ProudScot Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Robbie Ure 3 goals and 1 assist in his first 4 games for Anderlecht B team. Play in the Belgian 1st division, 1 league down from their top flight so a good level to get some experience. Goal is on Scotsabroad pod, cracking round the goalie finish. Surely see him in the next under 21 squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 5 hours ago, Caledonian Craig said: An option for both to play would be to perhaps start with a midfield of maybe McTominay, Gilmour, McGinn and Ferguson. Would you not have to play a back four to accommodate that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember 3-4 years ago there was desperation at CF and so people were pining their hopes on him due to scoring loads for Everton under 20s. Then he moved to Belgium and I think France and heard little since. Also reminds me of that guy at Malaga who was also a forward, Jack something? Those guys were the hopes of the late 2010s along with Ollie Burke for the forward positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has started first few games but been injured and on bench since. Dont think he is good enough for Scotland senior squad  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 3 hours ago, ProudScot said: Hickey out is a huge blow. Thank god we’ve qualified indeed. Always liked Ralston, he will be a fine backup to Patterson. Aslong as nothing mental like O’Donnell being called up happens! The wild card option would be Livramento. Do you want to be playing for England u21 or do you actually want to commit to Scotland and play in the Euros? Maybe he doesn't want to, that's his choice but with Patterson now seemingly 3rd choice at Everton he's probably the RB who's eligible for us who's playing at the highest level. Tierney's always going to be injury prone, Robbo according to Liverpool fans is not the player of a few years back so Hickey might be our regular left back in a few years time. It makes sense to ask the question of Livramento now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich NATA Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Ross Stewart played and scored in a 45 minute appearance for Southampton U21's.

In fact someone should do a regular count up of Scots starting in the SPL each weekend. Probably average is no more than 3 per club. Including the bench its maybe 6 which is a very poor stat for a league .  Another question of the 3 potential Scots starting for clubs out with the old firm how many currently would be good enough to step up to Rangers or Celtic & genuinely improve their teams my guess is probably none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably my highlights of what's been a pretty quiet weekend for Scots players are Stewart being fit & even more so Doak being fit enough to get directly back on the first team bench without having to play any reserve team football helps confirm how highly he is rated by Liverpool I reckon. Edited November 5, 2023 by theabsentee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen had 4 Scots starting yesterday. You’d say probably only Shankland out of those 7 Scots would get in the Rangers squad. Big shame there’s no quota required, be some boost to the national team if every club had to start 5-6 Scottish players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todd Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Anyone else irked by folk saying "Between the sticks"? It's in goal or goalkeeper ffs.

Will we see a bucket load of Fraser assists for Stewart? Will we see Armstrong banging them in now he's on free-kicks? Will we see Adams and Stewart play together?

The reason it won't happen is simple. There is a report out there on the internet where the actual argument is whether he plays for Portugal which his dad wants or England. When Scotland was brought up by reporter it was dismissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Of course the hope is there that Livramento, Anderson and Barnes will get excited of the thought of playing in the Euros and jump at the chance and opt for Scotland on those grounds alone realising first choices aren't going to come calling anytime soon.

Livramento is a quality player, will he break into the full England Squad? With Trent Alexander, K.Trippier, K.Walker, R.James pretty much nailed on for the next few years! With a Scottish Mum, I’m hoping Clarke has him on his Radar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
