He was supposed to play for the Scotland Probables in the first trial match of season 1937-38.

He did however turn out for the Scotland Probables side for the second and final trial match of that season, on 15 January 1938.[4]

Tait played in only one match for Scotland, in 1935 against England at Murrayfield.[5]
