Ireland no a foreign country anymore?

 

Edit: The players must meet both of the following two criteria:

 

1. Have played at least one Scottish Premier League game. Players who were signed by Scottish Premier League clubs, but only played

 

in lower league, Domestic Cup competitions and/or European games, or did not play in any competitive games at all, are not included.

 

2. Are considered foreign, i.e., outside The United Kingdom and Ireland (the 'British Isles').

Ireland has been a soverign and independent country since 1922.

 

Having said that, there are numerous historical, cultural, geographical, sporting and political reasons why Ireland and the United Kingdom have a special relationship.
