kmcca5 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Just looking at our squad and we have a lot of players turned or turning 30 in the next year or so and will probably only have one more qualifying campaign in them. It got me to thinking who do you tip to make the break through into the Scotland Squad in the next twelve months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hopefully Gauld will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hopefully Gauld will. Good Aberdonian Loon right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Think Strachans squad is pretty settled these days, and can not see many younger players breaking into his squad pre Euro Championships (if we make it) as he will stick to the guys who got us there (unless there is a player who really stands out that is......) Would expect to maybe see a couple of younger players involved in friendlies pre-tournament, but these will mostly be with one eye on seeing them introduced to the squad after the finals, and will not break into the team straight away.

Yes I totally agree with this. Aside from players like Mackay-Stevens and Armstrong I don't see any major changes or breakthroughs into the squad.

kmcca5 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 I seriously hope that Mackay-Stevens and Armstrong start well at Celtic and break into the Scotland squad. If Matt Richie can get a game it is Criminal they aren't even in the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrison1982 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Think the likeliest thing is that Robertson will get a move to an EPL team (there have been rumours of interest from Villa), play regularly and get into the national team more often from next season.

John_B81 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hoping for a top class centre back to burst through the ranks or we find a decent one with a Scottish Grandparent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmcca5 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 <p>Danny Wilson  </p> Is he that bad? Can't say I have seen him play much so was more in hope that potential I have seen to be honest.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_B81 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I know he is a Left back but what is Stephen Hendrie at Hamilton like, is he any good? From what I saw when Aberdeen pumped them 3-0 going on 7 in February, he was rank rotten. Shinnie is the best bet of a left back coming in if Robertson, Forsyth or Whittaker get injured/suspended.

kmcca5 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Jack Grimmer if he can get a full season at Fulham and avoid Injury John Souttar if he can get a full season at Dundee United and avoid Injury Alex Davy if he can get another loan move and again avoid Injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in5omniac Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Barry Douglas perhaps, admittedly seen very little of him but have heard he's playing well for Lech Poznan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmcca5 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Barry Douglas perhaps, admittedly seen very little of him but have heard he's playing well for Lech Poznan. It would be worth putting him in for a Friendly to see what he is like especially as Left Back seems to be an issue at the moment. More choice the better.

wanderer Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Kyle Cameron at Newcastle 6foot 2 center back, played for Newcastle in their under 21s. Isn't he only about 18? Long way to go for him to be in contention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmcca5 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Isn't he only about 18? Long way to go for him to be in contention Probably! Clutching at defensive straws I am afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er yir macaroon Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Lewis Macleod if he stays at Brentford, although more likely after the Euros along with Gauld and Ryan Christie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo2576 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Looking forward to see what Lee Erwin does at Leeds. John Souttar looked tremendous after the split when he was moved into midfield. Big season for Ryan Jack too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 History suggests that any player breaking into the squad/team will come from the English lower leagues rather than the Scottish Premiership. Strachan seems to have a blind spot for that. Not a criticism, as long as it keeps on working out. If anyone will break through from Scotland, it'll be Armstrong or Jack. More likely to be some gadgie from Rotherham though that doesn't even know that he has a Scottish grandad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
