They did, however, play in the September international break. Mckenna twice, the dreadful and unstable performances against Israel (1-1) and away to Czech Republic B, and Tierney once (that 1-1 with Israel. Gallagher played in three games in October. Considine played in two of those, Cooper in one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought the use of the word "previous" to mean "the one before that which you were discussing" was fairly obvious, so no idea why you chose to be deliberately obtuse. The issues with the defence in the two September came mostly from McTominay's inexperience in the position - both goals which we conceded stemmed from his poor positioning and had nothing to do with McKenna or Tierney. The overall blame for poor performances were much more down to the attacking players than the defenders though - it's not like we conceded a ton of chances in those games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mistake; genuinely misunderstood you. I'm not blaming either Mckenna or Tierney for the performances, even if I felt we were clearly less robust looking defensively in those matches than the most recent three. My point was that Gallagher has clearly played this role more in recent times in the Scotland defence, and self evidently had more time (matches and training sessions) to develop relationships and familiarity with other teammates over the three October games he played in. Some may be of the view that Mckenna is a better player, and that the gap is significant enough to overcome the advantage Gallagher will have from his increased familiarity and relationship building. I think it's fairly clear, though, that Gallagher will have those advantages now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For context, we got twice battered by Belgium, gubbed by Kazakhstan, and conceded six(?) to the Russians.

Scumjob Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 A couple of young Scots centre backs featuring in the Championship tonight with Hyam starting for Coventry and McIntyre coming off the bench for Reading. Future internationals? Maybe or maybe not but I think it's encouraging to see quite a few boys getting gametime at what it a steady level. I beleive we've got Murray Wallace at Millwall, Clark Robertson at Rotherham and Michael Rose also at Coventry in addition to the more well known McKenna, Hanley and Lindsay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
