They finished top of Group C ahead of Bulgaria and Macedonia. Looks like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like trying to compare the Leeds title winning team with the one that just got relegated - no comparison. Never underestimate the Scottish capacity for self destruction 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan blood Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I know Georgia are on a good run, but not as good as ours. They will be scared of us. As they should be. I don't think we'll be nervous, which is the only thing that could stop us from winning tonight. I'd be happy with the exact same 11 as Norway, but just have more atacking intent from the start. Push Tierney and Hickey further up the pitch and give McTominay and McGinn free reign to create. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabtheBruce Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I’d start Gilmour for Christie (great sub to come on) and Move McTominay and McGinn up one. Other than that keep the same team, but as TB says push Hickey and the overlapping Centre Half Tierney further up the pitch to take the game tae them 🏴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think their lack of depth and it being an away double header should help but their domestic league only went on mid-season break 2 weeks ago so their fitness may not be an issue 🤔 It's difficult to judge their run given their Nations League standing but some not bad results in there. Can't be as half arsed as the Cyprus game or could be a long night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few folk I've been speaking to seem to have already forgotten how close that game was. They just remember the 3-0 scoreline, but seem to forget that Cyprus could easily have equalised before McT popped up with his late double.

ThistleWhistle Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Just watched the 1-0 game 8 year ago at Ibrox. We hammered them but were both lucky to score and not to concede from their 1 real chance. We had a decent team on paper that day and all.

vanderark14 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Just had a sneak peak at the TA facebook. There are some real wallopers on there, unbelievably there are still some Scotland fans who think McGregor is shite for Scotland. He's one of the fist names on the fucking sheet if he is fit This wasn't just one fan, it was several Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There also a few having a dig at Porteous too. If you had told me Porteous would adapt so well to International football, I would have laughed at you but he's done a great job since coming in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I might be on my own but for the first time in for as long as I can remember I am happy with whoever clark choses. His selections are never left field, that could be because he has a group I am confident in. If he drops a midfielder for Gilmour, so be it. Gilmour has his mojo back and he's a great talent Patterson or Hickey, who cares - they are both awesome. Porteous, Souttar, Cooper or Hanley - ach who cares they do great for us GET IN TE THEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think hes been pretty solid so far for scotland. I think he will improve alot over the next few years and he will play for a lower half epl team eventually. The penalty he conceded was harsh imo. Haaland just fell to ground and the ref bought it. Saying that i felt hendry possibly fouled haaland before that when he tugged on haalands arm and haaland didnt go down.
