What a half.

Not really..... What a pass and goal.

Ah well. Got the stream working unfortunately. Chucked it. Poor from Nilsen and Molloy.

Stream down after zero minutes. I knew there was a reason I subscribed to RedTV international. Anyone got a reliable one?

Aye, no changes is surprising. Although Clarkson is very useful when trying to score.

Shinnie is the power and legs in the middle, have you not watched any of our games this season? There's absolutely no chance we'll dropping our captain for the biggest game of the season thankfully. Duk at 10 is an interesting one. He's never played that say for us before (he's played in a front two, but never deliberately behind the striker), but I could imagine him just getting the ball and driving directly at them rather than any of that passing nonsense. It would be entertaining, as long as we didn't require any additional defending. As most others have said, Shinnie forward in place of Clarkson would make most sense against the Tims. Shinnie to get right in the face of McGregor would be interesting, see if he can get him booked early doors (Duk to come on and get him sent off!). Closing off that link between defence and midfield will be vital. A toss up between keeping everything else the same and having Duk on from the start. Personally, I'd keep Duk on the bench, because of the discipline we'll need to have in shape. Duk was immense when he comes on, playing out wide, but there's no way we could have Duk out wide against the Tims for ninety minutes and not give up several chances. If he was starting, then, you'd probably put him at number nine, and then you're sacrificing the ability to take him on later to terrorise the fullback. I think I'd be inclined to leave him on the bench, and him and Clarkson can come on when we're one up and looking to stretch the lead.

This isn't the right thread! Finished 1-3. Accies providing a masterclass in spreading around the bookings. Not sure how they finished with eleven.

Accies being humped by McGlynn's bairns. 0-3 half time, and very lucky to still have eleven on the park.

Yep, I was just joking, he hit a bird. Best avoided.

Shaun Rooney available. Worth a look?

You forgot to add a bit about how Rubi has unfinished business with Kyogo's face.

I don't believe that was stipulated, no.

McRorie ahead of McLean? Hector ahead of Pollock? It's quite a wild selection, generally. Although nicely presented.

Motm performance again. Fantastic. Ronaldo will be telling everyone about the day he made his Hampden debut in the same game as Nicky Devlin made his Scotland debut. Biggest moment of his career. A good draw against a good team. The defence were very good all night and McLean and Gilmour covered well and took the ball in extremely tight positions and retained it. Christie was okay, as was Doak and Adams worked hard. It's all ifs, but and maybes, but if Devlin had been running through, he'd have picked out McTominay. You wouldn't have wanted McTominay's early header to fall to anyone other than Jack MacKenzie, and there's no way Kevin Nisbet would have been heading Adams' chance back across goal. If Clarke had been braver, then, we'd have been looking at a 3-0 scoreline, but it wasn't to be.

Finished 3-2. Gemmill will be fine though, nobody else would want the job.

Disgusting oversight from Clarke again, as Devlin, Mackenzie and Nisbet all miss out on starting places. Adams in to run around instead of dykes.

Not surprising really. McLean and Gilmour were out on their arses towards the end of the Croatia game with few options from the bench. I'd be surprised if he didn't get on. Despite being a dirty Judas Hun fuck.

Wow, and he was still driving? I guess they don't have the same safety ethic in Hungary.

Pollock, McRorie, gartenmann, Robertson, Lowe. Plenty of others.

It was crying out for Mackenzie. Anyway, we were okay, they were better. Gilmour was good. McLean did okay and the back two were fine. Good that Clarke played Hanley left and not souttar. However, he's fucking atrocious at making subs. That game was running away from us about ten minutes before they scored, and he just waited. Again. We had several players struggling.

Perhaps he's concerned that Croatia have been getting the inside on Devlin from Ante Palaversa? I expect we'll see him tearing up the Portuguese on Tuesday. With Ralston and any remaining Tims suspiciously leaving the squad early ahead of next weekend's fixture.

It should be the end of Clarke in my opinion.

Well deserved. Scotland legend.

Looks like the games are going to be live on viaplay YouTube. Good stuff. Doesn't appear to be the fault of the SFA, but someone has made a right cunt of the TV rights for the nation's league games. Worked out nicely that they're free to air.

From a Scotland perspective, it's not good, as Shankland was by some distance the better of the two at the weekend. Neither are good enough at present, but those are the options. Hopefully he gets a few good days training, with a two minute cameo and winning goal at Hampden. Edit: I say at Hampden, because Devlin's hattrick will have sunk the Croats long before Nisbet is required.
