At least he'll get a winner's medal. (If Chelsea win) Edited May 15, 2021 by Taylor1996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Gilmour on the bench. He’s started 3 EPL games in a row though so it’s a different story for him this summer now in comparison to weeks ago. Be stunned if he didn’t make the 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 To be expected. Some big names and expensive signings on the bench as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reaction is great to see and he's potentially such an exciting player to have in the squad and hopefully earning 50-100 caos in coming years.

He could’ve named more then cut it down to 26 by 1st of June but he just went straight to his final 26 man squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sign of intent having him included. Clarke knows what he's got. Possibly the next Darren Fletcher, in terms of caps and influence on the team. He'll be an ever present for the next 13+ years. I just wonder if Clarke will be brave enough to play him at the Euros. Even if he doesn't, it's still great to integrate him into the set up. Same goes for Patterson and Turnbull, who will also amass 50+ caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by his reaction when he saw his name appearing on the tv screen,i don't think so.The look on his face wasn't the look of somebody who already knew he was going.If he did already know,he should be up for an oscar next time round.

It might not have been 100% confirmed but he’d have more or less known. Players don’t generally find out they are in the Scotland squad from Sky Sports News.

Not so sure about that.I remember one of the players picked for the british and irish lions tour saying he was flabbergasted when he heard on the radio he had been picked.Don't see why football would be any different.No,i really think it was an honest reaction by Billy Gilmour.Good to see.

Clubs are contacted prior to players being selected. Clarke generally also speaks to players before selecting them. Or at least he has done in the past. What if half the squad had went on holiday after the Scottish Premiership ended? Put it this way - that would not have been my reaction if I found out I was going to the Euros like that. I’d be jumping up and down and shouting and screaming like an idiot. Looks more like a wee smile at it being officially confirmed on telly to me. The surprise on his face is probably more to do with him seeing he was being filmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
