[Byrne Baby Byrne]

22 years of failure then Scotland qualification during Considine's 3rd cap is the dream

[Tord31]

I don't think he'll be deviating too far from the October team.

I'd say a recall for Christie is definite and a recall for Tierney is probable.

 

[Tyzo_1903]

Canna believe I just read that Grant Hanley is only 28, was sure he was about 35, seems he just plays like he's 35.

[Tyzo_1903]

Tough one to shoehorn Tierney and Armstrong in, I don't think he should. Doubt he'll change it too much from the teams in the last 3 games, sadly I think Andy will miss out now McKenna is back.

                                            Marshall

                        Gallagher McTominay Mckenna

O' Donnell                                                               Robertson

                      McLean      McGinn     McGregor

                                Dykes           Fraser

Anybody else just do a double take and go back and double check Hanley WASNT  in the fucking thing!  Close call.

If Andy is being dropped surely its for Tierney and not McKenna?

I think Cooper also deserves a look. McTominay and Gallagher stick on but an absolute toss up between Tierney, McKenna, Cooper and Considine for the last spot. Personally I would guess McKenna is 4th in that queue at the moment. I think he'll go with Cooper or Considine knowing they recently played with the other defenders listed.

I'd reckon Tierney is a certainty.

It's the exact position he plays for Arsenal.

Ok let's go for it. I might personally just prefer a better defender in there.

He is in...sadly, according to bbc - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54798016

For some reason he wasn't listed in the link i copied. Sadly though he is in the squad, fuck knows how. Thought we'd moved on from that particular carthorse.

[Betty Swallicks]

Hope Andy gets a run without getting injured and I hope Jack gets a serious injury.

 

 

[aberdeen1970]

Well done Andy. 

Will be harder to get a cap this time.

I suggest pretty much impossible without us suffering a hoorin' amount of injuries/call offs for whatever reason.

I'm certain McKenna and Tierney will form the centre and left of a back 3. Gallagher probably deserves to keep his place, moving over to the right hand side of the 3 but wouldn't discount Cooper or Hanley replacing him. .

If everyone is fit, Consi doesn't even make the bench

Which is pretty much standard for Scotland games.  The overpaid EPL nancy boys will probably fancy the Serbia game but Considine probably got a great chance of a cap in the other 2 games

I wouldnt worry about that dilemma, as they'll both be injured by the time the game comes round.

[BitWait]

The managers of the EPL clubs will give their players permission to go to this one seeing its for qualification to euros. So full house and no starting spot for Andy.

[Henry]

Non-Scot watch: 7

[far's_the_bogs?]

Hanley and Shankland? Couple of decent results and the squad starts getting big headed. 

[RUL]

Griffiths is a great call up. If we need a goal he's exactly who you'd want.

Ryan Fraser and Grant Hanley out.

Down to a 25 man squad now.

Fraser is a blow. He did well last time. Maybe Christie will take his place in the starting team

[Simply Red]

Fraser and griff in the starting 11 wouldve given us a real chance. Here’s hoping thumb doesnt get injured between now and then.

Christie is the obvious shout.

 

Marshall

McTominay Gallagher X

O'Donnell Jack McGregor Robertson

Christie McGinn

Dykes

X being any of the four left sided defenders (Cooper, McKenna, consi or tierney).

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Mckenna if we're going to try and shitfest it.  Tierney if we're going to have a go (usual reservations about Tierney and Robertson together of course)

[Tord31]

I vote any of the three other than Tierney. Taking off the red tinted specs I might actually say cooper as to play the same defence as the semi final playoff

I'd go for Armstrong to replace Fraser, been very impressive for Southampton this year.
