Have you never watched a Scotland match? Groan for your obvious response. No you never picked me up wrong. The Scotland players will create better chances than the Dundee utd players.

The point wasn't to be critical of Shankland's performance. The point was it's ludicrous to say he'll do fine against San Marino, as a matter of fact given he's prone to off days like every other player in the world. It's ludicrous to think the service he will get playing for Dundee utd is comparable with what he will get playing for Scotland.

You should say it on every thread, it is absolutely hilarious

Shhh, they don't know it's not real

I had derevyanchenko by a wide margin. Been a big fan of golovkin but hes finished at the top level now.

Wow, just wow

Ryan Gauld is in no way a decent comparison. What other hot prospects? You think this isn't the first time we have been down this road, when was the last time we had a teenager playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world (money wise at least). Getting rave reviews every time he steps on the pitch? I can't think of one example. You must be going back to the mullet days to think of someone. This is a unique situation, the guy is a special talent. He should be in as soon as possible.

I think being a first team regular at Chelsea standard is a bit of a high bar for our squad. Apart from Mctominay I couldnt see any of our midfielders being given a sniff of a chance at Chelsea.

Really?? I was never a fan tbh, he had great pace and really played his heart out. Had some great moments for sure for Scotland. Also gave the ball away regularly, couldn't hit a decent cross,was just generally lacking in quality.

I'd agree with all that if we were currently a winning team on a good run. But were a team with a supposed great midfield, struggling to control any midfield.

Unless it's a scottie dog it wouldnt be eligible

20% of all Kenny Millers goals were mis-hit scuffed shots. 80% were the ball accidently hitting off him, usually when he was looking the wrong way.

Id agree with that, he certainly had no lack of commitment or desire I also agree with that, its not me who says his record stands up to anyone And some days the sun shines on a dogs ass

The highest level he played at was the english premier league, where he scored 6 goals in 55 games.

god please dont reply

Does it stand up against Gerd Mullers? or Peles? Kenny Miller was crap absolute crap, ran around alot and then missed the 1 or 2 chances he had. Saying his record is good in comparison to other scotland strikers is a low bar really. Nothing against the guy personally always turned up and tried his best. But come on he was crap

Great input that, really constructive

Rhodes should have been given the chance, and Griffiths should have been in much earlier than he was. I think if the current management had been in charge at the time both would have happened. Unfortunately it looks like both of them are never going to get back to their best unfortunately. So unfortunately due to lack of alternatives mcburnie is the main man at the moment. On the original topic I'd have Gilmour in the squad, coming off the bench against Russia and starting against San Marino. Our much talked about brilliant midfield really isn't that brilliant. Or hasn't been that brilliant. Armstrong can't get a game. Mcgregor should have left for a bigger league to push on. Mcginn does well in England but hasn't really played well for Scotland.

At this point he can't be far away

Think the word you missed was dozens. Anyway, scored again today. Boys a machine

I think they clearly are. He was in the England youths but hes not had a cap since 2015 at u19 level. A quick Google search shows Ireland were sniffing about him recently but hes not eligible for them. I'm going to travel down to England this wkend on a special scouting trip. If he's good I'll tap him up for us. I'll be back with a full report.

I'll bear that in mind I find it strange people are so quick to dismiss a 21 year old scoring goals in the Championship and premier league last year. Considering our total lack of striking options. I'm not saying the guys good, never seen him play. But might be worth a look. I personally don't care where the guy was raised or what his accent is. If he could improve the squad and wants to play then great. But each to their own on that one.

Nobody has asked or debated if he was eligible? he is eligible.

I thought you meant he played for Everton, but that's his actual name!!

You can't tell a bad player by watching him play? No that's wrong A good player can tell your a good player without watching you play?
