His stats are not quite as good as Gauld's either. Close though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) A while ago, but Lewis Morgan was in Clarke's first squad. As was Johnny Russell. Ryan Gauld is anyones guess. Clarke had previously said it's a tough area of the squad to break into. Interpret that how you want. Maybe some or all are on a long list. If any of them are too good to be ignored they'll be called up. That's the bottom line for me so comes down to not being better than what we have. Gauld played with Robbo and Souttar so there's that avenue. Maybe Clarke thinks Gauld is a bad egg. Edited May 9 by 2426255 -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Vancouver it's around a 10hr flight direct to UK so it's not even overly long compared to if he were in Australia or something, it's crazy to think that Clarke has called up the likes of Devlin, Taylor, Brophy, Considine, o'Donnell etc but no Gauld 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Hendry playing in Saudi shows you can play in leagues outside of Europe and be called up. Not sure on travel time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye cause he was a regular starter for Scotland before he went there and we got f**k all other CB options. Plus Saudi has the money to pull in the worlds most famous players to give it some gravitas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're trying to imply but I still don't get the point here, why does that matter? You can always replace a defender that you're never going to play with Gauld in a friendly for example... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip. A rare occasion of someone getting called up just because they were down the road. He was called up for the next squad against Cyprus and Kazakhstan too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
