International Recognition: Scotland U17, U19 and U21
It's easy to forget how young Thomas actually is as he seems to have been about forever having amassed over 100 first team appearances by the age of 21 since his graduation from the Falkirk Academy. Former boss John Hughes made much of his leadership qualities and his versatility is equally impressive with Scobbie as comfortable at centre-back as he is in his more regular left-back slot. A Scotland Under-21 regular Thomas earned a new five-year deal in February 2009. He also stepped up the plate belying his tender years with a string of strong performances during 2008/2009’s tense SPL run-in . Who could forget the look on his face as he opened the scoring in the 2008/09 Scottish Cup semi-final triumph over Dunfermline?
