Ryan Gauld

Absolutely no fucking logic to not calling him up - there's no limit to the squad size and he's clearly someone who the manager should be taking a closer look at!
The elite athlete exemption doesn't currently include Portugal (and might not for a while yet given its links to South America).
He's not going to come here weeks early to self isolate for 10 days and then self isolate again when he gets back to Portugal.
In general, there are still a lot of issues in the air around the next international window (see Scotland WT vs Portugal, Arsenal vs Benfica and anyone else saying no sporting exemptions for banned countries).

Would personally like to see them take a look at the young lad Mallan. Performing brilliantly in a top Turkish team and is reportedly one of the best players in the league.

After one game. 😂

Surely to God hes not going to end up going back to sporting.

It would be strange. Especially with them on course to win the league you’d think it’d be even more difficult for him to get a game.

I just feel instinctively nervous about Gauld moving anywhere, given the shite luck he's had so far. Best if he stays with Farense and helps them avoid relegation.
Wouldn't mind seeing him going to mid table Liga team tbh., Like maybe Celta Vigo, Villarreal or even Valancia.. Wouldn't be much of a cultural change and la Liga gets more exposure

He's too good not to be considered. If Steve Clarke doesn't call him up then he's a complete arse.

Its a big decision considering the depth in the midfield positions but between him and armstrong, gauld needs to be given some time in the qualifiers in march at least

Armstrong is consistently great for Scotland and has been really good for Southampton this season. McGinn is a key player for counter-attacking and pressing. Christie has perhaps been Clarke's main man since he started getting a game.

I don't know if Gauld is better than them, but it will be really tough for him to even get in the squad, never mind a cap right now.

He does seem to be playing well enough, but I wouldn't say we're exactly crying out for another midfielder. If he was playing at a higher level and was putting in similarly stand-out performances then aye, but being a stand-out for a team at the bottom of a league not much better than the Scottish Prem isn't irrefutable proof that he's better than what we have.
