Which blistering goal machines do you feel Clarke has omitted from the squad? 

A cracker!

I’d like to have seen Lewis Morgan involved in the last few squads.
Perhaps I’m a bit biased. 
Not saying he would be the answer but I’d rather have had him included than guys like Ryan Fraser, McBurnie and Burke.

None of them are in the squad? 🤷‍♂️

In fact I’m pretty certain neither McBurnie nor Burke have been in squads for ages.

The only forward there that I wouldn’t necessarily have had in is Jacob Brown. But I wouldn’t have had Morgan in in his place. I’d have  brought in a young guy like Doak just to blood him in the squad. Immaterial now anyway as he’s injured. 
I’m not convinced Morgan is the answer. Yes, he seems to be performing reasonably well in the MLS, but if you watch the games, the standard can be comically bad. Ryan Gauld performs well in that league too and he doesn’t seem to be anywhere near a call up either.

Yep , Burke & McBurnie haven’t featured for almost 2 1/2 years while Fraser hasn’t been picked as he’s training with the U-23s and looking to move clubs .

Johnny Russell got quite a few caps while playing in the MLS.

Not sure if he was still in the picture when Steve Clarke took over.

He didn’t really mate. After he signed for Kansas he was called up for that trip to Peru and Mexico (which Morgan and my granny were also called up for). I think he’s only been called up on one other occasion since then.

He only got 14 caps in total and I’m sure the vast majority were pre MLS. 

[ianmac]

According to Wiki it looks like he got 10 caps while in the MLS although the last was in 2019, the year Clarke took over. Not sure if they overlapped. 

Anyway, looks like Clarke was not impressed......

Good. 😂 

Fraser was recalled after being a bit of a dick. I felt he had done nothing outstanding to warrant being recalled.

The other two. Meh.
 

Unbelievable how those two imposters have amassed such large transfer fees never mind call ups to Scotland.

I guess I’m still bitter that Sir Douglas Somner was never ever given a chance. 😤

Setting off shortly for this, looks freezing and wet today sadly

3 points however can make it worthwhile

I can confirm it's dry and sunny in Paisley, maybe if you ask nicely they'll move it from Hampden to SMP just for you. [emoji848]

PS you're starting to sound like a southern softie regarding the weather. [emoji14]

PPS anyone available to collect my car from the garage today. Don't think I'm fit to drive today. [emoji43]‍[emoji94]

Hope you, and the family, have a great journey mate and Scotland get the win.

Unfortunately, I'll be in a plane for the whole game so I won't know the score until I land, fingers crossed.

Nothing to do with the game, but I'm heading over to Prague in a week or so. Was last there 18 years ago.

Any restaurant/pub recommendations?

My mate just asked me a question that I’d no clue about.

Before Gogic, who was the last St. Mirren player to play against Scotland??

[Balmullo Bud]

Not sure, but I thought Gogic had a cracking game for them today.

I’d guess Willie Cunningham in 1954
