The Scottish Football League XI, established in 1892, was a representative team showcasing players from the Scottish Football League. Over the decades, they competed against other league select teams, such as the English Football League XI, and occasionally against national teams. In the early 20th century, these matches were significant events, often attracting large crowds. However, the team's prominence waned after the 1950s, with the rise of European club competitions. Their final match took place on August 16, 1990, at Hampden Park, celebrating the centenary of the Scottish Football League. In a historic encounter, the League XI faced the Scotland national team, featuring stars like Charlie Nicholas, Theo Snelders, Pat Nevin, and Gary McAllister. Before 15,085 fans, Aberdeen's Hans Gillhaus scored the only goal in the 12th minute, securing a 1-0 win for the League XI. This marked the end of an era for a team that had showcased Scotland's finest football talents, making the commemorative shirt from this match a true collector's treasure.
