Starting line up, assuming no injuries apart from Gordon:

Kelly

Hickey - Hendry - McKenna - Robertson

McTominay - MacGregor

Armstrong - McGinn - Christie

Adams

Squad:

GK: McCrorie, Clark

DF: Patterson, Hanley, Porteous, Tierney

MF: Gilmour, Ferguson, Fraser, Doak

FW: Dykes, Stewart

Would like to find a place for Josh Doing but 5 full backs is pushing it. Obviously Cyprus and Spain are completely different propositions so we might want to a bit more attacking against the Cypriots. If Doak keeps looking as impressive as he had, that one might be a great one to give him his first start and see what damage he can do.

Decent shouts.

Though seeing an actual XI with Kelly in goals is quite sobering 🫤

After how well the back four worked in September (without Robertson) and how poor the back three was in the first half in Turkey, it’s hard to see how we don’t play a back four for these fixtures. I’d absolutely love to get four points out of them but would settle for three. 
 


Gunn

Patterson-Hendry-McKenna-Robertson

McTominay-McGregor

Armstrong-McGinn-Christie

Stewart

 

 

For the Spain game I’d play Adams over Stewart and sacrifice one of the wingers for Gilmour in a 4-3-3

Below was our squad for the Ukraine game in the nations league. Coloured them green/red in terms of where they have been at in club football recently. Think its a big worry with the games only 5ish weeks away

 

  • Gordon - Injured
  • Patterson- Injured
  • Hendry- Not been playing- couple of recent games
  • McKenna-Seems to be playing pretty regular in an improved forest team.
  • Tierney – Not playing
  • McTominay- Not playing
  • McGregor – playing well/regular
  • S Armstrong-injured
  • McGinn-in and out/not playing regular
  • Christie-not playing regular
  • Adams- Regular for a struggling Southampton team. Confidence could be a problem
  • Taylor-playing well/regular
  • Porteous- Good move to Watford. Seems to be straight in as a starter
  • Dykes-injured
  • Kelly-hopeless
  • Gilmour-not playing
  • Ralston-injured
  • Fraser-nowhere near playing
  • Jack- in and out of the team
  • McCrorie- no where near playing
  • Hickey-has been injured/making his way back
  • McLean- seems to be in and out of the Norwich team. Probably should be dropping out of the squad in the near future anyway

That's pretty bad to see.  Unfortunately lots of guys stymied by manager changes. Clarke is loyal usually, so I can't see him really changing it up too much. Only real bit of good news is that now Porteus has his long term future secured he will continue to be a team player and kick on from his Scotland debut, without having to make it the Ryan Porteus audition show like he did in his last derby appearance.....

That's a bit glass half empty in my opinion

Armstrong, McGinn and Ralston are all making their way back from injury and could be categorised under the same heading as Aaron Hickey.

McTominay and McCrorie are currently injured and not available to play. Scott McKenna picked up a hamstring injury for Nottingham Forest at the weekend while Billy Gilmour was ill at the weekend.

  • Ryan Christie has played 460 minutes for Bournemouth (51%) since the World Cup break.
  • Kenny McLean has played 810 minutes for Norwich (90%) since the World Cup break. 
  • Ryan Jack has played 707 minutes for Rangers (60%) since the World Cup break. 
  • Billy Gilmour has played 233 minutes for Brighton (26%) since the World Cup break.

* Both League and Cup matches.

The only players likely to be unavailable for selection come March as it stands are Halkett, Gordon, Stewart and Ramsay with a large question mark around Dykes.
