McBurnie ran himself into the ground on Thursday night with no service what so ever. He has a physical presence and pace, similar to Dykes, that most defences at international level will not enjoy. This is crucial at international level, especially in a team like Scotland who are not going to control games and out pass the opposition. People seem absolutely desperate for him to fail and drive him out the squad. No idea why? If your looking to weed out the sh*te in the squad, we can start with Gallagher, O’Donnell, Patterson, Paul McGinn, Considine and Shankland.

For me Patterson should not be on the squad. He is not up to it. Looked like a rugby player running about a football pitch on Thursday night. Griffiths (if fit), Dykes, McBurnie are your men. Then your looking at Burke, Nesbit at Hibs and Hornby from the 21’s.

Griffiths I agree. For me if he is back in the squad then there is no need for Shankland. I don’t know what it is but when Shankland is on the pitch he looks like a little boy who has won a competition.

Let’s be honest, apart from McGinn, has any player covered themselves in Glory since Steve Clarke has come in? The entire team has had no end product and the service to the striker(s) has been non existent. McBurnie ran himself into the ground on Thursday and has the physical attributes for international football. I think we should stick with him and Dykes for the time being. Him and Dykes look a handful for most defences.

What’s wrong with McBurnie?
