As much/more for his leadership as for his ability That may be. However, if he decides he has had enough (as he has before) then nothing can be done about it.

He'll be lucky if he plays another game for Rangers. Danny Wilson is ahead if him in both respects and also nowhere near good enough for either. Fair enough, you've obviously seen a lot more of him than me. I've only seen bits and he looked ok for a 20 year old who's just been chucked in.

Nope, but what does my ability to instantly recall what everyone's doing at a freekick have to do with anything? I went and looked, he's marking the number 5 who makes a run well under the ball and isn't involved in the goal in any way. Maybe worth noting that Berra's on his toes, expecting a run, while Fletcher is flat footed, weight on his heels, and that's why he gets beaten by the runner. It's basic stuff. Anyway, what was your point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazziessc Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 From our last squad I think the following will apply: KEEPERS Jordan Archer - Squad keeper. Craig Gordon - No.1 Allan McGregor - Squad Keeper (if even called up) Same for D. Marshall DEFENDERS Ikechi Anya - Squad defender (if even called up) Christophe Berra - Part of defence Liam Cooper - Squad defender Grant Hanley - Squad defender (however he shouldn't be getting called up) Charlie Mulgrew - Part of defence Andrew Robertson - Part of defence Kieran Tierney - Part of defence Steven Whittaker - Last Scotland squad for him even if he doesn't retire. Stuart Armstrong -Part of midfield Barry Bannan - Squad midfielder Scott Brown - Will retire from INT football Darren Fletcher - Will retire from INT football James Forrest - Squad midfielder Ryan Fraser - Squad midfielder James McArthur - Squad midfielder John McGinn - Squad midfielder James Morrison - Squad midfielder Matt Phillips -Squad midfielder Matt Ritchie - Squad midfielder Robert Snodgrass - Squad midfielder * I expect to see C. McGregor part of midfield, O. Burke squad midfielder and T. Cairney squad midfielder. STRIKERS Steven Fletcher - Should be finished at INT level but will likely be a squad striker due to a lack of alternatives. Leigh Griffiths - Striker Chris Martin - Squad Striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 32, teetering on the edge of retiring again, and surely on the brink of decline. If we pin our hopes on a fit, commited Scott Brown for the Nations' League we're just setting ourselves up for a rerun of the Darren Fletcher situation. Get McGinn, even Shinnie in now and see if they're up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
