No Ryan Fraser. Maybe Clarke has had enough of him and doesn't want to give him another chance.
I initially had the same thought, but I believe he is injured or just back and lacking fitness. Fraser we really should be taking to the EURO's.

Biggest surprises are 25 names and four jeepers.

Did you see me walking on the sidewalk on the way to the convenience store for some soda? I was in a rush to get back for the soccer. All Kidding aside, I do not.

I wear my jerseys outside of match day, Khaki's and a home jersey are my go-to's. I live abroad so maybe my attitude is different.

Do their shirts not have the adidas name on the front?
Yes they do, I have posted a few picture of jerseys I've bought from DHGate and given my feedback on them. I've never owned an official/replica of one I have bought from DHGate in order to totally scrutinize the material but from the ones I have, I would not even suspect they are not the real ones.

What do you make of them McT?

Apparently the away top is mint green in person as opposed to white. If you look at the picture you can just about see it
Where did you hear about mint green?

Its bold and modern, not sure I like it but Ill get it for the collection. That said, with all these abstract lines, would having a saltire in among them of been so difficult? I expect the away version wil be more subdued.

Could you ever have imagined this? One of the top players in the Italian top league not a guarantee to start for Scotland? I never in my wildest dreams. I don't know what it is, or who is to take credit, but we have some talent coming now, and a top manager... With the right formation, using every player to their proper potential, we have some side coming through. The thing I love the most compared to previous years, not one of these players call in sick. They want to be a part of this, they want to represent Scotland.... They I ow now that the jersey is not a given, they must work for it.. Good times ahead troops..
All we need now is a striker, and if you ask me, get a midfield that can feed Shankland, we are on it.....

I wouldn’t wish injury on any player, but I wouldnae exactly be greetin in ma soup if Szoboszlai pick up a wee injury just before the euros. Nothing serious.
Isn't he just coming back from a wee spell out?
-
I have a formation I'm playing with
4-2(Gilmour and McGregor)-1(Ferguson)-2(McGinn and McSauce)-1
It has us a bit narrow and has McTominay not playing to his strength's.
4-3-2-1
Perhaps we go with a Christmas tree, it leaves Christie on the bench so that's up for debate.
Amazing scenario we are in, as in we seem to be developing a stronger bench however this pans out.
-
For everyone else away to click on the link, he isn't injured. Enjoy the Op-Ed. I'm sitting here pen on paper trying to figure out how to get him in my 11.
-
If it were me, I'd be calling up a large squad.
-
I expect our squad for Netherlands and Northern Ireland released in the next few days which should give some insight into where Clarke's head is at. I would not expect any new faces who don't appear in this squad to be in the one for the Euro's unless it's an absolute emergency.
-
I was looking at the Christmas tree formation that Man Utd played today and was considering if we used that who would play. 4 -3 - 2 -1
Defense(left to right) - Robertson, Tierney, Porteous, Hickey/Paterson
Christie, McGregor, Gilmour
McTominay & McGinn
Shankland
I'm really hoping for Turnbull to have a fruitful spell in Cardiff. Ferguson is playing great and will be in the squad.
Ryan Fraser to be an impact sub, which likely warrants a change of shape if he appears.
-
Dykes for us seems so instrumental to how we play currently, his physicality is something we don't have from any of the other forwards. Thats not a technical ability but rather a mental one and he has the physical tools to put that to good use. I would have him in the squad, and I think he would be suited to start against Germany but the other matches were we need to more positive, assertive and get at least one win from Hungary or Switzerland we should be looking to others. These friendlies are crucial to give others more opportunity and an alternative game plan.

I'm creating another EURO's playlist to share.

This looks fantastic.

Looking at the leaked Adidas jerseys now coming to light, such as the Italian one we may get some subtle markings on the body of the jersey. As many of you know I am a collector, whatever we get its the team that matter's, but I am hoping for something more interesting than our current one or the mockups shown on Foot Headlines from last year.

The Scotsman also saying he played twice before, against Elfsborg and Molde. The more matches the better.

The BBC website seems to have him at right back.
As does Google lineups. They are obviously desperate, let's see how this pans out.

I'm really hoping Scott McKenna gets some game time against Man City tomorrow......and plays well.
Scotland v Holland and Northern Ireland

I think the rationale with the stacked defenders is other than Hickey everyone is present and its a good window to trim atleast two if not three. Same with the four keepers, final rehearsal to see which three make it. I think we have a missed opportunity with a wild card striker.
