Strachan will want as much of a chance as possible to assess how well/badly the players have started the season. Tierney Griffiths etc are definites but the likes of McGregor, snodgrass, Burke etc are in the balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 All the papers saying that Archer will get his first call up. 132 years after being founded by Dundonian cannery workers, Millwall finally get a player called up for Scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borojock Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Scotland squad Goalkeepers Jordan Archer (Millwall) Craig Gordon (Celtic) Allan McGregor (Hull City) Defenders Ikechi Anya (Derby County) Christophe Berra (Heart of Midlothian) Grant Hanley (Newcastle United) Russell Martin (Norwich City) Charlie Mulgrew (Blackburn Rovers) Andrew Robertson (Liverpool) Kieran Tierney (Celtic) Steven Whittaker (Hibernian) Midfielders Stuart Armstrong (Celtic) Barry Bannan (Sheffield Wednesday) Scott Brown (Celtic) Tom Cairney (Fulham) Darren Fletcher (Stoke City) Ryan Fraser (Bournemouth) James Forrest (Celtic) James McArthur (Crystal Palace) John McGinn (Hibernian) Matt Phillips (West Bromwich Albion) Matt Ritchie (Newcastle United) Robert Snodgrass (West Ham United) Forwards Steven Fletcher (Sheffield Wednesday) Leigh Griffiths (Celtic) Chris Martin (Derby County) Steven Naismith (Norwich City) GK'S - Happy with is what i would have selected DF - I wouldnt have had Hanley or Anya as they arent playing first team football and cant be fit. I would have had Liam Cooper and Lee Wallace in MF - Only one is i would have made room for Calum McGregor probably at McGinns expense ST - I wouldnt have had Naismith in as i dont see what he bring especially as a striker, but him being there isnt keeping anyone i would be desperate to have. Maybe May in a couple of months if he keeps knocking the goals in Overall pretty happy with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Hibs Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 McGinn has been different class this season so far - a lot better than last season. I would even start him in these games. Green Tinted Glasses maybe, but he seems to bulked up and getting stuck in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Strachan's last ever squad hopefully & as usual it's uninspiring, fraught with questionable and baffling selections and ultimately disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in you want us to lose in Lithuania? Squad is pretty much as expected, Callum Macgregor might have had a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd feel sorry for McGinn if he lost his spot but what have Shinnie or McGregor got to do just to get in the squad. Whittaker is only there due to a lack of options at right back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest if you were the manager who would you have left out, who would you have in instead of them and why.

wanderer Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Good to see Archer get a chance, as he was really good with the U21's a few years back, and has been pretty consistent with Millwall last few seasons. Whittaker raised a eyebrow, but I do not expect the defence for these two games to differ much from the last few games..... Tierney, Robertson and Mulgrew have the shirts just now, and a case of does he reintroduce Russell Martin for these games or not. Midfield looks really strong, and while I would have liked to have seen MacGregor called up, it would have probably came at the expense of Snodgrass, Fletcher or Bannan (who regardless of form or game time, seem to always find their way into Strachans squads). Apart from that, pretty much as you were and no real surprises. Edited August 21, 2017 by wanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder who the moaners will say shoulda got in and at who's expense? Give it an hour or so and you'll see the usual suspects online wailing about how Danny Wilson, Lee Wallace, Ryan Jack and Graham Dorrans should have been called up Bannan, Darren Fletcher, Naismith and Snodgrass should be dropped. Got to move on from them. Pleased to see Tom Cairney is still in there. Good option from the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Does Strachan even watch games before he picks these squads any more? I give up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Hibs Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Looks like Olver Burke's Scotland career is over while Strachan is in charge. Saying that, his career at Liepzig also looks over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
