With the World Cup just five months away it is concerning that three midfielders always in contention for a starting spot are long term injured. Ben Gannon-Doak and Billy Gilmour have gone under the surgeon's knife and Ryan Christie is also missing games. That is a concern. Christie I feel will be back soon perhaps followed by Gilmour maybe around late Feb early March but Gannon-Doak could be touch and go for the World Cup. Fingers crossed for them all.
The reasons for hope (maybe straw clutching in some cases) is that Lennon Miller seems to be getting a bit of fame time now for Udinese (started tonight away to Torino). Connor Barron seems to be impressing for an improving Rangers side. Josh Mulligan at Hibs is being spoken highly of with EPL clubs interested and is being tipped for a full call-up. Another you could throw in there is a highly controversial one on the TAMB is Harvey Barnes being mentioned for a call-up.
At present our midfield has had a very settled look to it over the last year but fate could force changes. What are your thoughts?
