[Mr Brightside]

Marshall

 

Hutton

Hanley

Martin

Robertson

 

Fletcher

Morrison

 

Dorrans

Naismith

Anya

 

Fletcher

 

Of course we might go more defensive and swap Steven fletch with Scott Brown as we are playing the big guns of georgia

[The Hulk]

Pleased to see Stevie May in there, he's had a good start at Sheff Weds. And mini-Messi gets some full squad experience too.

I'd been wondering if Scott Arfield might have been in contention for this squad, but the midfield is quite strong.

Doubt Reynolds will get any game time but it'll be a good experience nonetheless.

[Dynamo]

Shouldn't it say 'Ryan Gauld (Sporting Lisbon B Team)'?

Thought Tom Cairney might have been in the mix too! Interesting that Rhodes continues to be left out in the cold.

[Ingolfsson]

Play two up front v Georgia.

 

They will play very defensively and are fucking brutal. Weak mentality in the squad. One early goal and they will totally chuck it. Ketsbaia (their gaffer) is on his way out.

 

I'd be disappointed if we don't win by at least 3 in this one.

the lack of Jordan Rhodes suggests we have no plans to go two upfront.

[True_Don]

still can't understand why mccormack or rhodes aren't in the squad. May has just arrived in the Championship, those 2 have been scoring and playing well at that level for the past couple of seasons...

[Dynamo]

Strachan doesn't like Rhodes.

[dave_min]

Why isn't Ronney in the squad?

 

Typical anti-Aberdeen bias from the Glasgow FA.

Never heard of him.

Someone should fire a rocket up Strachan's arse.

 

There's a cue for that.

[StandFree1982]

Strachan doesn't like Rhodes.

Heard he's more of a Crete man.

[Dynamo]

These attempts at humour are dismal.

 

None of you are funny.

I'm not sure anyone is actively attempting to be funny, however 360s lack of humour is best exploited by throwing around pish humour and seeing which bits he catches.

I have wagered my life savings on Scotland -3 on the back of your recommendation.

[TwoStars]

Anything but a win would make it a real struggle to make some headway, especially with Poland away on the Tuesday.

[Stoney]

international fitba is pish.

 

only windae lickers like it

[dave_min]

It won't be 2 upfront, it'll be 1.

 

I'm off to go lick the windows, they're nice and refreshing after all this rain.

[King Street Loon]

What day is this game on?

[dave_min]

5pm on Saturday.

[ChutneyLove]

Saturday 5pm ko or something backward like that.

[The Boofon]

Is it played in Scotland or Georgia?

 

Edit. Scotland obviously given the order of the thread title.

 

 

2-1 Georgia.
