Campbell also plays regular football and was one of his teams best players this season as they almost got promotion to the Premier League. Campbell deserves his call up. Wright will just have to work harder won't he ? 14 minutes ago, todd said: Never mind, did 'the Google', but still, I can't recall him even being suggested for a call up before🤔 A few people were suggesting him as a call up for the friendly games back in March. 24 caps for the U21s and a familiar face to anyone who follows the Scottish Premiership from his time at Motherwell. Hardly an unknown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 A wee bit of trivia: If Allan Campbell does play during the upcoming games, he'll be the first Luton player capped for Scotland since Mick Cullen in 1956 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly an unknown. Wright not being called up is consistent with Clarke's approach in the past. I remember when Ralston broke into the first 11 at Celtic earlier in the season, but Clarke said a short stint in the first team isn't enough to merit a call up. Ralston managed to stay heavily involved for Celtic, so got his deserved call up later. Same thing happened last year with Turnbull. Wright has done very well lately, but I think most of us know fine well that as soon as Rangers get some injured players back AND the transfer window opens, he'll most likely be back on the bench. Allan Campbell has played over 40 games for a promotion chasing team. Clarke has not just called him up on a whim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scot1 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I think Campbell is a decent player; but I feel we have better options at right centre midfield. McGinn can play there, McTominay would be my 1st choice there in a 3 man midfield. Lewis Ferguson is a better player there, you could also play Turnbull there if needed and he’s also a better player. I think Campbell needs to be tried as a defensive / holding midfielder, I think that is where he could well shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest Campbell will not feature (certainly not in the play-off matches) anyway. However, he may figure as a sub in the Nations League matches perhaps against Armenia as squad rotation will definitely come into play.

I’d like to see Clarke switch to a back 4 against Armenia at Hampden, there’s no need for a back 3/5 in such a match. Would be a good opportunity to try Campbell in the defensive midfield/holding role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) I don’t think Campbell will add anything different to what we have got already. At least Wright has been playing and scoring recently. Would prefer options rather that bring safe.   Edited May 29, 2022 by EddardStark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a couple of Luton games towards the end of the season and Campbell was all over the pitch. A real all action midfielder. Championship football’s a fair bit below international standard but I’d be happy for him to get a chance in one of the Nations league matches. Pity Jack’s out because even though he was unlikely to start, he’s a good experienced player to come off the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I do like his work rate but I get the feeling that he does run around like a headless chicken at times. He’s not as technically good as other players we have that also play right centre midfield. I think if you played him in front of the defence, in a season or two, if the penny drops and he develops the discipline and reading of the game required for the position, we could have a very good defensive/holding midfielder, a role/position in which, I feel, we are lacking.

Yeah looking back it’s a car crash post other than I was impressed with Wrights performances in the last part of the season. He’s done well in some big games including the Europa Semis and Final as well as the SC Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he’s certainly never going to be N’Golo Kante! Maybe more James McArthur if he maxes his ability! Which would be pretty decent going.

If he can make the adjustments required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Wright comes in for some undue stick. Wright set up a great chance for Gers in the Europa League Final and also scored a cracking goal in the Cup Final so he certainly has shown he can perform on the big stage.
