The Scottish FA Museum is at Hampden Park, of course, showing memorabilia such as the nation's oldest international cap and the oldest ticket from the original 1872 international match.
The Hall of Fame was established in 2004 and includes foreigners Brian Laudrup, Henrik Larsen, a host of Scottish footballers, Denis Law, Matt Busby, the Lisbon Lions*, Dalglish and so on. There is also Rose Reilly who was inducted in 2007.

From her local clubs Stewarton United and then Stewarton Thistle LFC in 1963, she bravely ventured into Reims, ACF Milan, several Italian clubs and then she represented Scotland and Italy before retiring at 40 years old. She won a host of various league titles and cups in France and Italy. her best moment would be in the 1984 Women's World Cup. McCrae's Battalion the 16th Battalion Royal Scots Guard from WW1 get recognised, as does Queen's Park FC, the oldest club in the country.

BUT Paul Gascoigne cannot get voted on to the long list of inductees. His nomination has been withdrawn "over concerns about his health". Gazza was due to be inducted at a dinner on October 21st.
Gascoigne scored that memorable goal against Scotland at Wembley in 1996,

he made a "piping a flute" gesture at Celtic Park in 1998 having done it before during his debut against Steau Bucharest at Ibrox.
There are other misdemeanours...so maybe he shouldn't be inducted?
Do you know who the Lisbon Lions are?
