Goalkeeper- Ian Turner

Defence- Jakie Mcnamara,Christian Daily, Andy webster, Gary Naysmith

Midfield-Darren Fletcher, Colin Cameron, Barry Ferguson, Neil Mcann

Strikers- James Mcfadden, Shaun Malonney

Subs- Soutar, Crainney, Ross, Stwart, Thompson, Miller, Murray

Dailly, McNamara, Cameron and McCann will be too old when it comes to the 2008 world cup. People criticise Wilkie, but he will improve with age and eliminate youthful mistakes. Ross is about the best I can think of as a young right back. Hopefully Fletcher, Pearson and Murray come through and advance their games. McFadden and Miller is a quality striker force.

Only reservations abotu this (provisional) line up would be a possible lack of width in the midfield and strength up front. maybe Vogts would like to start with Thompson or even Kevin Kyle (who I hear is doing well with Sunderland this season).

Of course, we could yet see Dennis Wyness or Barry Robson in a Scotland shirt ;)

Id hate to say, but who is ian turner????

Team looks not bad, but you never know who will be doing what in 4 years time. Hopefully all the decent under 21 players come through, but you never know how they will adapt. People can suddenly go out of the picture like Donnelly from Celtic.

Doesnt look a bad team tho does it, just hope everyone improves :D

Everton player who signed from Stirling last year. Was on the bench for the derby match the other week - absolutely dynamite and will become a successful keeper at international level.

Won't break through immediatly but give him 2 or 3 years times and he will be class/

Arthur :P

Ross Webster Rushford Naysmith

Fletcher Murray Pearson Stewart

2 from Miller Maloney and McFadden

Anyone who's not heard of Gavin Rushford will have in a few years time. He's currently the youngest player to have played in the SPL and is one of the best young prospects in the country.

thats one hell of a young team, it would mean only one player who would be over 30!! surely you cant miss out ferguson, i know he has never been amazing for scotland yet and he isnt every one favourite player but you cant not have him there, also did anyone notice fergusons performance improved alot when lambert went off, he started to command and control the scotland team like he used to do at scumgers

yeah.. I think they are are two best midfielders but are too alike... Has to be one or the other I'm afraid... Thought the midfield in general was poor though and the germans ruled that part of the game...

Ferguson will have 'retired' from inthernational football by that time. Look what team he has just joined. Souness was the king of the 'international call offs' when he managed Rangers, something which was comparitavely unheard of in his playing days.

So who is Gavin Rushford then, and where is he now? :huh:

I presume the Murray that's being discussed is Stevie Murray?

6 years is a long time to be fair. Alan Hutton was probably just breaking through. Same with Whittaker, Scott Brown, Steven Fletcher etc.

Gary Caldwell was a laughing stock - some might argue he still is. Craig Gordon might have just been breaking through.

If we were to predict a team now, for what our starting team would be in six years, not one person would get it right.
