Caledonian1 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Kelly and Clark are fortunate that they are first team goalies let alone internationalists. Have watched both closely since I heard Gunn was injured and not at all impressed. I still think that Clarke was at Hampden yesterday to watch Marshall - not a great option but at least experienced. Why is the current crop of Scottish goalies so poor.....all top clubs have Academies with dedicated Goalkeeping coaches yet we dont seem to have anyone at present good enough for club football let alone the international side 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing we're already qualified. https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/news/article/first-team-aaron-hickey-brentford-injury-update This is exactly why I couldn't understand any person wanting Norway to beat Spain last month - it would be terrifying to be heading into vital games missing so many players, especially so many in the same position. Obviously these games are still important to an extent, but the main thing is to qualify first and worry about seeding and everything else later. Fortunately we can still have Taylor and Patterson in the full-back/wing-back positions so it's not terminal, but the drop off on both sides is substantial. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing a lot of players in the same few positions now, I am glad we got the job done so it’s not as bad as it might have been if we still needed points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeding-wise, the only result people would have wanted - surely - was a draw, which would have both qualified us AND kept us in with a really strong chance of winning the group? I think a few people were as you say wanting Norway to beat Spain - but more so we could then seal qualification under our own steam (which I agree is blasé/bonkers). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoP Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Ross Stewart finally played yesterday!!!! Only a few minutes at the end but great news anyway The only forward player with a chance of breaking into next summers 23 Think it’s gonna come too soon for Doak He needed a real breakthrough at Liverpool to already have started Time will tell but happy for Ross Stewart We could do with another option 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 I haven't seen this mentioned probably because it clashed with the Euro-2024 draw, but Kieran Tierney played the 74 minutes yesterday in Real Sociedad's draw away to Osasuna yesterday which is brilliant news. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian1 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I have noticed that Brentford are going through a terrible run and it seems to have coincided with Aaron Hickey's absence - is he out for long? havent seen anything online regarding his injury. I just think Hickey is a tremendous footballer and clearly Brentford miss him - as did Scotland when he wasnt available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 (edited) Kevin Nisbet has picked up a hamstring injury unfortunately for him. Not sure how long he'll be out for yet. Still too early to be catastrophic for his chance of going to the Euro's (~14 weeks) but it remains to be seen if it puts his hopes for March at risk (~6 weeks). Quote Nizzy has got a hamstring injury and it looks a fairly significant one. He’s going to see a specialist next week to get the full extent of the damage and exactly how long he will be out. He’s definitely out for the forseeable. Joe Edwards https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/sport/millwall-striker-kevin-nisbet-suffers-fairly-significant-hamstring-injury/ Currently Kieran Tierney, Aaron Hickey, Greg Taylor and now Kevin Nisbet are our players who are injured.

Don't think he makes the cut for the squad tho. Every time he didn't get a move from Hibs he'd go in a huff and I never liked that. The crux of it is this, and it's petty as f**k. He was outstanding at youth level for us and when he made the first team he thought he'd made it and proceeded to do f**k all. So began a heroes journey through the leagues where he was the best striker in the league playing for Dunfermline before heading to Hibs. It still rankles that we developed him and never saw the fruit of that. So aye. Pure bias and petty as hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You received development payments when he went to millwall If it makes you feel any better we’ve blown his transfer money on a 4g pitch and some kids teams.
