Mexico game apparently in doubt as there’s a dispute in Mexico and their players might not be released for the Scotland and Wales game.

I am particularly pleased with this news having booked my very expensive flights to Mexico City yesterday.

Johnny Russell scored a hat trick for sporting kansas city today. He's been playing every week and has earned a call up I'd say.

 

Edit: Should probably add that's he's the joint top scorer just now with 5 goals in 8 games. As far as I know he's been playing as a winger rather than a striker so it's even more impressive if I'm correct.

Also indicates the MLS is fairly pish. Good player though worth a call up.

Mexico can jolly well play their reserves then.

I don’t think we should be calling up MLS players , wasn’t Russell a bit young for chucking it and going there

Do you believe the Scottish Premiership is a better standard of league than the MLS?

I wouldn't begrudge Russell a call-up, but I feel he's A) too old to be a 'new hope' up front and B) has pretty much proved his average-ness in the English Championship over 4-5 years.

It seems likely that his recent spate of goals is not because he's suddenly doubled in ability, but simply because he's moved to a weaker league where it's far easier to go on goalscoring runs like that.

If anything he'd be a journeyman squad filler-inner for us for a few years.

Is the MLS stronger than the SPFL Prem? Really hard to gauge it, but given that our prem is penniless and has 1/65th of the population of the USA, I'd say the odds are an in-depth comparison would show the MLS up as a slightly stronger league.

It's certainly not any worse. Johnny Russell would likely score plenty in Scotland too and that would lead to folk saying he should be called up. If he keeps bagging goals then we'd be daft not to look at him.

The MLS is a difficult one to gauge.  Unless it's changed a lot, then there's still a huge gap between the top talent and the bottom.  You've got the designated players on mega bucks playing alongside college graduates that would likely struggle to get a game in our lower leagues.   It's certainly getting better, but quality wise I'd imagine our Premiership is still higher.  I could be wrong though, I've not really watched much of it.  I don't imagine it'll be long before it overtakes though, given the money they have at their disposal.  The US not qualifying for the World Cup will have a negative effect though.

just read this today £88 for a ticket. How can they charge this and can the SFA not do anything about it? its a friendly ffs

Nothing they can do if Peru wanna charge that.  They've got hundreds of thousands of requests from their own fans so obviously see an opportunity to make a wee bit of extra dosh.

 

Tbf to the SFA, they're offering a free Belgium ticket to everyone who buys a Peru ticket, which they didn't have to do

I never knew that mate , tbatvis a good gesture. Still £88 is a crazy price for a friendly. Any news on of a TV station will pick up the game?
