Taylor1996 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 The Scotland starting XI is: Marshall; Jack, McKenna, Tierney, Robertson; Forrest, McTominay, McGregor, Christie; McGinn; Dykes. SUBS: McLaughlin, McCrorie, Paterson, Fleck, Gallagher, Cooper, Burke, Armstrong, McLean, O’Donnell, Palmer, Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Will be interested to see the formation there! 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde1998 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Interesting that Tierney is preferred at centre-back than Cooper or Gallagher (I thought he'd be in at right-back) and Jack at right-back over O'Donnell and Palmer. Although does give a clear indication of how poor we are defensively that we're playing two players out of position in our back four.

Taylor1996 Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 I'm guessing it'll be 4-4-1-1 Marshall; Jack, McKenna, Tierney, Robertson; Forrest, McTominay, McGregor, Christie; McGinn; Dykes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly. Or could McTominay be CB and Jack midfield, Tierney RB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I'd say they will line up something like this:- ......................................................................Marshall....................................................................................... ...........................Scott McTominay........Scott McKenna............Kieran Tierney............................................. Ryan Jack.........................................................................................................................Andrew Robertson ........James Forrest..................................Callum McGregor................................Ryan Christie..................... ....................................................................John McGinn................................................................................ ...................................................................Lyndon Dykes...............................................................................

BraveheartGordon Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I thought this line up before the starting 11 was announced. Marshall Tierney McTominay McKenna Robertson Jack McGregor Forrest McGinn Christie Dykes if you’re purely reading off the numbers then it’s something like Marshall McTominay McKenna Tierney Robertson Jack McGregor Forrest McGinn Christie Dykes or potentially Jack sitting behind McGregor and McGinn for more of a 4-3-3 shape. I’m very intrigued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not often I agree with you, but you've called this one. Thank fuck Tierney is nowhere near right back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor1996 Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) According to the Daily Record it's the obligatory 4-2-3-1 If they're right: Marshall; Jack, McKenna, Tierney, Robertson; McTominay, McGregor Forrest, , McGinn; Christie Dykes.

ErsatzThistle Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 That back three is a huge gamble by Clarke. I hope it pays off. He's going to look daft if it fails though. I do have a feeling that McGinn and Dykes could work well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Mctominay. McKenna. Tierney forrsest. Jack. Mcgregor. Robertson Mcginn. Christie Dykes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loanhead-tartan Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 352 with mctominay in the back 3 or 4411 with jack at RB . Can’t see many other options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde1998 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Could it possibly be: Marshall Jack, McTominay, McKenna, Tierney Forrest, McGregor, Christie, Robertson McGinn Dykes Don't know if they've got a right winger we need to contain with two defensive players on the left side?

Hercules Rockefeller Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I would reckon this will be the formation based on McTominay being number 2 and Jack and McGregor complementing each other well in the Kazakhstan game last November: Marshall Tierney McTominay McKenna Robertson Jack McGregor Christie McGinn Forrest Dykes Would be surprised if Jack is at right-back - surely Clark would play Palmer instead if that was the case.

SkyBlueScot Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Some time back it was said that Jack was playing right back in training but he pulled out injured. May be seeing the fruit of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor1996 Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Sky have confirmed it's three at the back: McTominay, McKenna and Tierney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
