not if he doesn't associate with being Scottish he's not, but I don't know if he does or not. People can choose nationality by residency, citzenship, heritage etc. Can't see why it would bother anyone to be honest

That is debatable to say the least, he has a number of rumoured different birth places but all in Britannia.
doesn't matter anyway, debatable or not
No Scottish that i now of in my ancestary.
I'm actually more Irish than McCarthy, so i can rightfully as a half Irish person ( which he is not ) call him Scottish ( Which he is )
Correct Mooms. Unlike James with his undoubted Irish heritage.
He seems more Irish to me than you do! People can't decide where they are born... he obviously resonates with being Irish otherwise he wouldn't declare for Ireland... you don't resonate with Ireland so can't be more Irish than him... again though, why do you care so much about it?
Patrick might have actually come from Roman heritage. Its unsure of his heritage, unlike Judas McCarthy. He is Scottish.
Its a stupid rule, grandparents and that. Should be parents only.
James's mum and dad were both born and raised in Scotland so ergo he is Scottish. Its that simple.
and you're not Scottish?! riiiiiight
it's not that simple at all... my ex was born in ireland to irish parents grew up mostly in London then moved to ireland and has spent much more time in ireland than in England but regards herself as English...why? Who cares, she just does and it's her business! That's how things work...what resonates with people, not others drawing lines in the sand on flags and especially not campaigners on a forum
100% not Scottish. Scouser born and bred to Irish mother and Scouse father ( but paternal grandfather who was Spanish )
Proper mongrel, as most Scousers are.
He is Scottish though mate, it's quite simple really.
Are you real or faux Irish?
