Super_Scotlandfan Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Reckon the presenter is speaking shite though. Probably doesn’t understand that residency rules don’t come in to play for home nations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Declan Rice was born in England, and played for RoI as one of his grandparents were born there, so its completely unrelated to Gilmour, who is 100% Scottish. England could of course call him up, just as we could call any English player up, but it would create the unholiest of football wars.

Interesting that there are no quotes or sources for the information (other than The Athletic). Why on earth would Steve Clarke go to a match to specifically watch Gilmour but not select him after watching him play fantastically? What would he need to do to get a call up? Score 10 goals? I smell shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Adam also seems unaware that he should definitely start. It says he will be named in the U21 squad whilst Clarke decides if he’ll call him up to the senior squad or not. It doesn’t state he will be with the under 21s. Charlie Adam is one of the worst players I’ve ever seen in a Scotland shirt and his opinion on Gilmour counts for the sum total of fuck all.

ceudmilefailte Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Maybe he's trying to convince the rest of the squad they are better than the Chelsea one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be bloody baffling. Picture it - we are 1-1 against Israel with 15 minutes to go and on the bench we have Graham Shinnie or McLean to bring on when it could have been Billy Gilmour.

Being named in the U21 squad doesn’t mean he won’t be in the full squad. It literally said that in the article you posted a link to. It would just mean Clarke hasn’t decided yet.

I think it’s quite obvious if he’s named in the under 21’s Clarke will come out with the Important games in that age group he can’t miss usual generic crap and that will be that.

If Clarke genuinely hasn’t decided yet (maybe he wants to watch him again at the weekend?) then it makes sense to name him in that U21 squad. What are they meant to do? Call him up as a late replacement to the U21 squad if Clarke doesn’t pick him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccaughey85 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Everybodies getting their knickers in a twist, Clarke will likely pick him and he will be pulled out of the u21 squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pity Malky MacKay is talking pish at the end of the article. Not a Malky Mackay fan but I didn't see anything unreasonable in his comments. Gilmour has been superb in the last two games but we are indeed very strong in midfield. It's potentially two huge games to put him into when he's yet to make his international debut. Not as obvious a choice as some are implying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
