I just wonder if his future lies elsewhere because you can't imagine Tavernier going anywhere. Gerrard is on record as saying that he's not a reserve but part of the first team squad. Big clubs need 2 players for each position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceudmilefailte Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Callum Paterson scored again yesterday, wonder how many he would need to score to become worthy of a mention on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same age for me Patterson is a better player and prospect than Hutton was. Hutton wasn't in the same position Patterson is until 20/21 and it wasn't until he was around 22/23 that Hutton exploded and looked a great player. They do have very similar styles and outside of injuries I can see Patterson having a very good career and probably eclipsing Hutton's career. I feel bad for Hutton injuries and making the wrong move, a bit too early really curtailed his progress. I think in hindsight staying at Rangers to finish that European campaign, getting the experience of that and then leaving would have helped him longer term. He still had a great career but at that time he was soo highly rated and could've been our superstar. On young promising Scottish RBs Harrison Ashby at West Ham is very highly rated and looks very promising aswell. Hopefully both Patterson and Ashby kick in and we have 2 young Scottish RBs duking it out to be Scotland's first choice RB.

He’s someone who for me is starting quality for Scotland but it’s a very competitive position. Eventually, you’d hope, McTominay can move into midfield & you’d expect McTomiany & Gilmour to nail down two of the midfield starting berths. Jack will be in the mix though definitely. I think post Euro's you hope some younger CBs will kick on and step up, so Mctominay can be moved back into midfield. The problem is not many seem like they are ready or have the ability on the ball to replace what Mctominay gives us in defence. I think if Porteous could cut out the stupid stuff and tone down his aggression, then long term he could be that player. He is good on the ball and a decent passer. Gilmour should hopefully be in the Euro squad. As thankful as I am to Kenny McLean for the winning penalities, I would rather take a better younger player to the EURO's who long term could be our main man. It's kind of scary how good of a ball playing team we could have in 4/5 years if they continue to develop. Just need to find a keeper and central defender 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the Gilmour over McLean situation. Gilmour does need a run of games though and then his inclusion is more of a certainty. Kenny McLean is playing regularly now for a table topping side - he’s got covid 19 though confirmed today so will be out for a little while.

As long as McTominay is in defence he has no competition for his position. Gilmour is the left hand side option to McGregor, McLean and McGinn. I think every one would prefer McGinn further up the pitch. Ideal world we have Mctominay and Gilmour as our deep midfield players, but if you honestly think Jack is good enough to make us competitive against decent opposition you are deluded. He is little more than a good solid professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is little more than a good solid professional. Jack is the man in possession of the shirt, and one of the best players in our qualifying campaign. To dislodge him one of two things would have to happen. Either his form drops off a cliff or gilmour gets a regular game for Chelsea and excels consistently. If we assume that mctominay stays at centre half, jack is first pick in defensive midfield with mcgregor behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t agree on Porteous, a bit of a bomb scare for me, although maybe he’ll learn a bit of composure. Jamie Hamilton looks tremendous, however.

I don’t think Jack should start ahead of McGinn, we have a lot of good midfielders with McTominay, Gilmour, McGinn etc. At the moment McTominay plays at the back though. Jack is good enough to start but may not always start, based on how strong we are in that position. Callum McGregor shouldn’t be a nailed on starter though. No Celtic players should be now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Celtic players should be now McGinn might be playing deep for Villa but I'm not convinced about that at all, plus again he is more left sided. We seem to struggle on the right in just about every position, which is why am so big on Hanley at the moment, if he is good enough it frees up McTominay for the right hand role. Could Jack play on the left? Of course that depends on how quickly you want Gilmour in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said there will be plenty games next season for Patterson with the champions league added in for Rangers Tav really isn't that good a player, think he would get more than found out in the top league down there. Also no mention of superstar Ryan Fraser warming the bench again and gettin a wee 10 mins at the end. Newcastle losing yet again.

ceudmilefailte Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Liam Cooper playing on the right hand side of the Leeds defence tonight against Newcastle so perhaps he is an option to play there for us. He is probably as good a central defender as we have. Ryan Fraser also started but according to a certain stats web site so far he is the worst player on the park.

ProudScot Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Naismith was, wrongly I would say, being touted for a call up on here recently. He isn’t even a regular starter for Hearts in the championship at the moment though, on the bench again tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When does loyalty become stupidity is the question , he was pretty poor at turning up for long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
