Gordopolis Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Not you personally but that can get clamped and put in the bin right away. Coming out of retirement the first time for the England games was bad enough, to do it again ooft. I'd be seething. Fair enough if folk get to a certain age and want to prolong their club career but don't grovel back when it suits. Hate him when he plays for Rangers but he has been one of the most improved players in Scotland in the last 2 seasons. Very under rated. Massive loss. It will be hard enough for us but if we lose KT and McGinn for the Euros we'd be as well chucking it. I totally agree re players waltzing back into the fold when it suits them. But in this case, it probably suits us more than Scott Brown. As an earlier poster said the next closest like for like with Jack is probably someone like McRorie - and Brown is clearly going to Aberdeen to be the head honcho in midfield ahead of him.Once again, just in case some walloper doesn't read my original post: I'm not advocating a Brown return, just saying he's probably the best fit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 As much as Scott Brown was a great player (seriously underrated by the clowns up here that can't see past the colour of a strip a player wears btw), he is absolutely fucking finished and would be nowhere near the requited standard. He could be our Danny Glover. Last day before retirement and all that......not that I want him back in the Scotland fold. Definitely not. Nope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Yeah Scott Brown is chasing shadows against Rangers. Hate to think what Modric and Foden would do to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See he’s been injured since late Jan anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always been a fan personally. He came off the bench against Chelsea last week. I'm not sure apart from that, he's had a very difficult time with injuries the last few years, but is a quality player. Not eligible so just hypothesising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McArthur slightly more box to box but can do that role. Isn't the player he used to be though, must be 33 now probably and hasn't played that much recently. Jack really is a big miss, gives us much more solidity and physicality in there. Obviously a shame for him too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Roar Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 McArthur would have been worth talking out of retirement for the Euros given the engine on him but he's been out for 2 months injured by the looks of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 https://youtu.be/rLdtcdaBusM?t=323 Could be back in contention for the last round of games against Moldova and Denmark, but maybe more likely will have to wait until March if we make the playoffs or June if we don't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 That would be good news, although I'm not sure I'd be keen to disrupt the Gilmour-McGregor-McGinn triumvirate. I'd play him against Denmark though for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
