1320Lichtie Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Forrest and Bannan? FFS. I'd go Marshall Hutton Berra Martin Robertson Brown Fletcher Morrison Naismith Anya Fletcher Against Ireland Gordon/Bain Whittaker Greer Reynolds Forsyth Adam McArthur Ritchie Russell Bannan Griffiths V Qatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Is McGregor injured or has he just been dropped because he's not playing at Hull? And Hanley must still be injured too (the delicate wee flower that he is)? Griffiths deserves a shot based on recent form - glad to see him in. As always, McCormack misses out, which is a shame. Same with Rhodes. Overall, not too much of a deviation from the last squad and probably our strongest lot with just a few fringe changes. ETA - no Matt Phillips? I can smell a scarf being burnt somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Doesn't seem like the right time to go changing things tbh. The team has worked well so far and Ireland is our biggest game in years with Qatar being the only preparation for it. Can see him playing pretty much a full strength starting eleven in Edinburgh while taking advantage of substitutes in the second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can smell a scarf being burnt somewhere... I just seen Strachans interview on sky there and he said McGregor has been carrying an injury for roughly a year so it was best to leave rest him. Scott Bain is out for the season as well but I don't actually know how serious his injury is. Credit to him though as he's been excellent for us.

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I can only assume that Forrest knows some awful secret about Gordon Strachan or the SFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Great news about Bain. Well-deserved. I know circumstances have dictated it, but it must be a long, long time since a Dundee player was called up but there was no-one from any of Rangers, Hearts, Hibs or Dundee Utd in the squad.

SpoonTon Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Forrest and Bannan? FFS. Bannan has been excellent for Scotland, especially under Strachan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayTheEasyBaw Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Mulgrew??? He's been injured for 5 months and only just back!!! Surprised Rhodes can't get a look in. I reckon we have a strong starting 11 but I wouldn't say we have quality and depth in the squad. Anyway we should have enough to beat that Ireland team. Mon the Scotland!!!

1320Lichtie Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Bannan has been excellent for Scotland, especially under Strachan. I know he has been, he's been decent when he's played, probably harsh me saying that tbh. I always usually stick up for him, he played well against Gibraltar but I would've liked to see Armstrong and/or GMS in instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisGRAEME Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I love the Scottish FA facebook page when a squad is announced. A whole collection of folk genuinely furious that whichever of Arfield/Jack/Shinnie/Souttar isn't included, or screeching about Scott Brown's inclusion. Terrific value.

Cov_Doonhamer Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Mulgrew? Really? I know he's been injured, but who would you pick instead of him? He was unreal in the game at Parkhead last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The call ups aren't going to make much difference in the grand scheme of things. The team is relatively settled and barring injuries will be very similar to the last few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larbert_Par Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Also don't see the fuss over Mulgrew coming back. We could be a bit more vulnerable at CB with the Hanley/Martin partnership being disrupted, and Mulgrew sitting in front of the back four could be crucial. As said, he was terrific in November and, really, has been pretty consistent under WGS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayTheEasyBaw Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Mulgrew has been out injured for 5 months! Aye he was on top form before the injury but you don't just bounce back flying after that long out. It's not possible he is match fit or sharp. Can only imagine he is in there for experience and support to the younger boys in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
