Dont think any chance Fraser will be called up, behaved like a pr1ck too many times. Would like to see a Gauld or Doak (if fit) but cannot see it. Cairney decent but showed zero interest in playing for us. Think O'Donnell has to come in if Patterson out.

David Turnbull probably, though he isnt even starting for Cardiff at moment.

Yes agree. Confirmed as long term knee injury, what a shame for the guy.

The above is fine if others stay fit, but McTominay is out at moment and McGinn plays every minute for Villa it seems so risk he could get an injury. I think its a huge blow, even if Ferguson doesnt start he is an excellent substitute off bench who can create and/or score.

Not sure if been posted elsewhere but interview with Harvey Barnes who says he wants to get into England squad, dont see that happening but rules him out for a Scotland call up if that is his mindset: https://www.tntsports.co.uk/football/premier-league/2023-2024/harvey-barnes-exclusive-midfielder-outlines-dream-england-ambitions-says-bruno-guimaraes-committed-t_sto10098883/story.shtml

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/brendan-rodgers-offers-callum-mcgregor-28793190.amp Rodgers hoping back after international break though sounds bit vague on timeline and if they know what issue is. Worrying, thought McGregor was outstanding in last qualifier v Norway at Hampden.

I have been trying to buy tickets for a group of 11 of us for Nations League games this morning but website is only allowing me to buy four at a time, anyone else had this issue?

This sounds a great option, will take a look. Thanks very much.

Cheers, i am using the basel frieburg airport for germany game and there is a flight back first thing tuesday after hungary game so an option for return. Freiburg meant to be nice city i hear. Did look at Strasbourg too but looks a pretty small airport as you say. Ill try looking at Paris too, sounds decent option.

Looked into this, still over 400 quid.

What flights are people using to get to this game? For family reasons I am having to come back after Germany game (which ive already booked) but looking to go back out for Hungary for couple of days. As expected flights are very expensive. Best found so far is Newcastle to Frankfurt Sat to Mon for £400. Should have booked up earlier but after watching Scotland fukk up for last 20 years didnt want to jinx us!

Agree with this. I think we need to really target Swiss game. I watched them v Israel in qualifiers and thought they were awful defensively. Scrambled a draw v Belarus at home too with 2 injury time goals and drew home and away with Kosovo. They looked to me like a maybe coming to the end of their cycle. The Liverpool midfielder (not even gonna try spelling his name) is absolutely key to Hungary, he single handedly defeated Montenegro in their last qualifier. Could be an issue for them if not fit. Tierney, Robertson, McGinn and McTominay key for us, injuries to any and think we will struggle to get out group.

Goal was very similar to the chance he missed v Norway before Armstrong put us 3-2 up. Still dont think good enough.

Havent read that but maybe true.

They need Israel to qualify. Massive game tomorrow, Israel v Romania, winner all but qualifies.
