eez-eh Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 You can call up replacements until the first game. There’s loads of other teams playing friendlies across this weekend. I don’t know why some people are making out we’re disorganised for playing right before the “deadline”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I'm pleased we've added another attacking option, I think we were one too light as it stood and it makes sense to replace Doak with another guy who can play wide and is relatively quick and dynamic. He offers miles more value to the squad than having a 7th centre-back in there, which is the position you'd assume will be dropping out.

I don’t know why some people are making out we’re disorganised for playing right before the “deadline”. To back this post up: You can replace an injured/ill player between the squad announcement and Scotland's first match at the tournament, but needs to be authorised by UEFA. Goalkeepers are an exception can be replaced after the first game, but also require UEFA approval. Quote 48.04 Should listed players or goalkeepers become seriously injured or ill, they may only be substituted if both their team doctor and a doctor from the UEFA Medical Committee confirm that the injury or illness is sufficiently serious to prevent them from taking part in the final tournament. Subject to the final approval of the UEFA administration, they may be replaced on the list of players registered for the final tournament, as follows: players and goalkeepers may be replaced before their team's first match in the final tournament, goalkeepers may also be replaced before their next match during the final tournament. https://documents.uefa.com/r/Regulations-of-the-UEFA-European-Football-Championship-2022-24/Article-48-Player-lists-Online That's from 3rd-May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment we have 4 goalkeepers. 11 who can play in the back-5 [4 full-backs. 6 centre-backs. + 1 that can do both (Tierney)]. 13 who can play in the front-5 [3 Strikers] [3 central midfielders. 4 attacking midfielders. + 3 that can do both (McGinn, McTominay, McLean]. A few who could fill in across both areas in an emergency. (McTominay, Jack, Forrest or McLean). I'd say we're currently better stocked for attacking options given the recent additions of Morgan and Conway, but in terms of the squad it's looking quite an exciting balance at the moment with 28 players and great coverage in terms of positions.

The Algebraist Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Just noticing Maddison cut from the England squad. Crazy to think that if he had stuck it Elliot Anderson would almost certainly be on the plane with us. Seems a bit of an irrelevance now although I hope he wins the world cup for us at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke picked 6 CDs in the Euro 2020 squad. I think a CD gets dropped but I'm not sure which one, I'd guess Cooper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS_FFC Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Don’t understand that decision at all unless he’s looked awful in training. Kelly is dreadful and just signed up to be a backup at Rangers. Surely you at least take him as a good dressing room guy and mentor for the younger guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Keep Cooper in the squad. They’re always talking up how much of a leader he is. Has to be Souttar getting cut if it’s a defender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly hasn't actually signed for Rangers despite the constant comments that he has. It does seem likely though. Apparently he is a popular character in the changing room too - bear in mind Gordon is basically a decade older than the rest. Still wouldn't have been my choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 If you take sentiment away, Gordon being dropped is the sensible decision. Gunn, Clark and Kelly have been first choice at their clubs all season while Gordon has played about half a dozen games. While I agree that Gordon is a better keeper than Kelly, you can't be sentimental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue taking Kelly is more sentimental if it’s because he’s turned up through qualifying. Clark is clearly second choice anyway so not worth getting worked up about the third choice. It’s surprised me though. Edited June 6 by eez-eh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
