scotlad Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Could have been worse. Would rather have drawn Bosnia or Iceland than Ukraine but at least we've avoided Serbia and, of course, Israel! Ireland aren't the team they were but their results have improved a wee bit lately. Armenia are a bit of an unknown quantity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I would expect that to end up us v Ukraine. Ireland we should take care of comfortably- they have Shane Duffy at centre half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjd1972 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Not a bad draw. B&H or Iceland would've been better from pot 1 but most important thing was to avoid Serbia from pot 3 (and Israel). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccaughey85 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Pretty happy with that group. We should be looking for second or maybe even first. Irelands results have picked up recently but we should still be looking to beat them especially at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Chris Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Loving the draws currently! 1st is realistic although all three are tricky aways. Would be confident of 7 points at Hampden. I assume you get guarenteed a play off for next euros for winning the group so would be a good insurance again to have although with progress of last 6 months I'd be very disappointed not to get top 2 whenever the euro 2024 group draw is made.

romanticscot Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I believe we need to win our group and be ranked among group B winners in the top 2 out of the 4 to be a pot 2 team for euro 2024 qualifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From_Dundee_to_Ancoats Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Whilst I'm pretty optimistic about it. One thing it may be worth noting is what sort of squad we will put out for this. With the start of the postponements in club football already over the next month or so and the world Cup in November. 4 games in a matter of number of days in June will there be a lot of withdrawals from squad. I feel now we have a strong enough squad to rotate which we have never had the luxury of doing. I just can't see Robertson, Tierney, etc being released after euros last year and then earlier start in premier league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Word of warning with regards to Ukraine venue. While I am 60% sure it will be Kyiv, good chance it could be played in Lviv, as that is their "lucky" stadium (they say in Ukraine that the people of Lviv will NEVER allow Ukraine to lose there!) and with the short time between games in June, but to take this into account as a strong possibility. I suspect the result in March will have a factor on this, and also when the game is (June, then 90% Kyiv, but if September and it turns into a "winner takes all" match, then balance tips to Lviv) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was astounded by how many druggies and how dirty it was around the city centre office. Anyway, gladly I didn’t stay long. Looking forward to pumping them up and down.

ProudScot Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Pretty good draw really. Yerevan in the June heat sounds like a banana skin but this is a different team now & we’d be joint favourites with Ukraine to win the group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah getting from Dublin to Yerevan might be a bit tricky. I think I'll pass. Dublin & Kiev the September weekend will do fine 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a huge confidence booster if we can get 6 points off them. Ireland are the weakest I've seen them in my lifetime. On paper, we should destroy them, but I know football rarely works out the way you think it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
