Realised he wasn't very good with proper players to train with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dark_Knight Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I would've taken this opportunity to call up George Johnston, Gilmour, Middleton, Hornby, McPake, Kennedy, King and Morrison. Steve Clarke has to think about building for the future, now. He can do that by assimilation some of our best kids with the seniors. Even if it's just traiing, it would be a good experience.

I thought Gilmour and Hornby might have had an outside chance as they are playing first team football now. Bit early for the others I think.

ErsatzThistle Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Calling up Gilmour and bringing him on as a sub against Kazakstan would give the fans a wee lift I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzohiggy Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Clarke has established premier league centre midfielders in Armstrong and fleck out the team so as much as I’d love to see Gillmour ASAP, must seem like a bit of an unnecessary call up at this point.

How is Armstrong "established"? He's in and out of an awful Southampton team, meanwhile, young Gilmour is making the bench of an exciting Chelsea team. Besides, it's at home to Kazakhstan, in a glorified friendly. If this isn't the chance to blood a youngster then when is?

I more meant them as being established Scotland players who play in the premier league. im a huge fan of gilmour, think he’ll be the best player produced in Scotland in decades. I’m just saying I can understand how it may be difficult to call him up just now with our strength in his position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually have Gilmour higher in the pecking order than Christie, Armstrong, McLean, etc. It's time for long term planning we need now. The sooner we begin introducing the kids, the better. I know that the u21s are struggling, with not scoring in three matches, but one are two are ready to step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he undoubtedly has a higher ceiling than all 3, he has much to prove at first team level before being considered above any of them. In time I’ve no doubt he will. I think Christie is an excellent player and will be a mainstay alongside Gilmour in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
