My best 11: Elliot Miller, QBE
QBE national general manager Elliot Miller selects his Best XI for an insurance start-up. Miller has selected an entirely Scottish team, including a former Rangers legend in goal and a range of brokers and insurers.
1. Andy Goran (GK)
The best Scottish goalkeeper of all time and certainly the best British goalkeeper of his generation. A true Rangers legend
2. Graeme MacMillan (Marsh) (RB) An athletic fullback who surveys the game in front of him, watches its development and makes crucial interceptions to break up attacks
3. Finlay Smith (QBE) (LB)
The director of UK & European property markets, Smith is a highly rated player whose experience is invaluable to the team. Nothing gets past him
4. Scott Brown (Towergate) (CM)
Made his reputation as a midfield enforcer but is deceptively creative and deploys his skills to hurt the opposition to maximum effect
5. John Cameron (Chartis) (CB)
A gentleman who is solid at the back, reads the game well and can make a decisive pass
6. Donald Carmichael (Chartis) (CB)
A passionate Scot whose tenacity to win drives the team forward
7. Chris Sime (RSA) (RM)
A tricky winger who regularly outplays the opposition and is not afraid to tell his team-mates to pull their socks up
8. Tim Bluck (QBE) (CM)
Our senior casualty underwriter brings technical excellence and is a real creative force in the team
9. John Nicholson (Marsh) (ST)
Every team needs experience and John has this in abundance. He is respected and feared by the opposition in equal measure
10. Chris Giles (Giles) (ST)
The Giles executive chairman leads from the front and enjoys his reputation as a successful ‘target' man
11. George Maxwell (QBE) (LM)
George has smooth silky skills that get him past the opposition to set up lots of opportunities
