Well with Hanley playing we better get ready to start 1-0 down. Every game!!! Lithuanian home, slovakia away, malta away. When will it end for hanley

John Souttar in the u21 team.... Ahhhhh, sadly it paves the way for a grant hanley ridden defence for the nations league games. 😢 We dont have the fire power to start 1-0 down

You could have a team of 11 zidanes and still get pelted on here. This is why topics of team and squad selection a perfect stage to rant and get the frustration of our national team off our chests.

Cant believe McTominey is not getting a mention here. He is 6' 4 and very calm on the ball. I hope they go 4-2-3-1 with mcgregor Paterson Souttar Mulgrew (now berra is out) Tierney McTominey Macgregor Fraser Armstrong Robertson Griffiths But i can see 3-5-1-1 Mcgregor Souttar Mulgrew Tierney fraser McGinn McTominey Macgregor Robertson Armstrong Phillips

Back on the score sheet today, hopefully gets him back to his best in time for the qualifiers.

Any doubts over the number 1, watch the rangers game

Griffiths looked well off it yesterday. Maybe it was they way celtic were playing but he seemed well short of match sharpness, they sharpness we need. read Mcleish was concerned too about lack of game time. Phillips it is

Totally agree! Hendry was playing for Dundee, then suddenly launched into a champions league campaign, on the wrong side of central defence and with another young defender and then a very poor defender. Souttar was very suspect at hearts when he first arrived, but playing with Berra has become one of the best defenders in the league. Hendry needs an experienced player beside him, and also to play on the right side of defence. He could still be a good scotland defender

When is the squad announced for these games september? Must be in about a weeks time

Robertson assist

Much better move for McGinn. Will play more for villa. When you look at the examples of players going to the old firm over the years and just lately... Christie, Morgan, Docherty and soon hendry. young scottish players need to stay away from the old firm

Anyone concerned its less and 6 weeks to the Albania game and Griffiths has not kicked a ball??

I would give him a chance, seems like a willing runner and giving our options... i mean people were talking about kris boyd coming back into the set up. Though if he does not score a hatrick against belgium or portugal hes oot

Lots of midfielders there, maybe levein was onto something... 4-6-0 anyone? New spain

Likely not. I just think all this blame on the SFA is a bit much, yes grass routes level is way behind the "big" nations but i feel the clubs need to be looked at also for not giving young players a chance.

Croatian teams actually play their youth, they dont go loading players from english premiership reserve teams of sign players from fleetwood town and cambridge united. They give their young players a chance to develop and thats the difference. Clubs here do not do that, they would rather sign some random foreign player, english lower league player or load a player rather than give youth a chance. We have to find a way to stop that happening, maybe brexit will do that....

He needs to go out on loan to get game time, I think he does have a lot of talent but needs game which he wont get a celtic. Ralston went to united last season not sure how he did but again another one who needs to go on loan

san marino

could we not have played fiji or Guam? Maybe india, just someone who wont slaughter us before we start our campaign

Anyone wondering why we arranged a game against this team just prior to our competitive games? confidence boosters?

Does anyone else think McGinn will just waste away on the celtic bench. Look at the midfield - Brown, Ntcham Mcgregor, rogic, Bitton they are also looking at another guy harry wilson. He will be lucky to start 10 games for them. Celtic seem to be a graveyard for young scottish player at other clubs. I see Morgan and Christie going the same way. Scott Allen is exhibit A on this. Northern Ireland have a lot of players in league 1 in England but at least they are playing!!

I had a stupid idiot who kept on trying to say my passport was fake because she had never seen a UK passport before, i was over an hour trying to convince her. Eventually her Boss came over and asked what the issue was, and i was on my way within 5 mins. Idiot

Couple of travelling tips... its cheap to fly internally in the USA but expensive if you fly into or out of canada (stupid taxes) best bet is to get a bus across the border (yes there is a mega bus) and then fly. Eg, Megabus from toronto to buffalo, then fly from there. Or Fly to NY and megabus to montreal Much cheaper to do. Only issue is US border guards are total A-holes and can give you unnecessary bother just because they think they are " protecting the borders" Only downfall i can see, otherwise should be a good WC, hopefully we make it. Beer is cheap in the US too

We just dont have players with names like "Ronaldo Vieira"

Need to take hornby off. Maybe we will pass the ball then
