Injurys

[kmcca5]

Looks like Berra and Robertson are booth out.

[Goozay]

Robertson is a big loss.

He suited Strachan's system well against Nigeria and had made a good start at Hull.

[PASTA Mick]

Forsyth to come in? Or Whittaker or Mulgrew?

I'd have Whittaker in there. He's a liability though.

[Toepoke]

I've never known us to be so blighted with injuries so early in the season

[Gala Tartan Army (Borders)]

I'd rather they called up Bardsley, better than Whittaker at left back.

Agree.

It's like Bardsley is Dundee United and Whittaker is Aberdeen just now, a massive divide in ability and league positions

[Angus_Young]

As would I but can't see it happening. If he wanted bardsley as cover he would have been in the squad already I reckon

[Lion Rampant]

Dorrans is now injured, not sure whether he would have started anyway but another to add to the list.

[1ANDYP]

Dorrans is always injured, pity as I think he is a classy player. Please don't play whittaker at LB. Nothing against the guy but it is just not his position. always getting dragged into the middle.Would prefer forsyth

[er yir macaroon]

what are they doing in these training sessions?! Dorrans may well have replaced Snodgrass, given his start to the season.

[ProudScot]

Surely replacements are required. Is Tom Cairney not in this squad/been called up as a replacement!?!

[Bannannan]

Sick that Robertson's out.

[Bannannan]

Hummels almost certain to be missing.Big big plus for us.

[Eastiebeastie]

Reading between the lines I think Hummels and Ozil are both really toiling with Boateng very doubtful. Given it aint a massive game for Germany and they have domestic & CL fixtures to come I don't think any will be risked. Reported that Loew is calling in replacemets.

Draxler has also withdrawn. Add that to Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Klose and Mertesacher all unavailable and we are playing them at the best time.

Dorrans and Berra wouldn't even get a game from the bench, so as injuries go those 2 are decent for us imo.

I think playing the world champions in their first competitive fixture since winning it couldn't be worse timing.

(But I get your point)

Loew has said his players are knackered and have had little break since July. They had a confidence blow last nite and could be missing 6 or 7 from the team that won the final. We are in good shape with hee haw to lose. I would say its the very best time to get them . Much prefer this than the away banana skin facing Ireland in 35 degree Tblisi.

If we had our full squad then aye, optimism would be high.

We are missing some key players but we can fire in aboot them with 110% effort and hope for another Paris

[Gala Tartan Army (Borders)]

Dorrans definitely out? I think he would have started as Morrison not 100 per cent and Brown missing. Fletcher Mulgrew (if fit) and Morrison I think for central midfield three now.

[Geed]

Hopefully Bardsley gets called up today now Robertson is out
