Ship has sailed on call ups now. 9am Monday was the deadline for covid testing. O'Donnell and Patterson both available for Saturday so no point calling up another right back now.

Gordon Cooper. Hanley. Tierney Fraser. Gilmour. McGregor Robbo Christie Dykes. Adams Clark, Kelly, McKenna, Hendry, Gallagher, Mclean, Turnbull, Ferguson. Fairly reasonable team considering the circumstances. I'd be happy enough with that tomorrow evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrie21 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 What a shambles with the RB situation. Whoever ends up playing there will more than likely be in direct opposition to Maehle. Could be a long night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Clearly the are going to target our right hand side, Fraser has pace for a counter but no height. Tomorrow is going to be damage limitations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csinclair Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I swear I read in a BBC article recently that the person in charge of the squad logistics had changed recently after the previous person had been doing it for quite some time. Either way, the fact that we’re going into any game with only 16 outfield players despite having right up until yesterday morning to call up replacements just looks embarrassing. Almost like the SFA are getting their excuses in early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 If this had happened when McLeish was in charge, folk on here would have been calling for him to be sacked because he must be pished or mentally unsound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningtings Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I'd maybe even look to play a back four and play Tierney at RB. Fraser defensively is worrying, it's not his strength obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccaughey85 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 We were always unlikely to get anything out the Denmark game anyways. Its Moldova and Austria that we need to get results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh maybe so, plus it wouldn't do confidence much good. Personally I don't mind the thought of fraser lining up at rwb. I think he could do well there and help us be more attacking.

csinclair Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 The mentality of ‘we were going to lose in Denmark anyway’ is exactly why we’ve struggled to qualify in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shug macdiarmid Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Certainly there should be no 'free hit' but perhaps knowing not much is expected can allow Scotland to play without fear. Think he will put three deep in midfield , McLean joining Gilmour and McGregor with only Christie playing behind one striker. Probably Dykes for his hold up play....
