piffer Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Jack Hendry called up after Devlin pulled out. Hendry hasn’t started for Celtic in over a month. In the time I don’t think he’s managed 45minutes of first team action. What have others got to do to get a look in. Liam Lindsey was getting rave reviews before he left Partick. The move down south seems to have pushed him further out of the picture rather than bring him into the fold. Cooper and Hanley are both playing regularly at a high level in England. Our own Findlay is performing well. There’s a case for others as well McLeish does seem to be losing it. He’s now going into two important fixtures with a random bunch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s now going into two important fixtures with a random bunch This is frightening - he is one of the worst centre halves in the Premier league and beyond belief he has been called up again. Findlay and Broadfoot are both miles ahead of him but they don't play for the right club, so there is no way they wold have been picked. I always liked McLeish but I think he has completely lost the plot now. Still hoping for 2 Scotland victories though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candygram for mongo Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 While I'm disappointed for big SOD missing out, I think it may be a blessing in disguise for him that he's not going to be associated with what I predict will be a shambles that won't end well for Scotland. I think the SFA are now going to reap what they've sown in removing Strachan and bringing in McLeish. Bringing in Bain is ridiculous and as said on here Henry is poor. Both of these guys would be nowhere near the squad if they weren't at Celtic. I'm actually surprised Celtic signed Henry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted November 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 The wrong result here could do some irreparable damage to the careers of some of those involved. I agree @Candygram for mongo. It might just be a blessing in disguise that SOD is injured and the only player we have selected is unlikely to play. I can’t help but feel this group will be lambs to the slaughter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historyman Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 When you look at the squad now you really have to doubt they will pick up anything from these two games. A far stronger squad was comprehensively outplayed by Israel. Fans can complain about Strachan but there was no doubt that the players wanted to play for him - on this evidence that same cannot be said for McLeish. There are way too many dropping out for it to simply be an unlucky coincidence. I wouldn't be at all surprised if McLeish's reign ends abruptly after these two games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) I predict Berat Gjims**ti will score the winner. The tabloid headlines will be "Another Gjims**ti night for Scotland". Oh well, the censorship bot kinda ruined that.

RAG Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Defenders: Scott McKenna (Aberdeen), Andy Robertson (Liverpool), Graeme Shinnie (Aberdeen), David Bates (Hamburg), Jack Hendry (Celtic).

We also played against Norway with two Caldwells in the centre of defence.
