I take the point made earlier that there is nobody there saying to these players, "you'll be in the next squad so keep your fitness up." By the way I am not a big fan of Ryan Jack but he actually played better at right back against Holland than O'Donnell and Palmer have in any game since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt, but we’re scrapping the barrel somewhat. I’ve gone right off O’Donnell, Palmer was abysmal, and Paterson is injured.

We’ll have no decent right backs or left backs for the June games at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csinclair Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I'm assuming Tierney & Christie are out. I'd also go with a larger pool of players like other nations do, just in case we do get any call offs. Mulgrew would have probably made it in too but hasn't really played since coming back from injury Bain, Clark, Kelly O'Donnell, Palmer, Robertson, Taylor, Bates, Berra, McKenna, Findlay, Souttar McTominay, McLean, McGregor, McGinn, Armstrong, Fleck, Turnbull, McCrorie Forrest, Fraser, Burke, Fletcher, McBurnie, Phillips, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s hardly kicked a ball for Celtic since Lennon took over. Ross McCrorie also isn’t starting for Rangers. I would also have Johnny Russell in ahead of Phillips. He hasn’t done much wrong and is still scoring and creating for KC. I haven’t seen much of Phillips recently in fairness but he has never seemed that interested in playing for us to me.

I am dead against taking along 29 year olds just to make up the numbers so would sooner Burke or the more experienced ,and slightly younger Phillips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Ralston on the bench, still think if Rodgers saw something in him there might be something there, don't forget he is only 20.

It’s a self belief thing, if anything.Arfield on the other hand was immense. Quite how we passed on him I’ll never know.

Mainly due to the stubbornness of Strachan and his refusal to pick him over his favourites. Ok so Levein could have capped him but he was playing in League one for Huddersfield so I can understand why he wasn’t capped then. I think he struggled to get a game when Huddersfield were promoted as well. As soon as he started doing well for Burnley he should have been capped by Strachan.

bazmidd Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 There is something there with Burke but he doesn't seem to have the character or the self belief or more importantly at this moment and time the trust and backing of his manager. Lennon made his mind up about him after his miss v Livingston. Today seems like his last chance in Lennons eyes and if Lennon gets the job I don't think Burke will be at Celtic next year. This though would probably be a good thing as far as Burke is concerned. Rodgers leaving has turned out to be the worst thing that happened to him and he needs to find another coach/manager that believes in him like Rodgers did and in turn give him his own self belief back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he isn't being serious about Boyd, probably not about McNulty either, Brophy though is harder to call This board is getting very murky when it comes to the seriousness of some posts. Then again maybe he is serious as I said it is hard to call these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because George Boyd was better than him or maybe he just didn't know were Burnley was and never saw either of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
