Replacing who?

Going by their respective teams it doesn’t seem ridiculous to say he could replace McKenna in the squad. I don’t know how either of them are playing though so I might just be talking a load of hot air - someone who pays more attention to the English Championship would know.

Last time I saw Souttar play he was on loan at Ross County and looked like a lumbering mess. He’s presumably came on a bit since then.

McKenna's not in our team either though. When Hanley was suspended we still played 3 other centre halves and brought Cooper on ahead of him. At very best Souttar would be 5th choice. And he is competing with the likes of Gallagher and Considine for that. 

Neither Souttar nor Boyle would be in our team. They might have a half chance in a 22 man squad. Maybe. Souttar would have a better shot than Boyle.

Boyle would probably never have been capped by Scotlland. 

Souttar probably would have been, he's a bit of a loss but not a massive one. Would certainly rather have Dykes.

Given the travelling time from Europe it's a strange call from Souttar. If he does go the EPL as the rumours suggest he'll be under pressure to cut the round the world trips to play diddies.

I’m aware of all this. That’s why I said squad.

What's the most goals a Scotland player has got in one calendar year? Fletcher with 7 must be up there?

Law got 11 in 1963
Stein got 8 in 1969
McGinn got 7 in 2019
Fletcher got 7 in 2015
Dalglish got 7 in 1977

Post war anyway

While looking this up I saw that four of Dykes six goals have been winners and the other two were the equalising goals in games we went on to win. He knows how to pick em

Ashamed to say I had to google him. Ended up with Elgin City in the Highland League.

P.S. Remember Colin Stein now obviously, after the reminder, hell of a player and man about town..

This is nonsense, if Nisbet has nearly 10 caps then Boyle would most certainly have that and possibly more, a far superior player.

He plays a different position though (and a position we don't really play). Unless he's challenging Fraser as an out of position wingback.

 

Not convinced Nisbet is the answer either but he got his first cap years before Boyle was capped by Australia. If we had wanted the latter it wouldn't have been too hard to get him. For the former, he still has room to grow and has developed a lot in the last few years.

Eh? Boyle got capped 3 years ago. Nisbet only got capped this year.

That’s just not true sir, he’s played up front pretty much all season and alot of last season.

He also plays there for Australia.

And Nisbet got his first cap for Scotland in March, Boyle was capped by Australia in 2018.
