As Ryan Jack recovers from the ordeal of a couple of dozen fans booing him on his international debut he joins the small band of players to have been abused and jeered on international duty.
Celtic players have been in the firing line in various situations with the ferocity of club rivalries often being carried into the international arena.
For generations Rangers supporters made up the bulk of the Scotland support with Ibrox players inevitably being picked to keep the supporters onside.
As an obvious example Ronnie McKinnon won 28 Scotland caps- one less than Billy McNeil with McKinnon making his international debut in 1965. McNeil made his Scotland debut in 1961 but could rarely get in the international side during Celtic’s dominant years of the laste sixties due to McKinnon.
With the bedrock Scotland support now drawn from the remotest parts of the country there is no real handicap to the international career of Celtic players with Gordon Strachan regularly starting with six Celts in his starting XI.
It is a sad story, hopefully there will be no additions with international fans supporting the jersey rather than club colours.
