What are the scouts etc doing? McLeish doesn't believe scouts.. he has to get free tickets to games to see everyone. ;o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His forms been good tho and if the next squad has just Paterson called up for the right back spot, then aye, something is amiss. He's been outstanding the majority of the season. Radio Scotland etc were touting him for the last squad, so it wasn't just me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davew Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 22 hours ago, Caledonian Craig said: I agree he should definitely be looked at given the right-back problems we have. The only reason I see he is not being called up is the club he plays for. I have no problem with us having at look at him, but it's not the club he plays for that's working against him, so much as the fact that he couldn't hold down his place in an English 4th tier team last season.

Obviously his form has improved or he wouldn't be getting player of the month awards, I'm just saying it normally takes a 25 year old a bit more than a few months of good form to force his way into the Scotland squad.

How, in any way, is that relevant? David Healey of Northern Ireland couldn't cement a place in a top flight side yet is their record scorer and scored more international goals than any Scot did for Scotland to boot.

My point is that just because a player does not make it at the very top level of club football which Healy never really did it does not mean you discard them from international football. As we know the opposite can happen too. We have had many players play at the biggest clubs in the EPL who have been flops for Scotland and had players never to crack the EPL who have done well for is - better than some EPL stars.
