Home Scots v Anglo-Scots was an annual association football trial match organised by the Scottish Football Association between the 1890s and 1920s to examine the abilities of possible players for upcoming full British Home Championship internationals, primarily the 'Auld Enemy' England v Scotland fixture. Selection trials were commonplace among football federations, but this match was unusual in that its regular format consisted of players based in one country facing a selection of those who had moved to another country, in order to form a combined team to oppose that other country's natives in international play.
Walter McGibbon Hay was a Scottish footballer who played as a right back, primarily for St Mirren. He played a part in the run to the Paisley club's Scottish Cup victory in 1926, but did not take part in the final, with Andrew Findlay preferred. Hay was an established part of the team by the time the Buddies reached another final in 1934, but this time they lost 5–0 to Rangers. The following season he signed for Rangers, but was only a reserve to the almost-ever present Dougie Gray and Whitey McDonald so was not entitled to a medal from their 1934–35 Scottish Division One title win, nor was he involved in their Scottish Cup final victory of that year, although he played for the Gers in the competition's First Round.
Alexander Currie Fraser was a Scottish footballer who played mainly as an defender and featured for Rangers between 1902 and 1906.
James Hickie (1915–1973) was a Scottish footballer who played as a left back. In a professional career badly affected by World War II, prior to the conflict he won the Scottish Cup with Clyde in 1939 and was selected for the Scottish Football League XI. During wartime he turned out for Clyde, St Mirren and Dumbarton in unofficial competitions, and at its end he accepted an invitation from William Reaside to play in Mexico for a year, alongside Jackie Milne and Tom McKillop, before returning to Scotland where he played briefly for Dunfermline Athletic.
Walter Bruce was a Scottish footballer who played for Vale of Leven, Renton and St Mirren as a centre half. His elder brother Daniel was also a footballer who won the English FA Cup with Notts County in 1894 and later played for St Mirren, possibly being involved in Walter's move there in 1898 after Renton resigned from the Scottish Football League earlier that season.
Robert Stevenson was a Scottish footballer who played as a inside left for Morton, St Mirren, Clydebank and Arthurlie. He left Morton the year before the Greenock club won the Scottish Cup in 1922, but was a regular member of their team in the period around World War I when they finished in the top four of the Scottish Football League table for six seasons running. He did take part in both of the Navy and Army War Fund Shield finals, the first of which in 1915 Morton won by defeating Rangers and the second in 1918 which they lost to Celtic. After he moved to Renfrewshire derby rivals St Mirren, Stevenson quickly struck up a fruitful partnership with fellow new signing Dunky Walker, who finished as the top scorer across European club football in their first season together.
John Fairbairn was a Scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Heart of Midlothian in the late 19th century. He won the Scottish Cup with the club in 1891 and 1896, and was a Scottish Football League title winner in 1896–97, playing in all 18 fixtures. His last game for Hearts was in 1898 but he is reported to have signed for Abercorn in 1903, though no appearances were recorded for him with the Paisley club so it is likely he was registered as an experienced backup player for a potential goalkeeping emergency which did not come to pass.
