I think if all people are fit

Clarke will start this team

                       Gunn

           Porteous Hendry, Tierney

   Ralston, Gilmour, McGregor, Robertson

              McGinn, McTominay

                     Adams

Probably not far away. I expect Hanley to get at least another 45 though, maybe 60. Clarke wants to play him, he needs to see him against a team that actually crosses halfway. Suspect thats why he went off at 45 on Monday. Think Hanley will start ahead of Porteous (Hendry will move to RCB).

If Adams isnt fit enough to start then either Shankland or Conway to do so. In fact I might protect Adams and just do that anyway.

Obviously no surprise if Christie starts ahead of McTominay, McGinn or Gilmour.

Taking neutrality to the extreme there.

 

And anyway, it’s scotland that does the self defeating thank you very much.

Clarke said after the Gibraltar game he wanted to look at the back-4 from up in the stands not so much for the Euros games, but with a view to future games later down the line which makes me wonder if he is considering relying less on the Tierney/Robertson dynamic going forward after the Euros. Perhaps with Robertson getting a little older now and Tierney not entirely reliable then it might be a case of managing their minutes in the future during the Nations League or even WC-2026 qualifying.

It was more about the shape of the team because I changed to a back-4 and we normally go with a back-3 or a back-5 if you like, but it was just to see how we shaped up on the pitch. Where there might be spaces, obviously you’re playing against a really deep block. To look upstairs was probably not for the games in Germany, but hopefully I’m still the head coach going forward after Germany and it was a little bit more just to have an idea.
