C'mon, Gunn has not shown any particular inclination to play for the county of his father's birth, the lad at Burton isn't in the picture. Motherwell are going through a bad patch, and McLaughlin is dropped.

There is however a Scottish keeper playing for the team 3rd in the SPFL who has the highest% clean sheet ratio this season.

The question of back up or future keepers stays open, but surely Zander Clark is the next obviously in line? 

Yeah, Clark isn't good enough to be a long term option and would only have a place in the team until someone younger and better emerges, similar to how Stephen O'Donnell has fallen away since the emergence of Patterson and Ramsay plus Hickey playing on the right regularly at club level, but for now he's obviously the least bad option.

Zander Clark is better than Gunn, I think. Gunns just seen less often by fans of Scottish clubs so his flaws aren't as obvious.

Neither are really anywhere near Gordon though.

I'd sooner quantum leap into the body of a black, gay, Gypsy Jew and spend the winter of '41 interned in Bergen-Belsen than see Zander Clark play for Scotland.

Reported...

Spoiler

...for mentioning Zander Clark and Scotland in the same sentence.

Marshall has been decent enough, very good with his feet but a couple of errors this season, Hearts away being the main one where he just decided to stand on his post as the hearts attacker ran through leaving him an empty net, Pickford esq.

Apparently he said at an interview recently he had a holiday booked for the international break when he was asked about it so didn’t sound like a return was likely.

Suspect it’ll be Clark, don’t rate him particularly highly but as he’s no longer a St Johnstone player I don’t mind him being in the team.

Grant Hanley looking very dodgy there.

Yep definitely had a moment there. The second clip made Kenny McLean look a bit silly too but to be fair he looked brilliant against Birmingham City from what I saw of the highlights.

If you can show some examples of this it would be good to see.

There's also levels too. Adams is a far, far better striker than Gunn is a GK

Why would it be good to see? Would you not want him playing for us.

It was reported before we asked him and he turned us down. And was asked again at a later date. So potentially the same as Gunn, if he is even selected. Or wants to be.

Can you provide evidence that Gunn wouldn't feel value getting capped?
