Notes

    1. The SFA credit the third Scotland goal to Davie Wilson, [2] but RSSSF credit the goal to Pat Quinn. [3]
    2. The match was played as a tie-breaking play-off because Scotland and Czechoslovakia were level on 6 points. It finished 2–2 after 90 minutes and was decided by a period of extra time.
    3. The match was abandoned after 79 minutes by English referee Jim Finney after two Austrian players were sent off. Finney said afterwards: "I felt that I had to abandon the match or somebody would have been seriously hurt." [3] The match was recognised by FIFA as an official international and caps were awarded by the SFA.
    4. 1 2 3 4 5 6 The 1967 and 1968 British Home Championships were also used as a UEFA Euro 1968 qualifying group. Scotland finished in second place in group 8 and did not progress further in the competition.
    5. 1 2 3 4 5 Five matches from the 1967 SFA tour were reclassified as full internationals in 2021. [6] [7] [8]
    6. Some reports list Eddie Colquhoun as the second goalscorer, others as Harry Hood. [9]
    7. Some reports assign only 3 goals to Joe Harper, crediting the others to Willie Morgan (his second) and a Canadian own goal. [9]
    8. 1 2 3 Three friendly matches were organised in 1973 to celebrate the centenary of the Scottish Football Association. These were against traditional rivals England, 1970 FIFA World Cup winners Brazil and UEFA Euro 1972 winners West Germany.
    9. Ninian Park, the normal home ground for Wales at the time, was not used because there had been disorder at a Wales match there in 1976. The Football Association of Wales decided to play the match at Anfield, rather than an alternative Welsh ground such as the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham, because it had a much greater capacity. [30]
