Tartan blood Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 2 hours ago, Taylor1996 said: Interesting. Then I'd say that the chances of an outsider making their way into the squad is pretty slim.. barring a spate on injuries. It's a pity Scott Wright didn't move sooner as he might've been a wildcard. The situation with Scott Wright sums up the general standard of Scottish coaching, outside the Old Firm. He's pretty much said that he's developed more in 2 months at Rangers (Mentally and physically) than he had at Aberdeen for 7 years. If that's the case then Ryan Fraser leaving Aberdeen at 18 is vindicated. However, Christie spending a couple of years at Aberdeen done him no harm (that we know of). I don't even think Wright would be in the same bracket as the Outsiders. He'd be a back to the backups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright spent a large portion of his time on the treatment table at Aberdeen so if be has said what is being alleged then he's being very disrespectful to the club who developed him and stood by him during his Injuries. For every Wright there's a mckenna who did well and earned a move Aberdeens youth system isn't perfect right now and mcinnes had no real interest in promoting Scottish youngsters. He would rather promote some no mark from Leeds instead, its part of the reason he was let go. The jury is still very much out on Wright too, he's had a handful of appearances at rangers and that's it. If he has a successful career and gets a call up then fair play to him Taylor claims to know nothing about the SPFL but says plenty about it.

Yeah. I'd actually say that Christie as well as James Maddison improved at Aberdeen, but I think that was more to do with the individuals rather than the coaching staff at Aberdeen or McInness. I always make Paul Lambert an example. I remember him at Motherwell. Decent player. More of an attacking midfielder. He left for Germany. Everyone in Scotland laughed. Overnight he turns into a world class anchorman with a European Cup winner's medal in one pocket and Zinedine Zidane is in the other. Not really sure if the players are to blame, though. More recently there was Angelo Alessioat Kilmarnock. They gave him a massive 22 matches. He was fifth when he got fired... thanks to a player revolt, something about his coaching methods they didn't like. Yeah. Good enough for Pogba, Pirlo, Marchisio, Vidal, Immobile, etc, but not good enough for Kirk Broadfoot, Scott Boyd, Alan Power, Rory McKenzie, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHFC Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 So Adams, Dykes, Griffiths, Nisbet and Shankland as our forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see him taking 5 forwards for 1 position. Adams and Dykes are stick ons. If its an expanded squad I can see him taking 2 more. If not I think he would prefer to just take 3 and worst case scenario play somebody like Christie up top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loanhead-tartan Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 As much as I’ve gave mcburnie stick in the past and still think he’s rank rotten that’s a total sickner for him , for any player to miss out on a tournament through injury. I think that could be the last we see of mcburnie in a Scotland shirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you know what I'm thinking 🤪 Yes, it does relieve Steve Clarke of a problem, bearing in mind he's been loyal to McB. Won't be more than 3 number nines, to whit Dykes, Adams and Nisbet. Griffiths would have to play regularly and score heavily to have any chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 If we take 3 or 4 strikers, same as we did this squad it does free up a spot for Turnbull or Gauld IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put Wright even further down the pecking order than Patterson, who is probably about 7th in line for an outside chance of an unexpected call up. We have so many options all over the pitch that I don't think there is anything Wright could do to get called up for the Euros. To be honest, I'd be astounded if there were any new call ups for the Euros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Confirmed Ryan Jack out for the rest of the season and the Euros.

kumnio Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Gordon - Marshall - McLaughlin O’Donnell - Palmer Hendry - McTominay - Hanley - Cooper - McKenna - Gallagher - Tierney Robertson McGregor - McGinn - Armstrong - Fleck - McLean - Christie - Turnbull Fraser - Forrest Adams - Dykes - Burke I’d guess that will be out 25 man squad. I’d leave Palmer, Fleck and Burke out, but Clarke likes them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it also probably means McGregor will get played in the anchorman role, which I am firmly against. I'd call up Gilmour as well, but I just can't see it happening.
