Skacel and Cameron definitely but when I saw the thread title Ravanelli immediately came to mind. The other one I thought of is Chris Waddle but he doesn't quite meet the OP's criteria as I think he had left Falkirk by 1998.

Folk naming Snodgrass , Andy Robertson etc these players are big now never done much in Scottish football when they were hear its best players to play in SPL outside old firm not Biggest names to play outside old firm which they are now .

John McGinn 

Stephen Fletcher 

Gary O’Connor  

Colin Cameron 

Rudi 

Takis

Liam Boyce - League top scorer a few seasons back when playing for Ross County - remarkable feat

 

Although I think a better question would be top players who never played for Hearts or the Old Firm since 98 as you would really need to think about opposition players, ones that you would want in your team

James McFadden - being to get the grey matter moving here, a bit difficult tho as I still think it`s 1979

James McCarthy would be the stand out imo. He’s a traiting plastic rodent though so good shout with McFadden.

Robert Snodgrass at Livi

 

He’s one of my favourite current West Ham players. Doesn’t play enough. He’s also daft as a brush,

Eremenko was unbelievable, just looked so natural with the ball.

 

Rudi Skacel, thankfully, never played for either of them :wub: 

To think Rudi was scouted for Celtic as a left back and even trained with them but the opted for Mo Kamara! 😂

Eion Jess and Sol Bamba both played a lot of football up here and went on to have good careers down south. For two that haven't been mentioned already.

An embarrassment of a podcast from them. Rudi wouldn’t have got a game for the old firm and Mark De Vries was hopeless according to them. Garry O’Connor however was like Messi up here and had more to his game than even rat boy 🙈🙈😂😂. Zero research as per. 5 ex hibs players mentioned. Not one Hearts player from the 2006 squad mentionEd, you know the squad that included a European champion and champions league winner. The season after we had a Chilean internationalist who went on to play in the Italian leagues consistently. Then we have Gary Naismith who went onto a great career in England. Colin Cameron, Robbie Neilson, Stephane Adam, Thomas Flogel, Salvatori etx etx. A shambles of a podcast. Steven Fletcher, Gary O’Connor, John McGinn, Frank Sauze and Russel Latapy.

They mentioned Rudi.  It isn’t a hearts based podcast either it’s three Celtic fans on the show, they aren’t going to remember loads of hearts players.  Flogel, Adam and Salvatori played before 2000 Cameron and Naysmith left in 2000.  Not sure what you expected?  Robbie Neilson in the top ten non old firm players aye? :lol: Rudi Takis and Janny are worth a shout Pingol done nothing in Scotland.

Quality, now I can double my hate for the wee prick.

A bit of research wouldn’t have went a miss. It’s basically players they know, wanted at Celtic or played for the clubs they supported. Not many players come up to Scotland, split the old firm, get champs league football and win a trophy. Not one of them made the list other than rudi and he was written off instantly. Was an embarrassment.

It’s a few pals on a football show talking crap.  I don’t think open goal is for you if you expected different tbh.  Kyle bigged up Rudi tremendously.  Apart from Rudi our best players the season splitting the old firm all went to Celtic bar our left back.

So that make it ok to dismiss great Hearts players :cornette:

What great players did they dismiss?  There’s not one “great” player they missed. Btw it’s since 2000.

I love open goal, I love Si and the boys. Just thought considering we are the best side outside the old firm historically, that’s facts, that they’d have actual attempted to look at us. Duncan Sherear 😂😂
