Just 1 quality striker would be excellent. England have about 15 or more surely logic would mean we produce 1 or 2. "Och, it's genetics!"

todd Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 2 hours ago, Caledonian Craig said: Agreed but even they weren't prolific as far as international standards go. McCoist (19). Archibald (4), McAvennie (1), McInally (3), Nicholas (5), Johnston (14) and McClair (2). And that just shows how far behind we have been for so long in unearthing true international class strikers. Was about to post the same stats before you did. Jesus we really are a terrible nation for being blinded by nostalgia, quoting fashionable names that ultimately weren't actually that good for Scotland.

Tbf it wasn't nostalgia regarding Scotland and I wasn't actually old enough to watch the guys I listed. I was just stating that on paper we had talented strikers but you are right in saying that they weren't particulary good for Scotland barring maybe mccoist who scored 1 in 3 which is decent.

SkyBlueScot Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Reece McAleer came on for Norwich today. 92nd minute. Dickson-Peters on the bench as well. They've got plenty of young Scots there. Also Mair, Fitzpatrick and Gilmour(?). Didn't Turnbull nearly go there? Wish he had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurice Johnston was a fantastic striker with an average of better than 1 in 3. Of all these players listed, Johnston was by far the best.

Blantyre_Braveheart Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 McLaughlin starts for Rangers 16 year old Leon King on the bench, along with Ciaran Dickson and Glen Middleton.

He is our back up RB. He'd have started at Falkirk, like he did against Stranraer last season. There isn't a break until mid march from now, Tav will need rested here and there. Patterson will get minutes in that period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blantyre_Braveheart Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Dickson and Middleton on with 35 to play. Dickson has looked neat and tidy at cm, only 18. Middleton is playing at LB. Hopefully King gets on soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put in a wonderful cross for Jermaine Defoe. It was 18 year old Ciaran Dickson that really caught my eye though. He's not one that's always talked about compared to Kennedy, Kelly, Patterson, etc but Dickson has absolutely wonderful technique on the ball, looked very calm in possession and wasn't afraid to get stuck in out of it. I can see him going out on loan in January to the championship for some first team football. Definitely one to keep your eye on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
