I don't know if that is the SFA's rule or just some made thing concocted by Gemmill, but that's what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, I missed him too initially. Gemmill will probably play a midfielder at full-back though or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit strange that Montgomery is ahead of him. Maybe McKenzie is getting a full call up with the injury to Robertson at LB. Ramsey is still eligible for the u19s but when you have one RB in the squad, it is just stupid to leave a RB of Ramsey's quality out of the squad. Just some more baffling decisions to add to the long list Gemmell makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact Gemmill is still in post is baffling enough in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csinclair Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Gemmill likes to play Burroughs as a RWB so I imagine that's why Ashby is the only RB in the squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think Doig and Hickey would be ahead in the queue anyway. I think it's more likely that it is Gemmil's ineptitude as to why certain players are missing.

csinclair Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Hickey has only just resumed training following injury which probably explains no callup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csinclair Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Scott High is an interesting one. Never heard of him until today but he's started every game for Huddersfield so far this season bar one where he came on at half time.

With Bacuna away now he should hopefully be first choice this season. I know nothing about High but he's only 20 and starting weekly in the championship, that can only be a good thing.

"Young Huddersfield Town midfielder Scott High has been called into the Scottish U21 squad announced on Friday morning as a reward for his excellent form in pre-season and the start of the Terriers’ Championship campaign. High was man-of-the-match in the Terriers ' season-opening EFL Cup game against Sheffield Wednesday and has been impressive in all three Championship games to date. Manager Carlos Corberan recognised the 20 year old’s importance to his plans already admitting post-game that he should have started him against Fulham rather than bringing him on at half time." Well sounds like he's started pretty well according to the local paper there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 15 but has scored multiple hatricks at u18 level this season. He is being watched by multiple big clubs down in England and is being tipped highly to make it.

For example if you have a promising right back aged 20 amd another aged 18 then it makes no sence to call them both up to the U21s where only 1 of them will play.
