And he said he’d hopefully back on Friday so can’t be too bad. Glad he’s not risked him.

Seems Adams is still injured? Fraser still on the bench.

I think I’m in denial. Hopefully he can pull off some SOD Euros performances.

Wonder if Clarke will try to do something clever to get Gilmour, McGregor, Christie, McGinn and McTominay in the same starting 11. We’d probably need to play a 4321 formation, shifting Tierney to centre back in a 2. Could possibly move Hendry to right back to give us extra height and to remove the need for Ralston or McCrorie. could me making it too complicated though…

And that role is definitely not what he’d be asked to do for Scotland. Doig fits our system and is 5 years younger.

McGregor was quality and Forrest looks sharp (but possibly not up to 90mins). Thought Taylor was really poor, and incredibly lucky to be in Celtic’s starting 11 and in our squad. I’m hoping Doig might get selected instead. Ralston looked clumsy when he came on. He’d also be very lucky to be in the squad. Maybe Max Johnston can get a couple of starts for Sturm Graz to give himself an opportunity.

They have also have Ben White (who doesn’t seem to like Southgate to be fair), Rico Lewis (19) and Archie Gray (18) too. one of Gray or Livramento would be good!

The drop off after Hickey and Patterson is huge. We’re going to need to give them both the biggest opportunity we can. Even if one of the two can only manage one group game.

Schar has since told Swiss media that he doesn’t think the injury is too bad, expects to play for Newcastle again this season and will be fit for the Euros. I know because he’s in my fantasy football team 😅.

Looks like Turnbull had another poor game for Cardiff, losing 5-2 to bottom of the league. There was a wide open space for him in the squad but don’t see how he can justify a place. Disappointing that Conway and McCrorie also don’t seem to have played well in their final game. Both off at 57 mins after going 4-0 down. They’ve both got a chance of call ups too.

Is there not more chance of getting spare (or at least, cheaper) tickets from people when you’re actually there? I would imagine that these ticombo tickets will also become cheaper a day before the game/hours before because the seller will be desperate? Am I talking shite or does anyone have experience of this?

I would probably have Forrest in my squad. But he’d only be bench option, which isn’t ideal. Would be nice to have a fully fit, match sharp, 90minute player in this position in the squad. Especially given that Armstrong (if he makes it) will only just be back from injury, potential for more injuries, and the fact we’ll be playing 3 games in quick succession. Hopefully Ryan Fraser starts and impresses in Southampton’s final games to give us another option.

Fair enough, respect your opinion. Although, we should have won that game with or without McGinn, and helping someone like Ferguson integrate with the team benefits the whole squad. McGinn is going to end up being one of the most played players in Europe by the end of the season.

He could predict that there would potentially be injuries at the end of a season. He always picks small squads and doesn’t always replace players that pull out. I get that he wants a tight knit squad but one or two additions would have helped. He also doesn’t tend to give newer players a chance, eg not starting Ferguson against Northern Ireland. Playing McGinn against them had little benefit, imagine it was him that was injured instead of Ferguson.
