mccaughey85 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I think its becoming pretty clear that ross stewart can become our version of ivan toney or jamie vardy. Its just a matter of time before hes in the epl and hes probably going to be a starter for scotland if he continues this form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you might get the odd prodigy that is ready at 18, but that isn't normal. We've had loads of great internationalists over the years that didn't establish themselves until much later in their career. Hartley, Robson and Pressley spring to mind. Mulgrew was in his mid 20s before he became a regular as well. So I don't think we need to worry that he is a bit older. If Stewart keeps this up then I think that 3rd striker slot will be his for the foreseeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't take this the wrong way but you know when we are scraping the bottom of the barrel labelling Hartley, Robson, Pressley and Mulgrew as great internationalists. I'd put them in a category but not one labelled as great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great internationalists 😂😂 Maybe I should have just said "internationalists" and removed the word great... 😅 They all had decent purple patches for Scotland though. Definitely did a job for a period of time. Mulgrew especially should have more caps than he did, and actually played really well in midfield under Strachan.

mccaughey85 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 2 goals already for shankland today. Fair enough alot are from pens but if he was to get 30 or more goals this season for a non old firm team then thats impressive. He would deserve another chance in the squad imo.

He's looked more vocal and animated than anytime Scotland have been losing a game tbh.

Hope it's nothing serious, he does seem to get more than his fair share. I suspect he may have a new manager soon as I can't see Lampard lasting long.

He would sit on the bench if he’s lucky. Complete waste if he goes there, a decent player essentially out the game and one of our best of the rest clubs significantly weakened for league/Europe. Pointless move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
