Patterson is a bomb scare, Hickey will play if only 60% fit.

Hickey making good progress apparently: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68836989

McCrorie is definitely worthy of consideration

I agree, Ralston is a good steady option. Far better than a completely off the boil Patterson whose confidence is completely shot due to not getting a game at an abysmal team. I think Fraser has to be in the squad now in place of Ferguson, gives us a different option.

Personally, I would rather Ralston over Patterson as he is just a bit more steady on the defensive side. Ferguson is a blow, he definitely would have featured at the Euros off the bench, but we have plenty of midfielders lets face it. I still think we need a Plan B, would like to see someone who can play on the wing, and it seems that Fraser is too much of a wee fanny for Clarke so who knows?

I agree we need a Plan B and maybe even a bit of a wildcard, but I'm pretty sure that Clarke will have looked into Gauld by now.

I'm going to head along tonight but honestly the performances under the new guy have been dreadful. Far too much passing about at the back which we just aren't suited to, get the ball out to the wings where we are strong. Think this will be a must win for the manager tonight personally.

Almost certainly, he plays in the MLS.

My big issue with Clarke is a lack of plan B. Also he should have hooked Patterson at half time. We desperately need another right back and at least one winger who can mix it up.

Haha that's so true, virtually no queue and straight in. Was there in plenty time and didn't know what to do with myself.

No Gilmour? Sorry mate that's just ridiculous. I think the team will be the same as started the other night.

I would play Ralston ahead of him after that performance the other night, he was really poor.

The big things we learned last night are that Patterson has not improved at all and Gilmour is critical for us holding our shape and being able to control the middle, when he left the midfield it was a shambles. I think had McKenna not withdrawn he would have come on for Tierney, more comfortable as left CB though that doesn't really explain why Souttar was so bad. I'd also give Shankland another start on Tuesday.

I recently bought a 1986 tap from DHGate in a Large, when it arrived it was a Large, all good.

Ours arrived yesterday too.
