James McFadden finally receives the credit

Written by Smithy on March 15th, 2009

FIFA have finally recognised James McFadden’s goal in Iceland. FIFA had mistakenly credited Barry Robson from Celtic as scoring the goal despite TV evidence that McFadden was the last touch before the goal.

The SFA represented McFadden’s case to FIFA after providing the evidence. FIFA have finally agreed to change their records, which brings McFadden’s records to 42 appearances for Scotland, 14 goals.

Gordon Smith commented in an interview with the Sunday Mail “FIFA have rightly changed the records. We felt this was only fair”.
