Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.

John McPhail was a Scottish footballer who spent his entire senior playing career with Celtic. He also played for Scotland, gaining five caps. Upon his retirement from professional football, he wrote for the Daily Record and The Celtic View. He was the elder brother of Billy McPhail, also a former Celtic player. — Wikipedia
