If I was Scotland manager, I would simply pick 23 players who are not Charlie "****ing" Mulgrew.

Christophe and Christie every day of the week.  Christophe ahead of Soapy too who isn’t ready for the level yet.

Think I'd drop Scott McKenna for about any other defender that qualifies for Scotland. Just to knock a few million quid off this mythical £10M valuation Aberdeen seem to have for him

No Berra?

On the last 6 months or so surely you don't think Berra deserve to be picked he was in fit and out of form.

Nothing against him personally but he needs to improve just to get a start for hearts never mind the national team

About time:

 

Marshall

Bain

McLaughlin

 

Tierney 

Robertson

Paterson

O'Donnell

Souttar

McKenna

Berra (why is he not involved?)

 

Forrest

Fraser

Mikey Johnston

Christie

McTominay

McGinn

Armstrong

Ryan Jack

MacGregor

 

Naismith

Griffiths

Brophy

Harper

 

A few punts there (Johnston looks quality for Celtic) and Jack can play the defensive midfield role quite well. Harper's move to Getafe will hopefully be the making of him, Philips I don't rate and I have never rated Fletcher as a regular goalscorer on the international scene.

I’ve seen you post some nonsense over the last wee while but that’s taken it to a new level. Absolute nonsense.

Fox/Kingsley? Does it require there to be 3 Keepers.  If so take out Kingsley, if not, remove Fox.

Whens he played decent for Scotland? He even had a poor season domestically.  He will have to concentrate on being the best defender at the club and stand out every week before he’s good enough international level.

Put in Kelly, Christie and Harper for Marshall, McBurnie and Phillips and that's my squad 

 

Surely there must be a half decent right back option out there? Can't think of anyone personally but the fact that the Killie right back walks into the starting line up is a bit tragic

No one mentioned Matt Ritchie yet? not many in the scotland squad can strike a ball like him. Asked not to be selected by Mcleish but in fantasy world id pick him.

Stuart Findlay worth being in the mix given some of the defensive options given.

Maybe Anya for RB? dont really rate o'donnell.

Griffiths has to be first pick if "fit and in form" our forward options are truly woeful.

I wouldn’t pick anyone who didn’t want to be picked previously.

Even in fantasy world
