dezz Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 We’re on an early flight to Brussels tomorrow and then onto Tirana early on Friday, and back via Brussels again on Monday. I’m on Davy P’s bus 19 so no brownie leaders for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Peter Grant, who goes to games in Scotland to report on players for Alex McLeish, spent his Saturday watching Clyde v Stirling. The National Teams future is in safe hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a 21yo who's part of a team who haven't conceded in five games and who stood out for the U21 side at the Toulon Tournament. Sadly the Scotland coaches refuse to watch the team he plays for, instead going to watch an irrelevant game involving their son. There's also Craig Halkett, who's likely to be subject of a six figure bid from Rangers in January, he'll be called up straight away of course, despite the fact he'll be playing the exact same opponents as he would be with Livingston.

Neilly Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 What's the deal with Cooper by the way? I am sure it has been mentioned elsewhere somewhere but why can't our best centre back get in the squad? Has he made himself unavailable for Scotland?

Some of the call ups have been a joke but stop making shit up, you can easily take the piss out of the current set up without lies. But yes Jack Hendry is pretty sh*t.

Jamie_B Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Aye, saying Hendry hasn’t played is silly. However, it’s absolutely true that he was dropped at the end of September because he was badly out of form and is now down the pecking order for Celtic’s starting XI.The likes of Halkett and Kerr are bang in form, but they wear the wrong strips to be considered. Did Halkett get any U21/u19 caps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hendry has been playing and he's been playing absolutely shite. That's the reason people should be upset about his call-up. Picking him ahead of Cooper is laughable so I can only assume Cooper is one of the large number of players to have told McLeish to GTF. Is Jamie MacDonald the only member of the squad to have never played for either of the Old Firm or currently play in England? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The Old Firm player merry-go-round will continue as long as the SFA keep appointing stupid auld c***s like McLeish. Sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Given Bates was called up before Hendry, can we assume he'll start at CB, or will he go with Hendry because he's been a semi-regular? I don't know enough about Bates, but Hendry definitely gives us the option to persist with the back three which I don't think Devlin did. It compensates for not having any right-back, although Hendry, Shinnie and Tierney have played there in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also are Players who have done decent for Scotland already this year, played in the latter stages of European competition too. I don't rate either of them personally but I can see why they have been called up given they are replacing replacments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
