Scotland Squad for March Friendlies

[BigAl]

 

And I'm a little bit annoyed that these flimsy wins have papered over the massive cracks that are McGhee and Strachan.

 

Exactly my sentiments

Exactly my sentiments 

 

I feel like this too and I wish I didn't - want to be able to support the Scotland team but absolutely canny stand the gruesome twosome and the dire politics that go with every squad selection

 

Saw a headline with Strachan commenting that although the youngsters did well he would still be relying on the older players for the World Cup qualifying - seriously wtf!!!

What an absolute amount of shite. He does realise that Celtic aren't playing European football right now? No wonder the national team is a joke. Get a grip Strachan.

Liam Mcleod mentioned during commentary that Lee Wallace was supposedly the next choice ahead of Shinnie

 

Says it all really.

Squad for the upcoming friendlies have been announced... You can probably guess who makes it and who's been left out by now. 

 

Probably works out in our favour I guess, more chance of a rest for our players.

Strachan said that he didn't pick any dons or Tims (apart from Mulgrew - I assume for fitness) to allow them to rest so they're fit for Europe. Fair doos. Good that he's included two huns, a hertz and a hibs player on the assumption that they'll get papped out in the first round anyway (if they make it in hibs/huns case).
