Sortmeout Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) As a supporter of a Championship dwelling diddy club I’m not 100% clued up on the top flight this season but the question is - could you build a squad of 16/18 players from the 10 clubs outside Celtic and Rangers from the current squads that couldn’t just compete over one game but could go ahead and challenge for the league title and if so what would that squad be. Off the top of my head I’m thinking about a squad containing: Gordon, Clark for GK , Ramsey, Souttar for the defence Brown, Ferguson, Adam in midfield. , Ramirez, Nesbit etc up front. *haven’t intentionally left anyone out from the above and I’ve only named 11 players so it’s not a first team just throwing names out there. Edited October 31, 2021 by Sortmeout Took the Motherwell players out for obvious reasons 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) I think you could build a team with a decent chance, yes. You've got: Hearts: Souttar, Boyce, Baningime Dundee Utd: Siegrist, Butcher, McNaulty Hibs: Boyle, Nisbet, Doig Aberdeen: Lewis, Considine, McGinn, Ramsay Motherwell: Kelly, O'Donnell, Van Veen, Watt St. Mirren: Alnwick, Shaughnessy, Erhahon St. Johnstone: Clark, Rooney Dundee: Adam County: Hungbo, Clarke Edited October 31, 2021 by Comrie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just threw out the first options in my head form teams I could think of. I've seen Butcher have some good games against County, maybe that's skewed my perception. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinkle Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 United have 5 that would challenge for a place in the starting XI. Benji, Edwards, Mulgrew, Fuchs and Levitt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Scott Brown in the squad but no Beni Baningime? I'll have one of whatever you've been smoking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 No you couldn’t do it. No matter the strength of a combined Diddy XI, they simply cannot overcome the Old Firm 91st minute penalty count over the course of a season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but he will struggle to get back into the United team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I doubt it, Hearts are probably the closest so you'd be aswell just looking at how you improve on them. Maybe replacing Smith with Ramsay, and Ginnelly with Boyle, helps them, but not enough. Obviously you'd add more depth to them too so shite like Halliday doesn't get near the squad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
