jamboinglasgow Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 You have been made Scotland manager, its the next set of matches and you need to pick a 23 man Scotland squad. All players are 100% fit and form. Who do you pick? Goalkeepers David Marshall (Hull) Scott Bain (Celtic) Jon McLaughlin (Sunderland) Defenders Liam Cooper (Leeds) Jason Souttar (Hearts) Scott McKenna (Aberdeen) Liam Lindsay (Stoke) Andrew Robertson (Liverpool) Kieran Tierney (Celtic) Stephen O'Donnell (Kilmarnock) Callum Patterson (Cardiff) Midfielders Kenny McLean (Norwich) John McGinn (Aston Villa) Stuart Armstrong (Southampton) Callum MacGregor (Celtic) Scott McTominay (Man Utd) James Forrest (Celtic) Liam Henderson (Hellas Verona) Ryan Fraser (Bournemouth) Strikers Oli McBurnie (Swansea) Leigh Griffiths (Celtic) Steven Naismith (Hearts/unattached) Matt Phillips (West Brom) And I will throw in a few standybys Liam Kelly (QPR) David Bates (Hamburg) Ryan Christie (Celtic) Steven Fletcher (Sheffield Wednesday) Jack Harper (Getafe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thommo414 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

Alan_R Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
