Mind when Eamon Brophy was called up 🤣 That's a stupid post that forgets the circumstances at the time. All the other strikers except Brophy and Burke were injured and Steven Fletcher had just chucked international football. Brophy had just had a respectable season at Killie. It made sense to call him up at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Brophy was quickly jettisoned from the Scotland setup. That’s hardly proof Clarke is unfairly prioritising “his Killie mates” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syecosse Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Rangers start Mclaughlin,Patterson and Wright. Leonard Brighton on the bench with Fulton starting for Swansea, Mebude and Pressley on the bench V Arsenal, and cannot remember if Steer was eligible( sure I heard somewhere he was) but starting his second match of the season for Villa.

Taylor has now played over 60 games for Celtic. Also, Brophy was quickly jettisoned from the Scotland setup. That’s hardly proof Clarke is unfairly prioritising “his Killie mates” Doesn't matter how many games he's played for Celtic, he is an extremely average (at best) footballer. Broadfoot (back in the day) at Rangers being a similar example of a average/poor footballer but playing a lot of games. Taylor is there because Clarke trusts him and likes 11 Vs. 11 games in training and Tierney is LCB in the games. So Clarke needs a 3rd LB. I would personally use that LB slot to give a young promising LB squad and training time. Get a young lad in to acclimatise themselves early with the squad and train against better players. It helped McGinn and Robertson when we done it. Who's to say it wouldn't give Hickey or Doig a massive boost in their development. It is certainly better longterm than giving a soso LB in his mid 20s squad time. Edited September 22, 2021 by Blantyre_Braveheart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Celtic went 3-0 up it's become more like a training exercise. How Starfeldt keeps Welsh out of the side I don't know, he's so clumsy with the ball.

McGregor will be straight back in the team when he's fit, as will Forrest. Plus, Taylor and Welsh will see plenty of game time over the season. At present, it's just Turnbull, Forrest, and McGregor that are worthy of the Scotland squad anyway, but I'm eager to see how Ralston and Montgomery develop this year.

Haven't Abada and Kyogo outwide been flavoured over Forrest and they now have Jota. I'm not sure Forrest will be first choice under Ange. Maybe if he can get fully fit but it seems like Forrest will be a very long way from that for a while. I think Ralston will get a lot of gametime, as I can see them playing the Croatian at LB as despite being a RB, he seems the best player they have for LB, especially with Taylor's injury.

I think now that Edouard is gone, Kyogo will be used through the middle. But, you're right, Forrest might not be a guaranteed starter anymore. And, to be honest, I'm not overly fussed. He's had some good performances for Scotland, but I think he's peaked. I hope I'm wrong, and he still turns out to be a good player for us, but I wonder if he's one of the ones that will be getting phased out over the next year or two with Scotland.
