Scotland don't tend to throw the ball in though, we tend to play the pass and move game with ball into feet and that includes the wingers, they also like to cut inside and have a shot themselves as opposed to hitting the byline and curling a ball in for a big Joe Jordan type to come hurling in.

Who knows, maybe we SHOULD mix it up a bit as while not great to watch, it did work for Ireland last night against a vastly technically superior opponent in Switzerland.

Frankly, I'm willing to try anything to see us get the 3 points.................

Surely that's the product of a tactical decision based on who we're playing up front, though. No point in crossing it for Brophy or Griffiths. Maybe Fletcher, but he doesn't seem to have a knack for actually scoring and is better at playing others in.

                                    Marshall

O'Donnell        Cooper      Mulgrew       Robertson

                        McTominay      McGinn

Phillips                    Armstrong                   Fraser

                                     Russell

Russia are dug meat. 2-0 with Forest scoring both.

Their record before the last world cup was poor.

They huffed and puffed their way through their own tournament.

I genuinely feel, especially at Hampden, they are on a par with us.

McGinn McTominay McGregor
Forrest McBurnie Fraser

The midfield was always going to cause debate, but I did think Christie and McLean would've started. McGinn and McGregor didn't really do enough against Cyprus, although this will obviously be a different type of game.
