This Covid breach is potentially a very costly mistake for Patterson, because if he hadn't done that, he would be in Rangers first team for the foreseeable while Taverner is injured. If he played well he would have been well in Clarke's thoughts as he is perfect for the wingback role and we only have O'Donnell or Palmer there for now, Patterson already looks as good if not better than them at 19. If Patterson had got in the Rangers team and played well he might have got a chance, but no way will the SFA call a player in with a Covid breach hanging over him

Will probably depend on whether the SPFL throw the book at him

To be fair all he has to to at right wing back is run in straight lines and track back. Might struggle with the tracking back though to be honest!

Could be our Didier Agathe

Slight Gilmour positional change by Tuchel, first time they get him on the ball in that position... Goal

Chelsea defenders passing by him more like, right over his head! They keep slinging it long to beat Barnsley's press but all of Chelsea's best moments have started through him when they have actually played it through midfield.

Are you taking the piss pal

Agreed, it's f pathetic. They play for and hare paid by Sheffield United, respect that, respect the captain and the ways of the club instead of acting like childish idiots

That is a damning stat. Foden has always been getting dipped in and out of the team until this season where he is now a regular. Gilmour hasn't had that and isn't even in squads now. He should be playing 1st team football every week, he's too good for U23s pretty disgraceful how Chelsea are handling him at the moment.

Worst possible timing Lampard getting sacked when he did because Gilmour was a 100 percent guaranteed starter in the next game for Lampard v Wolves. If Gilmour had played that game, and played the way he usually does when given an opportunity, I think he would have nailed that spot. Sometimes it's all about timing and you need a bit of luck and unfortunately Lampards sacking came at the worst possible time for him. Tuchel comes in throws experienced guys in and now he has to start trying to impress all over again, which has probably set him back months of first team football.

Every time this boy is let of the leash he is outstanding! Has to be used box to box for us he is absolutely brilliant when he plays that position. He shouldn't be shackled in defence or in a holding role for United or for Scotland he is far better than that! He can do it all in Midfield, great passer, wins tackles, covers every blade if grass, gets forward, scores goals, the boy can do it all! He's our Stevie Gerrard!

He's only Scotland's most expensive player ever because no one can afford Scott McTominay

I have wondered about him at right wing back before, has the engine to get up and down but he's a player you really want in the final third as much as possible. His best position is clearly coming in from right Midfield in a 4 but that would require a change to a 4-4-2 which creates other conundrums!

Stuart Armstrong, brilliant for Southampton again tonight, how do we fit him into our side?

His heart may well be in representing both countries so he chooses who asks first

I don't think it can be understated though how much some playersgenuinely feel tied to two countries so it may well be first come first served

Would like to see Armstrong at right wing back

This is spot on, can never understand why some players continually get picked at that sort of age range, where they are perhaps coming to the end of their time at 21 level and have stagnated a bit at club level, but still seem to get picked for their 'experience' at 21 level. If you look through all the countries or clubs throughout Europe, they continually play their best young players with the most potential a level up. And let's be honest the step up from 19s to 21s for the best players isn't a great jump which is what the likes of Gilmour and Patterson have proved. I have followed Scott Banks for a while and there is no doubt he is at least as good as some of the players that have been mentioned like Middleton and MacLennan but he is younger with more potential so disappointed if we lose him now. On a side note the Welsh fans have noted that because we do have a bigger pool of players in Scotland it does give them a chance at times to nip in ahead and offer say a 19s player under 21 football whereas in our set up he would have to wait a while longer before making that step up.

I hope it does get shut down, it's a disgrace the lower leagues have been shut down but yet the spl continues. It's far more important to the country on a sporting level and a financial level to have the euros in this country that continue running some two bob league

They should really call all the league's the now and shut everything down properly until end of March then see how the land lies with vaccinations and infection rates etc and make a decision then. Getting the euros on is far more important to everyone in this country rather than some pathetic Scottish football season

My mate just got a video message from Steve Clarke on his birthday dont know how or who done it for him though try contacting SFA

Point of this is? Why the hate for Ryan Fraser?

Harper and Dembele can still play for Scotland

That's great he seems passionate about Scotland but that just reminded me about another player, Scott Banks of Crystal Palace, great talent, apparently considering switching to Wales?

My point was the government need the money the Euros will generate
