Just about to post that a rare 45 mins for him hasnt ended well. Didnt look especially bad.

Dunfermline Don Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 The national teams injuries are starting to remind me of The Pars earlier this season when it seemed every game saw a player being taken off injured and being out for weeks/months. Get McGinn, Robertson, Tierney wrapped in cotton wool now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure more will come put later after the scan. That's not good. Tbh I wasn't really paying much attention to the tv when he picked it up. Game was going through the motions by then. However, he limped off unassisted and walked back to the dug out so it didn't appear to have completely gone. Unless it's very serious most hamstring issues are 4 - 6 weeks which, even if it ends his season, might just about get him back for the Euros. That said, Hickey's been out for 6 months with his! Seems more likely than ever though that with both our right backs having hamstring issues, even if they make it Clarke's going to have to take Ralston for cover so there's your 23rd man (unless squads are increased to 26). Although Ferguson's absence creates another squad vacancy anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No great loss, I don't think he's improved much at all since he's been at Everton and we are probably better off with Ralston at this moment in time if Hickey doesn't return. The other option is to play Fraser at wing back as he once did for us but can't see Clarke trying this out or bringing in Ramsey -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said the word great before loss. Patterson has been stinking for club and country lately so might turn out to be a good thing. SoD played brilliant at Wembley in the last euros so I'm sure we will be able to get someone to fill in adequately. I would be a lot more concerned if Gunn was injured for example though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS_FFC Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 On recent evidence, it’s a much bigger drop off from Hickey to Patterson than it is from Patterson to Ralston. I’m hopeful that Hickey will be fit, but if neither of them make it then we might need to try something creative. Would any of the CBs or midfielders have the pace to play RWB? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just phased out but he'd surely be behind Max Johnston at this stage anyway if we needed to call up another right back as well as Ralston. Johnston was in the squad for the French friendly last year. Edit - Calvin Ramsay has been in a squad more recently than O'Donnell too. Is he injured again or just miles out of favour at Bolton? He's barely kicked a ball this season anyway.

Jives Miguel Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Ralston has always been fine for Scotland. Not worried if we need to play him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Worst case scenario, I'd go with Ralston and Fraser as the RWB options. I suppose Johnston could be a "bring him along" selection if the squad size gets increased, but I've not been a huge fan of him from the admittedly little I've seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Why not call Doig up and play him RB? Not as if we've not put players out of position before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Ross McCrorie seems to be playing again after injury, but unsure if Clarkes ever selected him for RWB? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both of these will be behind Ralston (obviously) and Max Johnston. Fair chance they are ahead of O'Donnell and Calvin Ramsay though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Clarke throwing a new guy in there for the first time at the Euros and it's probably why he integrated the likes of Johnston a while back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
