I don't get Gordon. We have a dearth of quality right backs, why not at least giving it a try with Robbo and Tierney on different flanks, 45 minutes against Canada - can't do any harm and if it doesn't work at least he will have given it a go. As it is likely to be Anya or Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is likely to be Anya or Martin. Tierney in the paper today saying he's open to playing right back. He went on to say he'll now need to start practising on his right foot. I find it staggering he doesn't spend at least half an hour a day doing that. When wingers close off the space outside a full back they can be forced to clear it on their weak foot. This inevitably leads to sclaffed daisy cutters straight to the opposition. Rangers got pumped out the Champions league twice by David Robertson and once Arthur Numan because of nae right foot. Thought that my cheer some of you up. I'm surprised at Tierney though, poor show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munro7 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Spot on. There is absolutely no excuse for a full time professional footballer being unable to use both feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierney has the chance of goinng from very good to great. It's criminal not to be working on his weaker foot instead of no doubt sitting about in Nando's. Full back and wing are the two positions where a weak foot really lets a player down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also Considine at Aberdeen but hes used more as a make shift left back nowadays but he still plays the odd game at CB. There's not a chance n hell any of these players would get the call from strachan. Thats a dig at strachan, not these players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudScot Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Phil Bardsley and Danny Wilson would have been worth a call up. I guess it would be silly not to just start Cooper v Canada now and see what he can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisEDI Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 its interesting that Bardsley hasn't questioned why he isnt being called up as charlie adam has been in the press, adam you would have thought might have mentioned him as well when discussing this if he thought it could be feasible for him to be getting a call up as well. i don't think anyone can dispute now that he isnt getting called up for "football" reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looked good the last couple of games including the old firm. He plays for a team with a defensive record equal to that of Partick and has had time out of the side this season due to poor form (he's only started 3 games this year) and has only been part of 3 clean sheets in the league all season. You've just referenced him because he plays for Rangers. No way is he more deserving of a call up than Liam Lindsay or Steven Anderson. However, seen as you don;t watch Scottish football, it's pretty predictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
