Callum McGregor should be in there.

Would be nice to have a right back at a decent level so would be good to see Bardsley back till a young right back comes through.

I'd be worried if that was the team.

                              Gordon

Tierney......Hanley.......Mulgrew......Robertson

    Armstrong.....McGinn......McGregor

Forrest                                                 Fraser

Woukdnt be too averse to that team but I would def have McGregor in goals, and would have Forrest on the bench, maybe with Patterson ahead of him.

Can’t see Bardsley getting a recall and Snodgrass seems unlikely. 

Will be interesting to see what McLeish does with Tierney and Robertson. Surely if anyone is at left back it will be Robertson and Tierney will be deployed elsewhere? Not saying that’s what I would do but I reckon that’s what McLeish will decide.

First time I've watched Souttar in the flesh today at East End Park and as you would hope from someone being touted for Scotland he absolutely strolled it apart from one yellow card where one of his team mates put him in trouble. I was impressed especially being against the mighty Pars, swap especially for albeit lol. He does look good though and would be happy to see him tried against Belgium to see how he does. He looked better than Hendry did v Particles anyway especially at bringing the ball forward. So my team against Belgium would be...

 

                            Gordon

         Souttar.      Mulgrew.      Tierney

Fraser.                                         Robertson

                          McCarthur

     Armstrong.   McGregor.   McGinn

                            Griffiths

Cant believe McTominey is not getting a mention here. He is 6' 4 and very calm on the ball.

I hope they go 4-2-3-1 with 

                  mcgregor

Paterson   Souttar  Mulgrew (now berra is out) Tierney

                             McTominey  Macgregor

Fraser                Armstrong                Robertson

                                   Griffiths

 

But i can see 3-5-1-1

Mcgregor

Souttar Mulgrew Tierney

fraser  McGinn McTominey Macgregor  Robertson

Armstrong

Phillips

I can’t believe you don’t know how to spell McTominay. 🤣

Most people are probably not considering him because he’s not starting for Man United at the moment. 

I agree he could definitely do a job for us if we are short of options but I would prefer to have a team full of players who are starting regularly for their clubs.

I'd go for 

                                        McGregor

                     Hanley       Mulgrew     Tierney

Fraser         McGinn      McArthur    Cairney     Robertson

                             Phillips

                                             Griffiths

                         McGregor

Jack         Souttar     Mulgrew     Tierney 

                         

Forrest      McGinn    McArthur   Robertson

                     Armstrong/McGregor 

                             Griffiths

 

i know am gonna get pelted for putting Jack in at RB, but he was a standout there for the U21s, impressed against the Dutch for the full squad, plus he has started the season well with Rangers. And let’s face it, are options there are extremely limited. 

Maybe play Tierney at CB alongside Mulgrew, Robertson at LB and bring McGregor to the left.

Still believe Forrest is the best winger we’ve got and works back the way also.

Would be my pick.

I suspect Hanley will get nod before Souttar, but could also see Tierney being moved into the middle so Robertson can play in defense also.

I would be really shocked if Bardsley came in completely from out the cold so sudden. Callum Paterson you would suspect would be favorite for that position at the moment, with SOD a possibility as back up.

Midfield is a nice conundrum to have, as you could probably pick 2 separate line up's and still have some quality unable to get into the team, so this could be anything.

Up front I would start Griffiths, but I suspect Matt Phillips early form might see him sneak into Ecks starting line up.

You could have a team of 11 zidanes and still get pelted on here. This is why topics of team and squad selection a perfect stage to rant and get the frustration of our national team off our chests.

Have you seen Forrest play for Scotland? He struggles as a winger  and he can’t defend to save his life, that’s not the case when he plays for Celtic but he’s not the same player when with Scotland

Not sure he would give a first cap to Souttar in such an important game leaving the other centre half position to Hanley or Tierney, personally I would play the latter at right back so Mulgrew and Hanley with Robertson and Tierney as full backs and McGregor in goals would be my defence, Fraser, McTominay McGinn McGregor and Phillips  in Midfield with Griffiths up front,   depending on game time and form Russell is an option

Forrest has never really performed for Scotland for some reason. He’s had a couple of decent games from memory but that’s about it.

I’m hoping that a new manager and maybe a change of playing style will make a difference and maybe he’ll become a better player for us. 

I used to think the same thing about Shaun Maloney but he turned into a decent player for Scotland. Forrest is only 26/27 I think so there’s still time for him yet.

I don’t think he’s been as bad as people make out. Statistically could be a lot better when it comes to goals and assists obviously, but I think the team functions better with him in the starting XI. The defensive side of his game has improved considerably the last couple i seasons.
