As an aside from the is he / isn't he Scottish debate, nice to see Ross McCrorie eventually playing his first game for City. Played right wing back for over an hour. Not sure whether he can make a late push for the EURO squad but he is definitely in the "true Scot" category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right wing-back slots will go to Aaron Hickey and Nathan Patterson barring injuries. And if there are injuries the fall back option in recent times has been Anthony Ralstan.

Marky Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Don't know if it was mentioned in all the back and forth, but 90 minutes for both Tierney and Patterson last night. Tierney in a 2-0 away win over Osasuna in the Copa del Rey and Patterson in a 1-0 home win against Palace in the FA Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nothing inappropriate in what he said. This virtue signalling (as practised by young weirdos) is a pain in the arse. And that is indeed what you were doing. So stop it, silly boy. I wouldn't waste your time buddy. He's not worth the hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty much started every game for La Real since he's been there. Was just out for two months from October-winter break so no different to his Arsenal days until they signed Zinchenko. Will be starting for them home and away v PSG fitness permitting. They are comfortably top 6, last 16 of CL (coming through a very tricky group so they'll give PSG a decent game) and progressing in Copa Del Rey so plenty for him to play for out there.

DesiScotsman Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Craig Gordon back after 13 months out. Hopefully has a great game. Much better GK than Zander Clark No Lawrence Shankland in the squad. Has he had his head turned after reports coming out this morning that he’s rejected a new deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just because they have a few Scottish players, but also because their manager is Scottish and seems keen to utilise Scottish talent. It wouldn't surprise me if Martin signed more Scots. You'd think Scottish managers would have a biased desire to sign Scots, but it so rarely seems to be the case. Moyes never really seems interested in buying Scots. The one he did buy, McFadden, was used sparingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McCrorie’s best chance would be the right sided centre back in a three. I don’t think it will happen for the Euros, but maybe in the seasons ahead.

Dykes played left midfield a few weeks ago against Bournemouth. They have the young Irish striker Armstrong who is like a 200 metre runner and skillful. They both complemented each other quite well. Still think QPR will go down as their defence is awful. Fans were lamenting the retirement of Lee Wallace, shows how bad it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he could be used as a true defensive midfielder in partnership with Gilmour or McGregor, then it isn't of much benefit to us. BBC had him playing a bit deeper.
