Cracking game, some strike from toothless Charlie Adam

Hearts vs Dundee live on BBC shortly

Shankland was given leave of absence from the Scotland squad last night because his wife had a bairn. He will no doubt be back for Saturday. If the bairn's head is anything like the size of his, I feel sorry for his wife, she'll be suffering today.

This result puts to bed the argument that we can't expect to beat Serbia. If we can beat the Czech Republic, twice, we can beat Serbia.

No Dykes was not a red card, it was an accident. Even yellow was harsh.

The biggest compliment I can pay Clarke is that his team looks very much like Craig Brown's Scotland team. Very hard to beat. McTominay at centre back and Fraser as a forward are good tactical decisions. We don't even slightly miss Robertson. Or the tosser Tierney. Two of the back five tonight play for Motherwell, one for Aberdeen. No way would previous managers have selected these players. They'd have gone for Glasgow based players who were half committed at best.

Clarke has really sorted this team out recently.

Yes

Still defending really well. Very well organised.

Poking a hornets nest here but Gallagher has been excellent again. He’s too good for Motherwell.

Clarke has sorted out defending as a unit. We look like we can soak up pressure from good sides quite comfortably. Previously we would crumble as soon as the pressure was applied.

Dykes is a great player. Just shoves the Czech donkey out of the way.

Good start.

They toiled to a win against a non league team last night and lost to Peterhead at the weekend. Mellon will get sacked if he keeps this up as their fans still have delusions of grandeur.

Hornby has surely got to be good enough for the senior squad. We seem to take ages to give young players a chance in this country.

Losing to Peterhead is a shambles. I don't think Micky Mellon has a clue what he's meant to be doing. Knocking around the lower leagues in England his whole career will not have prepared him for managing in the top league in Scotland. He seems to know very little about Scottish football. We should win 2 or 3 nil.

Clarke is doing a good job.

Considine ️️️

I thought he did well against decent quality attackers last night, I wonder what sort of bid Motherwell would accept for him is the question. We should chance a £500k bid.

? you’re pretty hard on him for one mistake as a youngster. He’s a good player, that’s all I’m concerned about.

Was surprised Serbia beat Norway. Things might be falling in our favour.

We should look to sign Gallagher as McKenna’s replacement. Terrible from Scotland, jammy to win.

Billy Dodds looks fit for a heart attack.

Yes

What a goal.
