for DR Congo's Olympic team Anyone?

The Wiki suggets Odmar got an under 19 cap at Keith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 There was a Maltese international that played for Bo'ness United at one point. Don't remember if he got capped while at Newtown Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Not full international but there was a player at east junior club Tayport last season on loan from Dundee United who played for the Mozambique U23 team whilst at the club (I assume it was an olypmic qualifier). Name of said player escapes me however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely didn't get capped during his time at Bo'ness. However I think he made his debut for us within a matter of months after facing up to the likes of Thierry Henry on international duty! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS7 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I know it's not quite the same, but, wikipedia has danish international Per Bartram playing for Bonnyrigg Rose around 1978. No one I know can shed any light on this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
