jamboinglasgow Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 With the misery of following the first team of Scotland, I thought I would start an optimistic thread. So put in here any player, not yet capped for Scotland, that looks good and could make it as a Scotland player. So to start, a couple of Gilmours. Billy Gilmour - an obvious one, as he comes with a lot of hype in the press. But seems to be justifying it at the moment. 17 year old attacking midfielder at Chelsea. Appears on the edge of getting into the first team. Has been a regular for Chelsea's under 23s and a key player. Seen by as one of the next ones to follow Callum Hodson-Odoi to the first team (or a loan to Germany perhaps.) Charlie Gilmour - another midfielder, this time at Arsenal. Has already made his Arsenal debut in the Europa League and is on the fringe of the first team (currently away with the first team at a training camp in Dubai.) 20 years old. Add in any players. Hopefully this will keep going as a way of keeping a track on up and coming Scottish players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) There are a few promising players. Perhaps surprisingly Rangers youth are worth a look. Gilmour, Harry Cochrane, Craig Halkett and Liam Kelly as well as David Bates all ex Rangers and the McCrories both still there. Worth keeping a look out.

Add in Mebude who Rangers rate really highly, Middleton as well has done well this season for Rangers. Aberdeen have a few with Lewis Ferguson being the big one, also McLennon and Campbell.

Where are the gifted talented youngsters in our team? As long as CL persists in digging up clapped out hulking players from other leagues instead of focussing on youth development it's unlikely to change. The biggest myth around is that CL has sorted out the academy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokyowalnut Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I'm surprised Liam Henderson hasn't been in a squad, I wonder if anyone has been to watch him?! Good to see the Arsenal lad getting a chance. I'd like to see what players have played 100 games by 20, I'm guessing that wont be a long list!

Mikey1874 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) We have age group squads. U16, U17, U19, U21. So simple enough to look through these. But I do wonder if we also need a 'development squad'. Guys like Liam Henderson for example not in full squad. Difficult with all the rules on player availability. But also about finding players with the right attitude too. Could include youngsters. John McGinn is an example. In main squad and has played. But I don't think he is quite ready. But he could be a real leader in a couple of years. Edited March 26, 2019 by Mikey1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Dunphy Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 The problem isn’t actually the current crop of players at Scotland’s disposal. Northern Ireland, Wales and R.O.I all have a smaller pool of players to choose from and have qualified for major tournaments recently. Scotland have plenty of good players, the problem is the lack of desire to actually get to a tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to look at the club careers of ex-scotland managers after they have managed the national team! The last one to have a better career after scotland than before was Alex Ferguson, since then you have had Andy Roxburgh - Never managed at club level Craig Brown - Won nothing at Preston, Motherwell or Aberdeen (even once lost out on the Dundee job to Jocky Scott!) Berti Vogts - Never managed at club level after Scotland, spent 6 years in Azerbajan Tommy Burns - Never managed a club after Scotland Walter Smith - Ran back to sevco, doubt any other club would have taken him Alex McLeish - 5 sackings then returned to Scotland job, 1 english league cup at Birmingham George Burley - done nothing with Palace and then managed for 2 days in cyprus, nothing since Craig Levein - Like Smith, returned to former club, unlikely to have found work at a higher level/another club the same size Billy Stark - couple of lower division sides Gordon Strachan - No clubs managed after scotland Malky McKay - won't manage at club level again Mcleish mk2 - He'll retire after this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) 20 minutes ago, red said: The SFA need to reshuffle everything before we can ever get excited about our young talent again. Yup. The guys running the show have failed to show any ability to succeed. Fresh faces are needed before this potential golden generation is ruined. If we just look at english born players Gunn (if he could be convinced), Mctominay, C. Gilmour, Hornby are all quality prospects. Scottish born players like B. Gilmour, Burke, Souttar, Paterson, McKenna, Lindsay, Bates and McGinn are looking good too. Then you have players like Fraser, Robertson, Tierney, Armstrong and perhaps Griffiths which have a bit more experience and are all capable of big performances. There is no reason other than managerial incompetence why with those players we can't reach the next tournament. Mcleish needs binned now and someone with a bit about them brought in. At this rate, we just need to get the monkey off our backs. To have seen Ireland go to pretty much every tournament despite barely having a domestic league and lacking clubs the size of Celtic, the huns, Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen is unbelievably offensive (in that doncaster and co have retained their jobs). Irrespective of how we do in the games to come Doncaster and co must go. Its been a horrible time of absolute apathy run by that complete nonentity of a 'man' - since any actual man would have walked in utter embarrassment at his performance. Edit: Since Angus Gunn doesn't seem too keen to play for Scotland, who are our next best young keepers? Pls not Scott Bain.
