Grant Hanley captained Scotland through some of their most significant recent moments, including the Euro 2020 campaign — their first major tournament in 23 years. A no-nonsense central defender who built his reputation at Blackburn before becoming a Championship stalwart at Norwich, he has always prioritised defensive solidity over elegance. Now at Hibernian after spells at Birmingham and Norwich, he is in the latter stages of a career defined by dependability rather than flair. His leadership experience remains valuable to Scotland even as younger centre-backs push for prominence in the squad.
