tartanbrush Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Goalkeepers McGregor, Archer, McLaughlin Defenders Robertson, Tierney, Mulgrew, Lindsay, Berra, McKenna, Souttar, Paterson, Ralston Midfielders McArthur, McTominay, Fletcher, McGinn, Armstrong, Cairney, McGregor Attackers Fraser, Forrest, Phillips, Snodgrass, Griffiths, McBurnie Ralston wouldn't be an official call up, i'd have him moved up from the u21s though to train with the first team squad as I think he is the future at Right Back. I would also put in Sam Gallagher as a 3rd central striking option if he opts to play for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 What's the source suggesting Lindsay will be left out? Can only assume it's because Eck wants to introduce no more than a few new players to each position at a time. McKenna and Souttar both good options. Personally, I'd call in a really big pool for this first squad - including Lindsay and possibly Hendry (tho he's still finding his feet at Celtic by the looks of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would totally agree, they already knocked back 750 grand, if he's that quick with his other attributes he could go very very far very quickly.

woof! Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I was also surprised when Rodgers said Tierney was the fastest player at Celtic. Souttar, Hendry and McRorie are quick too, so things are looking up. It could allow us to set up an extra 10 yards up the pitch instead of the usual backs to the wall stuff.

No_Problemo Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 As an Ayr fan I can’t say I ever noticed any sort of pace from McKenna. But then any sort of positional sense or football brain seemed to be absent too. The McCall factor quite possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 McBurnie scores again tonight. Paterson too in the same game. Both stick ons surely ETA shiteballs - just saw Paterson has been taken off injured RB is a pain in the arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Paterson is not a right back. People need to get that out of their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Just now, Paco said: Paterson is not a right back. People need to get that out of their heads. Its perhaps not his best position but given the lack of right backs it is certainly an option for him to play there. Same can be said for Tierney.

craigkillie Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 He's played most of his career at right-back - just because he's currently having a good run in a different position doesn't suddenly mean he's not one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a right back, just an utterly terrible one who looked completely devoid of any awareness how to play the position during prior caps. Playing him at RB would be repeating a mistake.

accies1874 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I completely forgot that Paterson was the first-choice RB for a short while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Is there an issue with playing Paterson in midfield? I know we all want a right back but if he's playing well and scoring goals from midfield then why not have him as an option there instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
