Not seen this player, but an intriguing one.

Lee Wallace will be back in contention. He's good defensively. Admittedly he sometimes looks like the worst player I've ever seen and at other times outstanding. He's big if nothing else.
I'm not sure if it's the back four or the two defensive midfielders but somethings not right. Bring in a specialist defensive coach. Strachan can't know as much about defending as a defender? Add Gough, Weir or Miller to the coaching team.
One problem with last nights game was playing the ball around the defence way too deep and often because our midfielders didn't want the ball. Yir man Ferguson could take a ball anywhere, anytime, and not lose it. So there you are.
They did indeed manage it, in the true sense of the word, so no fluke. It was money and effort, and if they keep up the investment it will continue indefinitely.
tomorrow will be a good barometer. I expect Gauld, Macleod and Fraser to be in the World Cup squads. I wouldn't go crazy but we need 4 or 5 to come in. Armstrong would be another and Watt, depending on if he can grow up.
