Squad for Moldova/Denmark

[craigkillie]

Maybe they believe he should be ahead of SOD and a player who isn't getting a game for his club. My guess certainly 

Aye, you can't account for bad opinions I suppose.

I mean I’m not as big a SOD fan as many on here but he’s started Motherwell’s last 7 games, so “not playing” isn’t something you can say about him.

I had assumed he was referring to SOD and AN Other. And the other I could only assume would be Gilmour. Great shout to test him as a right back or a right wing back. Personally I would have Gilmour in the heart of a back three.

It's still the same Anthony Ralston that wasn't good enough for Celtic last year

Why is he suddenly good enough for them now and Scotland 

But aye right now he probably looks at better player than SOD 

But SOD is solid on one on ones and is good in the air and more defensive minded

And that is why he is in,also don't think there is even a debate about who is better when comparing him to Patterson 

If we are taking Patterson out the squad the rest who aren't getting much game time need to come with him,Gilmour and Fraser and Armstrong 

And that simply isn't going to happen not with Stevie Clarke

Actually they mean Patterson. I’ve picked that up all wrong.

[the snudge]

I honestly thought Ralston and Karlan Grant would be in. I've never heard of this guy Brown but hopefully he's successfull. We've got a good few options

Ralston is only a better player than SOD in the final third 

If he can turn out to be a knock off version off TAV for Scotland would love it

Cos he has got the ability to score a great goal or two,but right now just can't see it

Patterson, playing or not, is clearly a better player than Ralston though. And SOD, for all his faults, is relatively experienced at international level now, and Clarke obviously trusts him.

Ralston is currently looking competent for the first time in his career, and he still won’t be anywhere near Celtic’s long term plans. Because he isn’t very good.

Never heard of Jacob Brown, but it’s always fun to see new players come into the squad. If he’s as quick as some are suggesting, that could definitely be an asset. We don’t really have an explosive sprinter up top.

[RandomGuy.]

As always, these announcements are tremendous simply for the meltdowns.

[Scotty Tunbridge]

Got to think Grant is just holding out a little bit longer, if West Brom go up and he hits a decent return in the #Barclays he could be in discussions for the England team.

Not to be cynical or anything but the Jacob Brown call-up confuses me. Admittedly I've never heard of him or seen him play before but he will have to be 'exceptionally good' to justify a call up to the Scotland squad. What harm could bringing a genuine u21 Scotland striker into the first team have done? Brown's goal-scoring record isn't exactly anything to be excited about. I'd have had Tony Watt called up instead.

We don't need a goalscorer to be honest. We need pace.

The u21 forwards aren't good enough for the u21s

[Tartan Dave]

Highlights from the weekend seem to show Brown having a decent partnership with old Tartan Army favourite Steven Fletcher #BringHimHome

[velo army]

Having two pacy lads up front in Adams and Broon sounds quite exciting tbh. Add in Robbo and Patterson steaming down either side and our tidy wee tik a taka midfield duo of Gilmour and McGregor and I'm quite optimistic.

I don’t think it’s a stretch to think that Jacob Brown is probably a better player than Zak Rudden and Glenn Middleton are

I don’t think you need to be exceptionally good to get a call up ahead of Tony Watt tbh.

Brown is 23 and might be useful, or at least develop and become useful. Watt is 27 and can’t play dead.

I like the idea of churning the bottom of the squad to see what you have, but if you’re doing so it makes sense to bet on players with an exceptional trait/skill, or who might improve. Watt isn’t either of those things and will never be good enough.

Delicious.

Seeing this a lot tbh. "Never seen him play but *insert players name here* is obviously better"

Hes a 1 in 3 goalscorer in the Championship who's apparently rapid, its surely not hard to see why Clarke has called him up after, presumably, watching him a few times this year.
