So would I, but it would stop any negative comments about why he waited until just prior to our triple header to have the op. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong plays at a much better level and I think the hype around gauld was....Well it's just hype otherwise why sign for vancouver? Armstrong may not have set the world alight for Scotland but who has? He's a good squad player and I don't see gauld or Morgan as good options. Honestly think he signed simply for the extra 20k a week he will earn over there. As for Morgan he appears to have done little in the 14 + games this season to earn a call up.

romanticscot Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) This will be interesting to see if Armstrong is replaced. A different type of player but I'd rather a new face rather than Fleck. Morgan's first season in the MLS I was behind him being called up but not right now, regardless the North American players won't see any action due to quarantine rules.

I would be open to giving Siriki Dembélé a call up, as he is in the first team at Peterorough United who have had a reasonable start to the Championship this season. I do think it will end up being Fleck though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 Graham Alexander says Stephen O'Donnell struggling with a illness and might not make Dundee game this weekend. Suspect that means a straight swap for Ralston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Chris Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Some rumours I've just seen that McGinn is out of Villa game as he has covid.... Hopefully not true but not great at all to play Denmark away without him and McTominay given how strong they are in central midfield. Going to be a proper damage limitation job that one. Perhaps he might make Austria given that's six days later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we all know Patterson (or Ramsay, or Ralston) is the long term O'Donnell successor, but I thought he'd be in for at least another season.

romanticscot Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Forrest, Taylor, Paterson, McGinn all out. Forrest and Taylor are out if the squad but the other two.only miss tomorrow. Ouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Depressing that O’Donnell will line up at right wing back tomorrow night. With Patterson out it’s quite obvious Ralston should have been called up for this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csinclair Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Feels strange that we're not calling up replacements for Armstrong, Taylor or Forrest given it's 3 games in quick succession Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syecosse Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Not sure how true this is but Ralston may have tested positive and O'Donnell not allowed into Denmark due to not being vaccinated, not confirmed but on twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to be backs to the wall. My guess is he'll move Tierney out there. Wouldn't be surprised if he changes to a back 4 either.

I'd be blaming the SFA staff rather than O'Donnell. Someone on the admin side should've been aware of the rules for entering Denmark and known last week that he wouldn't be able to travel.

Templeton_Peck Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Nobody else can now get called up for Denmark game as now passed the covid test deadline set by uefa. Gordon Cooper. Hanley. Tierney Fraser. Gilmour. McGregor Robbo Christie Dykes. Adams Clark, Kelly, McKenna, Hendry, Gallagher, Mclean, Turnbull, Ferguson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
