AndyDD Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Seeing as we are getting the squad today, suppose a good time to take a final stab at it. Not many changes over the course of the month to be frank. Sadly Hickey didn't look quite ready yet in the games for Hearts and Griffiths is yet to kick a ball. If he does play on Sunday for Celtic then I'd definitely call him back in. Again, the last squad was 25, so that's the figure i'm going with rather than 23. Goalkeepers Marshall, Kelly, Mclaughlin. Defenders Mckenna, Cooper, Porteous, Mulgrew, Findlay, Tierney, Robbo, SOD, Palmer Midfielders Christie, Fleck, Jack, McGinn, Mcgregor, Mclean, McTominay, Armstrong Forwards Forrest, Fraser, Shankland, Burke, Phillips Almost made it- Shinnie, Hornby, Gilmour, Hickey, Ferguson, McRorie (some of the under 21s should be brought in for the second match, so Clarke can have a look at them in training and maybe even give them a cap off the bench, as has been mentioned a few times) I expect Oli McBurnie will be included, likely at the expense of Shankland or Burke, but i'd take either of those ahead of McBurnie based on Scotland performances. Seen more in the Second half in Moscow from Shankland than I did from Mcburnie at Hampden. He linked up better. Burke has different weapons than McBurnie does and scored against Cyprus at Hampden so edges it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, cheers, I was worried about that being the case given him getting stretchered off and then missing Pittodrie, but I never heard an official 'out for X time' so stuck him in ahead of Devlin. Shame, I rate Findlay. Be interesting if he and Mulgrew miss out, a couple of spaces open. Devlin presumably would get one. Maybe another midfielder or forward.

Findlay really needs to be fit for the weekend to have any sort of chance. He missed Fir Park and Pittodrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinello Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Prepared to accept if Paterson is overlooked this time that this will either be due to him not wanting to be selected or a a fall out with Clarke. Gallagher should I feel be included. More so if Mulgrew and Findlay miss out. Surely he is ahead of Devlin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paterson isn’t starting for Cardiff so I don’t think it would be that sinister if he missed out. Also Devlin is definitely ahead of Gallagher in Clarke’s plans due to the fact he started the last 2 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I know Clarke is going to Southampton vs Everton at weekend. Any other players other than Armstrong eligible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Does not sound like any shock inclusions, with press saying Kelly and McKenna the only real recalls. Interestingly, since last set of games everything has went quiet on Caulker (who has found himself on the bench in recent weeks, and talk of a January transfer to Bristol City) and Todd Kane getting the brunt for QPR's leaking goals of late (after press said he was a shoo-in for the next squad after talks with Clarke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting if any light is shed in the press conference RE Caulker, given that Clarke did speak about him previously. I'm not going to be greetin' if he isn't included.

The last Russia game in particular showed just how off the pace he is at international level. Unless there's behind the scenes benefits of having him there, I don't see why he should be included.

Looks like Naismith replacing Russell. I don't particularly rate either Russell or Phillips but they do give us something a bit different than Naismith who's a pretty standard centre forward (past his best). Elsewhere in the striker debate, I still struggle to see what McBurnie has done at any juncture whether domestically or internationally to warrant the call ups. I wouldn't be surprised if he's the first striking option always selected. It's going to take some serious bottle to leave out someone playing (off the bench) in the Premier League who cost £20m, but let's be frank the consensus is that he's absolutely woeful.

Leaving him out last time made sense but he's a few games for Arsenal under his belt now. I accept he's not 100% yet but he's surely still a better option than O'Donnell or Palmer.
