I’m usually having a go at McGregor when he plays for Scotland, but he had a brilliant game tonight. But I can’t think of a recent Scotland match where you look back on it and you can’t find anyone who didn’t have the best game they could. I suppose that’s what you need to beat a team like Denmark. What a performance.

If you want to be really picky, you could say Tierney and Robertson were fairly quiet going forward?
And SOD will never better his bewilderingly great game against England, so, tonight relatively meh!

Why is it some wummin can’t understand that even if you have watched the game live, you will still delight in watching the highlights of some games?

As an appendum to this I’ve just realised that there is further highlights on ITV. What an evening.

Ah. John Collins. Makes no sense to watch it again.

Our friend Mr English described it as a  " classy " performance . While my blood pressure is just returning to normal after some of the tippy tappy play , and the beginning of the second half , it is rather a good call

If we play the occasional long ball it does mix things up a bit !

Beautiful !

My only real complaint of the night is that I didn’t fully celebrate the second goal because I was convinced that the VAR was going to disallow it for offside.

Also did this, infuriating.

It’s amazing what a bit of organisation and confidence can do for us.

Clarke has instilled a sense of belief in these players that hasn’t really been seen since maybe the Smith/McLeish tenure?

I think some of them had a sense of belief already , but it is all good !

I think McGregor has been excellent in recent games. Gilmour has (understandably) been getting most of the plaudits but McGregor’s positioning and ball retention has been superb. The two of them dovetail beautifully together in that midfield.

Superb

To the BBC bias thread. This is like div shutting P&B down when his lot get pumped.

St Mirren ?

If the top 3 runners up qualified automatically we'd be through. Playoffs unfairly biased in favour of the diddies. 

[Salt n Vinegar]

Dunno if it's just me, but I think McGregor has really improved since Broonie left Celtic. Hard to drop him from the Scotland starting 11 nowadays

[accies1874]

I pray, pray to almighty that this finally, finally consigns the McTominay defensive experiment to the fucking bin!
We have plenty of good centre backs now. Let McTominay fight McGregor for a place in midfield.

There's still a space for him on the right of the three in certain games IMO as he's still the most effective on the ball, but Hendry and Souttar (despite the latter only playing once) have made it very difficult to pick McTominay there. If the play-off was next month then McTominay wouldn't start and it'd be incredibly harsh to drop Souttar.

That move involving McGinn, Adams and Armstrong is possibly one of the best non goals I’ve ever seen. F*ck*ng defender.

McGinn's pass was incredible. He played an identical one when Adams was offside too. He's been incredible for Scotland in recent years but I think these two games have been his best performances.

What a fucking team by the way, and what a beautiful man Steve Clarke is. Another magic night at Hampden.

He's been our best player since the Euros, as well as being great against England during them.

Wee dig at Ryan Fraser from Faddy there?

What did he say?

Waxing lyrical about the club style atmosphere, saying how you have guys all desperate to play for their country and people aren’t just pulling out the squads anymore and went ‘well most aren’t’.

The Spanish Gilmour and McGregor.
 
 

They fucking wish!

McGregor is returning to his Rodgers era Celtic form. Like 90% of the Celtic squad, he lost his form amidst the shambles that was last season, but he really is a tremendous player. 

[accies1874]

It would be funny reading the match thread from our last home game pre-Covid and compare it to this one. I've always loved watching Scotland but it hadn't been a proper national team for so long. It absolutely is now.

Thought he was tremendous tonight. They all were excellent, but it wasn't too long ago McGregor was being slated For performances. Kinda felt he was unfairly used as a scapegoat for some after poor Scotland team performances.
