    At this point we all know that Clarke loves the tried and tested. That’s for good reason tbf, but I can see 1 or 2 wildcards due to the squad extending to 26 and I would like to see Danny Armstrong from Killie called up. If Hickey does not make it I could see him starting RWB.

    Speaking as a Killie fan I don't think Armstrong is good enough defensively to play that role at international level. Would be delighted to see him called up though, and he might offer something different in the final third. His assist numbers this season speak for themselves.

    Wasn't it Beckham with metatarsal.

    How could you forget!?  😂

    😄

    We're both right, Beckham did his in 2002, Rooney in 2006.

    I've asked this before, but how come England never seem to get serious injuries? Their top players like Palmer, Kane and Foden play for clubs that play a huge number of games right at the pressure end. Are they better trained or what? 

    How could you forget Rooney's metatarsal?  Front page news for about a month. Or Rio's knee. Going further back, Bryan Robson's head falling off on Spitting Image.

    We have proven on our day we can win against top notch  sides in the last two years or so. For evidence of that look to our wins against Spain, Denmark and Ukraine. However, that was with us with a full strength side and everyone on form. 

    Getting a big result at a finals tournament when the opposition are fully focused has always been more difficult for us though. Hopefully this time we can do it for once.

      we cannot afford not to get out of the group stages, I believe we possibly hold a record in that respect. 

    Correct. We are the only country to have played at three Euros and not got out of our group once.

    (We are also the only country to have played at eight World Cups and never got further than the first round).

    Replacement for me would be Ryan Fraser.

    Even if the squad size stays at 23, I think Ferguson being out has nailed Fraser's place.

    Has anything really changed though?

     

    Yeaterday, if rangers win all their games, they’ll win the league. 
     

    Today, if Rangers win all their games, they’ll win the league. 

    True, but they can't afford to draw at Parkhead now.

    Well played County, a historic win.
