He also represented Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic 42 times internationally.

McGrain, widely regarded as "Scotland's greatest-ever full-back," has had his diagnosis confirmed by his family. The news of these two prominent figures in football casts a shadow over the sport, highlighting both the fragility of health and the enduring legacies of its stars.
