accies1874 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 15 minutes ago, Jaggy McJagface said: Given that this is quite a big squad for 2 games and that Clarke doesn’t usually like wasting people’s time by calling them up without the intention to use them, I wonder if we will see a lot of rotation in the lineup for the England game. The four strikers could be because Dykes was a doubt, and McKenna could well drop out too. I'd guess we'll line up against Cyprus similarly to the home game and England will be similar to Spain. Patterson/Hickey, Gilmour/McTominay, Armstrong/Christie, Dykes/Adams would be predictions for rotations. 3 minutes ago, Central Belt Caley said: We can’t have had many players playing in La Liga in a Scotland squad Oli Burke would've been the last one, I'd imagine, and yeah probably Hutton before him as said above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely forgot about Oli Burke too, I was hoping there would be some obscure Berti Vogts call up that I could use to impress folk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewanandmoreagain Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 The last time we played England after an important qualifier ( Ireland iirc ) we lost. WGS had not rotated , and said this was a mistake We have to BEAT Cyprus first though. NB the English moaning about Anderson choosing us. As if they have not benefited , and us suffered 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On as a sub against Cyprus and that’s him tied down. Hope I am wrong but he is U21 so does it not have to be 3 competitive games ?! as per " Pie of the Month " Edited August 28, 2023 by Ewanandmoreagain 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 That's a beautiful squad. I don't recall being so confident of winning a must win game before. That England game is looking quite tasty too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Jack Hendry must be one of a very very small number of players to have been called up for Scotland while playing his club football outside of the UEFA confederation. The only other name that springs to mind is Johnny Russell who was involved in the Scotland set up in 2018 and 2019 while playing for Sporting Kansas City in the USA. Does anyone have the full list of players that have been called up to Scotland whilst playing out with UEFA countries? It's not so long ago that we nearly exclusively called up players playing their club football in Scotland or England however it has become more common over the past few years to see guys going to France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Spain and Portugal, which I personally believe to be a good thing. Other than Russell and now Hendry though I don't remember anyone else getting called up from different continents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
