Scotland’s squad for the World Cup in the summer included no less than four players currently playing for clubs in the Italian top flight, with Scott McTominay, Lewis Ferguson and Che Adams headlining a list of names currently making their mark in Serie A.
However, while the aforementioned trio have become the poster boys for ‘Scots Abroad’, they aren’t the only ones to have opted to take their careers to Italy, with a host of others currently plying their trade for various clubs in the Mediterranean country.
With players currently playing in Italy, Denmark, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Croatia, and Czechia, there’s no doubt Scotland are represented the world over.
Here we look at the nine Scottish players currently playing in Serie A and Serie B, and assess how they've done for their Italian teams in the opening months of the season. Who has enjoyed a successful start to the campaign - and who needs to improve in the months ahead?

9. Kieron Bowie - Sassuolo (loan)
The 24-year-old was allowed to leave Hellas Verona on loan in the summer following their relegation to Serie A. He scored his first goal for the club in a dramatic 3-2 win over Italian giants Juventus last month, but has largely been used as an impact substitute, starting just three of the club's seven league games thus far. | Getty Images
