First of all you has to explain, when you say scottish league is the scottish premier league, the current scottish football league or the scottish football league before the separation\n\nIf you mean the SPL the answer is easy is Henrik Larsson he won the PFA Player of the Year in 1998/99 and 2000/2001 the Writers Player of the Year in 1998/99 and 2000/2001 and was the Top Scorer in 1998/99 with 29 in 2000/2001 with 35 in 2001/2002 with 29 in 2002/2003 with 28 and in 2003/2004 with 30 \n\nHe is the all-time SPL goalscorer with 158 goals,1998-2004  \nand the player with most hat tricks in the SPL 12,1998-2004 \n\nIf you mean the scottish football league before the separation the best all-time football player is Jimmy McGrory who scored 397 goals all for Celtic (that is only in the league because he had a total of 470)\n\nAnd in the current scottish football league I have to say Jerome Vareille of Airdrie United

Andriy Shevchenko / then tied between Frank Lampard / Steven Gerrard\n\nWell, I would say the best players are ones who make the entire team better (through a combination of leadership and also because he is so dangerous on his own that the other team needs to pay more attention, leaving his teammates to cause damage).  Great players can also take over on their own when needed, especially in clutch/difficult situations.\n\nSo, I believe Ronaldinho is the best player in the world, but the second best player should probably be Wayne Rooney.  He causes so much havoc for the other team, injects so much energy into the team spirit and can either take over a game or free up his team to cause damage (Ruud Van Nistelrooy, e.g.).\n\nBut, Man U have not been performing, so the team would have to be Chelsea - therefore, must be Frank Lampard because he can do so many things.  Steven Gerrard plays a similar role, and he is clutch, but I think they both come behind Andriy Shevchenko who scores goals (leads Serie A every year), wins leagues, wins the European Champions League (or gets his team to the final), and makes his teammates better.  So, Andriy Shevchenko!\n\nThierry Henry, if he ever produced in clutch games, would be in this list as well.

I'm not sure I can get all six but Frank McDougall of Aberdeen was top scorer in the mid-eighties. 84-85? I'm also fairly certain Willie Pettigrew was leading scorer one season towards the end of the 1970's. 76-77? Wasn't there also a St Mirren player at the head of the scoring list one season?

Currently it would have to be Thierry Henry\nBut of all time without a doubt Pele

Pele. He is being regarded as the Legend in football/soccer game. You can't complete the history of football without mentioning his name. He is all time hero.

arguebly george best .alas! this greatest of all time grearts is no more . tears come down we could not see this man is not in action at present . i wish he should have born now . when we see some of his older film , i feel what a player he was ,possing abandant of skill and brilliances . we remember only maradona, pele, boby charlton, boby moor, but nobody seems bother about this creature of god who once ruled the english and european circuit only but never played any world cup .

He is the best of the current players. For mine, Pele is probably the best ever. Pele is often considered the complete midfield and attacking player, he was completely two-footed, a clinical finisher, exceptionally skilled at dribbling and passing, and a remarkably good tackler for a forward. He was famed for his speed and kicking strength and scored 1,281 goals over the course of his career. Along with Maradona, he was FIFA player of the century but Pele was the better sportsman for mine.

Brilliant one and i'm English. Well done the Rangers and well done Scottish Lad the Celtic supporter for his answer. Nice to see that sometimes football has no boundry's.

I would go with Pele, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. Each a star of his own era. \n\nAll 3 are legends. \n\nI'm a fan of Brasil Team.\n\nThey won today's game agains Croatia 1-0. It was a tough game.

i agree. pele was absolutely incredible. he didnt just have the skill but he had the brains and vision of a world class footballer. but for me at the moment it has to be thierry henry closely followed by ronaldinho, then kaka, then steven gerrard

Do you mean current, or all-time?\n\nCurrent would have to be either Ronaldinho or Robinho.\n\nAll-time would be as follows:\n\n5) Sócrates\n4) Roberto Carlos\n3) Zico\n2) Romário\n\nand of course the No 1 has to be ...\n\nPELÉ!

Ronaldihno. No doubt. He makes everyone in his team a lot better plus his skills are of the chart. Oh and back to back FIFA world player of the year doesn't hurt either.
