And he's the biggest crock-waiting-to-happen of them all. 🤦‍♂️

I have a mental image of him breaking down about 25 minutes into the Germany game and that being his tournament - and Scotland's - fecked!

Such a talented player on his day but just a pity his body breaks down as easily as snapping a poppadom in half

It really is. If he has a groin problem he probably needs an op.

The "injury crisis" has been slightly exaggerated.

The only players who are confirmed absentees are: Brown, Patterson, Ferguson and probably Jack*.

None are first picks.

Gilmour is back, as is Hanley. McTominay will be back soon.

*Hopefully Stuart Armstrong gets added to the list. Apart from his ability to assist Harry Kane, and his constant dropping his head and dribbled the ball out of play, he offers nothing.

Apart from a quiff and a law degree.

I hope you're being tongue in cheek re. Armstrong, he's a good reliable player, puts in a shift and is capable of coming up with a goal. I think we're relieved that McTominay's injury is not as bad as first feared. My worry is our defence with both Hickey and Tierney currently out, both are key players in our starting line up.

Armstrong is a liability and has no contrition for costing a win against England.

He's been forgiven too easily.

Plus He's awful.

His modus operandi is getting the ball, looking down and doing a Forrest Gump impression.

As far as Tierney, Hickey and McTominay go. Far more important.

Lol do you think we are France or Brazil?

By our standards Armstrong is a decent player. He's spent most of his career for Celtic or in the epl and he's done relatively well at that level. 

He's maybe not first pick but he's an important squad player who would probably have gotten serious gametime especially considering Ferguson is out.

Fucking hell. You're a maniac.

Armstrong has been a solid Scotland player for most if not all of his career. He's scored crucial goals for us, has been an excellent sub many times and deciding not to bloot the ball out the park sunday league style one time won't change that.

Contrition...! Fucking hell....

And Armstrong is probably in the best form of his career. That’s coming from someone who would have started phasing him out two or three years ago.

No contrition?  By all accounts his wife/girlfriend picked him up after the game and he was inconsolable

It's a pity chripper has to try and be controversial all the time because He has a point about the injury crisis. Mctominay is expected to make it as is Armstrong. Hickey, we don't know yet.

I agree somewhat with this. It's only natural that in the build up to the tournament fans and journalists will catastrophise any Scotland player not being fully match fit. Hickey might even be back in time for the Gibraltar and Finland games and Tierney is significantly injury-prone, so just need to accept the fact that he might not make it, or if he does – he might not make all three group Games.

How do his wife and his girlfriend get on?  That’s pretty modern, but then Stretch is a modern kinda dude.

I think that has been suggested already. We've already had the full house 😆
