Pie Of The Month Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I don't think Clarke will be for chucking someone in who hasn't been involved before for these games but Liam Lindsay at Preston has kept 6 clean sheets out of 6 in the Championship so far this season. He's also left sided though which doesn't help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke knows him and he's playing well in the Scottish Premiership - like he was the last time he was called up. I expect he'll be back in the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Saintsible Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Scott McKenna is now our central defender playing at the highest level. And he’s playing for a club that’s just signed 18 new players for £150 million and is still first choice. The problem is that he plays left central defence in a back 3, same position as Tierney does for Scotland. I think Clarke needs to look at McKenna in the middle of the back 3 going forward. It’s the position that Grant Hanley has done so well in for Scotland but it’s not a position that Hanley plays at club level either. Maybe Hanley can move to play on the right? He’s playing playing left central defence for his club in a flat back 4 this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always considered Scott McKenna an option as the middle centre-back and wouldn't have any issue if that were to be something that happens. I think a more likely replacement for Grant Hanley would be Jack Hendry or Liam Cooper given both have been given that role when Scott McKenna has been available. My preference is for Grant Hanley to continue as our first choice central centre-back for the remainder of the Nations League games in September, but possibly consider other options around March 2023 ahead of the Euro 2024 qualifiers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I'd forgotten about Stephen Welsh (playing tonight). Decent option if we need cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t have agreed a few months ago but aerially this season he’s improved a fair bit. Add being an u21 captain and Ange seeming to rate him by punting a few bids for him now it would seem an option for the squad if somebody pulls out. Still not massively convinced myself though but tbh you could say that about a fair few of the cb’s in the squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62863137BBC reporting that Halkett is fit for tomorrow night's match in the ECL.Potential for him to be drafted into the Scotland squad? I supposed he's in a similar position to Cooper - not injured but not match fit either. I imagine it might come down to necessity if either is called upon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young player breaking through that has options for a few countries they jump on it straight away. If Elliot Anderson/Harrison Ashby etc was eligible for them they would be in their squad by now i believe. (Not saying i agree with this or that we should be calling up every tom dick and harry that shows early potential). Only Gilmour and paterson of late maybe fall into the breaking through/not many games category and straight into the squad and they have certainly been good additions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather him than someone who isn't really good enough anyway and would just be a squad filler for a little while. I think he is going to be a very good player and is pretty much ready to come in now or pretty soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Liked the look of Lewis Neilson for Hearts last night. No idea what his career's been like so far but be definitely caught the eye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
