Jason Leitch said today that Christie and Tierney cant be exempt from test and trace just because they are footballers. So this is a big worry.

So this is a big worry. Not sure how it works. The Southampton and West Brom players don’t need to self isolate and Armstrong played in that game on Sunday which was 2 days before he tested positive I’m sure.

Super_Scotlandfan Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 No idea why we haven’t called up an attacking midfielder or winger. This would be an ideal time to call up Siriki Dembele. Much better player than the level he’s at in English League 1. Missing Forrest, Christie, Armstrong, Burke, Russell, Morgan and Mikey Johnston. Only attacking midfielders/winger left are McGinn (who just played 120 mins) and Fraser (has barely played recently). Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also Logan Chalmers and Connor McLennan who are with the U21s at present and who can play out wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what players get paid in league one but you would think the SPL could compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauld has been playing right wing in Portugal’s top league. Would be well worth a call up too. Turnbull for Armstrong would have also been good.

Clarke said a few months ago that he was getting regular reports on how Gauld was getting. So he's definitely in the picture. There COVID rules might not allow us to bring over a player from a badly affected country though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah much easier to call up British based players at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind if they feel their allegiance is elsewhere that's their choice. But I would want to think they've been approached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the case but it shows you how daft the rules are. If one of our players had been fouled by Bitton and he had touched our players face or some sweat had transferred onto his face or something that’s ok? While Tierney and Christie maintain they were socially distant from Armstrong at all times but they need to self isolate? Utter madness.
