this is great news, did wonder about broony as soon as mulgrew got the red, who incidentallt has been superb under strach. Hopefullythis is not celtic rushing him back, was it not a fairly bad hamstring tear and he was ootfor 3 months? Going to be very important for us in getting points in poland.

As much as I'm loving Strachan being in charge, there is something seriously wrong when this lad is not getting picked.

The big problem or reason he is not being picked is because he cannot lead the front line. By this I mean he will score goals feeding off of his co-striker or poaching goals in the box. His game is NOT about holding the ball-up upfield until support arrives and developing attacks from there which is the type of striker Strachan is looking for in certain matches a la V Germany. He may very well be involved in future squads in this campaign though say versus Gibraltar where we are likely to start with two strikers upfront.

The thing is, it's great to have different options if things aren't going our way and he's a different option. It's just worrying when the squads are named, he seems to be completely frozen out

But if things aren't going our way and we change the man up front then Rhodes still isn't the man to lead the line alone. Sure he may be good to call on if we are in search of plenty of goals with a strike partner alongside him but he is just not up to leading the line and you feel that is the type of striker Strachan is looking for - a line leader.

Rhodes has played upfront on his own plenty. He definitely should be in the squad. No brainer
