Option B isn't workable when you consider Kazakhstan play Russia on Sunday at home, so they'd be playing Saturday and Sunday. 3pm probably isn't ideal for us fans watching on the telly, but for the players, staff and fans actually attending the game it makes complete sense. I'm quite looking forward to it though - Sky set to record, phone off at 3pm, clock out at 5pm, bag of cans at 5:15pm, start watching the match by 5.30pm, bag of cans finished and our qualification dreams in tatters by 7:30pm. Never said we decided it, but it should be the case. They could play Russia on Thursday and us on the weekend, would at least make it an evening midweek KO for Russians.

Donathan Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Just a slight aside but apparently the Kazakh parliament just voted to rename the capital after the outgoing president, so those of you who think you’re in Astana are actually now in Nursultan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's your opinion fair enough, but once we've been drawn to play them we can't just sit here and say "aye but they shouldnae even be here". That's working under the assumption that Kazakhstan want to give us the best possible time to play - why should they? We play them on a Tuesday night at Hampden at 7:45pm in November, should we have arranged that for a weekend so that it suits them? 11 minutes ago, Donathan said: Why?

FuzzyBear Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Tierney out injured now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Tierney now ruled out. Presumably means Shinne or Palmer will now be play at left back? Seems a bit silly to not have Barry Douglas or Stephen Kingsley over there now. Robertson’s determination to make it has actually ended up hurting us!

thruthenight Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 CalMac is captain tomorrow apparently. Missing Tierney and Robertson is an issue. Shame that Barry Douglas wasn't drafted in. Palmer & O'Donnell starting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 We’ve gone from having two excellent left-backs to choose from to potentially having to field a bog standard championship right-back out of position. Excellent banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Actually, I forgot Palmer has been playing left back for Wednesday recently so yeah could be him instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Bain O'Donnell Bates McKenna Shinnie McGinn McTominay McGregor Forrest McBurnie Russell Harsh on Armstrong, but I feel we need to keep playing with two wide men after it worked so well in the last fixtures.

If they want to play on their own time then they can play in the AFC, but if they want to face the big boys the game must kick off at Europe O'Clock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 We should have had another left-back on the plane as soon as Robertson was ruled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
