EdinburghLivi Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Dodgy draw. One of two places we didn't win at in our Division 2 & 3 seasons so a professional job required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepundit Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Rangers set to cancel their match against East Fife due to players on international duty. In a tournament where non-first team players should be getting their chance to impress. Terrible decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepundit Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Which players are on duty? I'm not sure but I am in no doubt the players who aren't should be able to get a win against East Fife (with the greatest respect) Just a rumour at this point but absolutely baffling if true.

HibeeJibee Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Today's Scotsman has an article saying that McCoist wants the tie to be postponed although it doesn't say it has been or will be, tbf. Rules require 3, apparently. They've only had 1 player called-up, for an U21 international (McLeod). Although Shiels and Mohsni are said to be stand-bys, and McCoist thinks Boyd should be called-up.

Its been confirmed as postponed on twitter. Even if all 3 are called up there is no need, but for 1 who isn't even called up for a full squad its ridiculous.

laughing gravie Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 McCoist thinks Boyd should be called-up. Why? For scoring a few against Clyde? Playing in the Scottish championship is hardly the same level as playing in the English Championship.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Why has it been postponed if they've only 1 (U21) called-up? Or do standby lists now count as called-up? Changed days from a few years ago when Dundee were made to play Partick (IIRC) despite having several men actually called-up. SFL as was pulled-out every stop to make them play including saying their Cypriot lad didn't as it was an U21 tie and Antoine-Curier's CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifer didn't count as Guadeloupe weren't FIFA members.
