Scottish Players in action 25/26

[bdgsct]

Off topic but I wonder if Askou would be a good option for our next manager. Seems to be very tactically savvy. I expect he'll want to stay in club football but his stock isnt so high that he is unachievable. Plays a style of football that I expect would suit our players better than the current approach.

Craig Halkett stretchered off. That might be any hopes he had of the world cup gone.

Marc Leonard on crutches too after coming off

Curtis had to be in the squad. 

Absolutely tremendous today.

His second was a cracking finish.

He's the type of player Scotland are in dire need of because we don't have enough attacking wife players.

Will Killie hang on to him or is there interests brewing for him?

You'd imagine that Leonard and Halkett were at least in the 55 man shortlist. They were solid backups if we got other injuries. Shame.

Leonard will probably get another crack of the whip, but Halkett is about to turn 31. He might struggle to convince Clarke, at least, that he should be included for the Nations League or Euro qualifiers.

It is a shame. In my opinion I feel the door is just a little ajar for someone to make a late run at a central defender spot or two considering Hanley has dropped off the radar and Souttar is not in a great place just now. Halkett an Findlay would be two of those in contention but sadly not now for Halkett.

Sad news for Halkett and Leonard and especially big blows for Hearts. 

  The reality is it was highly unlikely either would have made the final 26 anyway . Ideally Souttar gets a game for Rangers before the end of the season, but that's looking doubtful as he's not even a sub today. As for Hanley, well he played yesterday, though that's irrelevant to a certain extent as Clarke would pick him no matter what.

A Stan Collymore type?

[csinclair]

If Rangers have any sense they should give Curtis more gametime next season but knowing them they'll go out and sign some EFL reject

Back to rangers in summer.  Talk of another loan.

Barron and Tierney both playing well in the Old Firm game. A re-assuring burst of pace shown by the latter at one point.

Hard to see how Rangers would let him out on loan again since he's better than anything they currently have. Stranger things have happened I suppose.

[Burj_Alba]

Didnt see McKenna in the Dinamo Zagreb squad and cannot see him listed as injured. Anybody know what's wrong with him, DZ celebrating their championship with a home win.

Tierney assist.

He doesn't beat up Swedish weather girls does he?

McGinn starts today, hopefully not being overused & retains plenty energy for WC.

To my mind, tactical nous is essential for an international coach.

I wouldn't be against Askou getting the job, whenever it becomes available, but it is a huge role and I'm not sure he's big enough a figure yet.

I wasn't aware he was on loan from rangers 

They'd be better of playing him instead of loaning him out

Assist for McGinn, played 85 minutes.

Burke scores for Union Berlin in 1-3 victory away to Mainz 05.
