Given it away too often and not sure he's hit a Scotland man with a cross yet. He clearly is the real deal though, attitude is great and he must be terrifying when he's running at you. There's an Alan Hutton 2008 era chaos factor about him. Doesnt seem to get put off if something doesnt work first time which is really good to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfCutNinja Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Steve Clarke has the air of a Glasgow hitman. He's the guy that comes to see you if you don't pay on time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishZizou Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 He won’t start in the Euros but Armstrong can count himself hard done by that he isn’t a starter for us. They play different roles I guess but he’s streets ahead of Mcgregor and had a much better domestic campaign than Christie who I reckon will start. Just brings a lot of energy as seen in the Netherlands game. I’d play Hendry Cooper and Tierney as the back three but pretty sure it will be Hanley. O’Donnell doesn’t make many mistakes but you really notice when guys like him and Hanley play in the team that we are significantly less comfortable on the ball. Thought we were very good against Netherlands at keeping it against a good team (only 40% possession apparently but felt more to me) without them. The ball often looks like a live grenade at O’Donnell’s feet against superior opposition (as referenced he doesn’t really make mistakes) Adams over Dykes for me which is maybe harsh after dykes qualifying campaign but he’s a much superior player 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Tierney Robertson and Fraser must be tearing their hair out at some of this finishing. Fraser clearly tearing hardest 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJF Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 He’s a talent that needs refined but I believe Patterson improves our chances as a starter rather than O’Donnell. I am completely biased though so take with a pinch of salt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyAnchor Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Expectations are we go a goal up early and they lose a player that we would spectacularly eff it up somehow so I am ok with today really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 A couple of years ago I don't think many would've thought we'd have the luxury of saying Forrest might not get a game. Now look where we are. This is by far the strongest group we've had in 25 years. We have depth and it appears a club like set up. Add Gilmour into that mix and we're dangerous. We could really do something special in this tournament. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without going full Rafa Benitez, facts are weve only lost twice in 16 games now, spanning 20 months. Winning 8 and winning another 2 penalty shoot outs. The only two games we lost were the two games after we qualified when the players were probably still half cut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pessimist is never disappointed. Good way to be when following Scotland. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snobot Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Think Gilmour was knocked out, his eyes were rolling when he hit the deck. That being said, he improved the team massively and hopefully isn’t concussed as he should be starting on Monday based on tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure we will see three different line-ups for the three group games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the ball in decent positions 2 or 3 times but there wasn't the likes or Aribo, Morelos or Roofe to aim for so either passed back or hit an aimless ball in to the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Btw, Sky devoting literally zero analysis or discussion time before or after the game is fucking scandalous. Whats on immediately after? Yet another old firm rerun. Fs! I know they only exist to promote their own product and dont have any Euro coverage, but fucking hell its embarrassing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Gilmour for McGregor. Hanley gives me the fear so would get in Cooper with Tierney on left and either Hendry or Gallagher on the right. Keep O'Donnell, Patterson looks good going forward but got caught out twice in his cameo. Up front I'd drop Dykes and play McGinn of Adams and put Armstrong in the midfield. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I suppose, he only had players who play at a higher level than they ever have for teammates. Good point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Dykes but to be honest, I’d start Adams or Nisbet ahead of him at this point. We really need players who can score and both these guys have shown now that they can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
