He played 127 minutes in Serie B this season, so I can't see him getting much of a sniff at the level above. At 22 it seems unlikely he's going to make much of a breakthrough, though of course you can never rule out a late bloomer.Fingers crossed !!

He doesn't really get a game, might be loaned back to Serie B or something.
Josh Doig being linked to AC Milan though, that would be a cracking move for him. Also Watford which would also be a good move. As long as he doesn't go to the Old Firm, get to a top league and make it there ASAP.
1 ) Boo
2 ) Josh is another left full back. We need Nathan to impress A.C. Milan when he comes on this evening

I think this is the reason McTominay played in a back 3,it's not natural for the midfielders we have to track runners they always pass them on.
That is why we do not do well in the finals

Preceded by Craig Levein saying he thought we were too negative against Costa Rica AND that he informed Andy Roxburgh of his opinion
( He was not prepared to elaborate when asked
but Roxburgh did play him against Sweden ! )
Someone said that Costa Rica played all their qualifying games behind closed doors and that is why nobody knew much about them !

Well considering he's 7 inches shorter than Doig I'd say that's a no.
History says otherwise !

Taylor isn't very defence minded and is small and shite. He's like a converted winger. Doig is a unit and quality.

Taylor absolutely makes more sense compared to Doig for the Euros. The defence is still quite questionable and it would make sense to have somebody more defensively minded and experienced should Robertson be injured and Tierney kept in the centre or also injured.
Can Taylor defend the back post ?
If so he is in !

O'Donnell was playing in the Championship until he was 22 and only really became a realistic prospect for the Scotland team until about two months before he got capped, so I'd say he literally did appear out of the woodwork. McGregor didn't break into the Celtic team until he was 21, and McGinn was playing in the Championship when he got his debut, albeit having already impressed for St Mirren in the top flight before their relegation.The problem with aftertiming like this is that it is very easy to look at someone's career in hindsight and say "how did we not cap them sooner", but I'm not sure that any of the guys you listed above would have been highlighted as absolute clear future Scotland internationals at the age of 19, certainly not the way Gilmour or Patterson would have been. Fraser and Armstrong were probably the two most likely ones, but the former basically disappeared into the English lower leagues as a teenager. You can dig up almost any thread from years ago and look at the young guys being proposed to see how difficult it is to get right.
Hanley was capped as a teenager in the current squad too btw. At a similar time we also chucked caps at Danny Wilson and Steven Saunders as teenagers, with Wilson of course being partly culpable for our elimination from Euro 2012.
If I'm looking at current Scottish teenager who are likely to have a future in the national team, I'd say Gilmour, Patterson and Hickey are the only ones I'd be pretty certain of. Then you can point at the likes of Doig who would have more of a chance if he wans't a left-back. After that you've got the two boys at Bayern and Liam Smith at Man City, but it's pure guesswork with them because I haven't seen them play.

We had Gough, McLeish, Miller, Hansen, Malpas and Nicol available and kept 6 clean sheets in 8 games. I don't think our defence was a problem tbh

He can progress the ball well into midfield and is more likely to get the space and time playing deeper, a bit like Tierney. It also means we can pick one fewer centre-back, which remains our weakest position.
With Jack injured our weakest position is central defensive midfielder
